L'anello di Policrate e la lira di Arione: a proposito di sovrano e aedo nel nuovo Posidippo (Epigr. 9 e 37 A.-B.)

Abstract

The lyre and the seal are pregnant symbols of an ancient, noble tradition which Posidippus recalls focusing on Politics and Poetics in Ptolemaic egypt. Both of them concern the poet's hope and aim, and once more contribute to "seal" a particular kind of Poetry by using a selected, literary lexis.
