This book uncovers a sophisticated rhetorical game in Second Sophistic prose in the Roman Empire, in which authors intentionally distorted poetic quotations to challenge readers, display erudition, and creatively rework the Greek literary past.It provides readers with a new interpretive framework for understanding the use and manipulation of quotations from classical poets, including Homer, Hesiod, and Pindar, among others, by Greek authors writing under Rome. Through close philological analysis, systematic classification of examples, and detailed case studies of authors of the Second Sophistic such as Plutarch, Lucian, Dio Chrysostom and Aelius Aristides, the book demonstrates how altered quotations functioned as sophisticated rhetorical strategies within elite paideia, offering tools applicable to the study of Imperial prose, intertextuality, and ancient literary culture more broadly.This volume is suitable for students and scholars working on the Second Sophistic and Greek literature in the Roman Empire, as well as those interested in ancient rhetoric and classical literature more broadly.

This study investigates the attitude of Lucian of Samosata towards the Greek tragedy. It presents for the first time a comparison between the Lucianic oeuvre and the Greek tragedy according to three points of view: i) the tragic language, ii) the tragic themes (philosophy, religion, morals, mythology), and iii) the literary forms (an analysis of the parodic Podagra). It also deals with the later history of the Greek tragedy, starting from the 4th century B.C. up to the Imperial times. Using the Lucianic corpus as a witness and a document of its time concerning the tragedy, we aim to gain a better knowledge of Lucian as a writer, of the history of the tragic genre through the antiquity and of the feeling which one had in the imperial times about the Greek civilization and the Greek language.

Die Beziehung Lukians von Samosata zur griechischen Tragödie ist Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung. Sie präsentiert zum ersten Mal einen Vergleich zwischen dem Oeuvre Lukians und der griechischen Tragödie, vor allem unter drei Gesichtspunkten: der tragischen Sprache, der Themen der Tragödie (Philosophie, Religion, Moral, Mythologie) sowie der literarischen Form (in einer Analyse der Parodie Podagra). Karavas berücksichtigt auch die spätere Geschichte der griechischen Tragödie vom 4. Jh. v. Chr. bis in die römische Kaiserzeit. Zieht man Lukians Werk und seinen Bezug auf die Tragödie als Zeugnis und Text seiner Zeit heran, so erreicht man eine bessere Kenntnis von Lukian als Autor, von der Gattungsgeschichte der Tragödie in der Antike und von der Einstellung, die in der römischen Kaiserzeit der griechischen Kultur und griechischen Sprache entgegengebracht wurde.
Der Autor wurde für dieses Buch mit dem "Prix Zographos" der "Association pour l''Encouragement des Études Grecques" ausgezeichnet.

Greek literature of the Roman Empire has long ago ceased to be treated as the fruit of pure imitation and unimaginative reproduction of literary models from the Classical age. Drawing from the conceptual and methodological agendas of modern fields such as narratology, cognitive studies, and linguistics, classicists have approached the authors of the Second Sophistic with a fresh eye and treat them as anything but lacking originality in the ways they chose themes and developed their compositional styles. Nevertheless, a great amount of the Imperial literature still remains significantly unexplored in terms of the ways literary genres evolved at those times and interacted with each other. Although rhetoric has left its mark on the literary production of this era, on the other hand, an abundance of other genres call for further comparative research. In this line of thought, the papers of this volume focus on how the literary goal-settings of Imperial Greek authors shaped the generic trends and physiognomy of current literary production, and penetrate more into the various co-existing and, very frequently, interactive modes of writing, in order to shed new light on the generic fusions operated in the Imperial Era on a literary level.
