The aim of the present essay is to study the ways in which the phrase ἀμφότερον μάντιν τε ἀγαθὸν καὶ δορὶ μάχεσθαι (“good both as a seer and as a fighter with the spear”), apparently first attested in the cyclic Thebaid, is adapted and reworked in two poetic productions.

| Sumario: | The aim of the present essay is to study the ways in which the phrase ἀμφότερον μάντιν τε ἀγαθὸν καὶ δορὶ μάχεσθαι (“good both as a seer and as a fighter with the spear”), apparently first attested in the cyclic Thebaid, is adapted and reworked in two poetic productions. The first is Pindar’s Olympian 6 and the second is epigram number 519 from the Carmina Epigraphica Graeca (CEG) edited by Hansen. I will analyze the poetic adaptation of the phrase to the goals and compositional procedures displayed by both productions, considering, at the same time, the wider historical and socio-cultural frame that surrounds them. I will also highlight the importance of the (re)-performance phenomenon in order to transmit the fame (κλέος) of the laudandus or the deceased through the deployment of the phrase mentioned above. |
