Commonplace and inversion in Greek lyric poetry
Abstract
In this article we translate and analyse ten erotic poems extracted from Five Book of Greek Anthology. These poems show three topics or commonplaces – the threat prophecy, the gloading over fulfillment and the compliment of old women – and in our analyses we focus on relationship between them and the innovation processes in Greek lyric poetry.
