Abstract
Abstract In this paper I try to demonstrate that Callimachusʼ commemorative poem in honour of the deceased queen Arsinoe II capitalizes heavily on the notorious Hellenistic penchant for verbal puns. In addition, it will be argued that etymologic and anagrammatic devices are not only contrived for their own sake, but are part and parcel of the poemʼs meaning contributing to its poetic and ideological agenda.
期刊介绍:
The Archiv für Papyrusforschung (APF) (Archive for Papyrus Research) – founded in 1901 by Ulrich Wilcken – is the oldest specialised papyrus studies journal in the world. Nowadays, the APF differs from other journals specializing in papyrus studies, on account of its papers (literary papyri, Christian texts, papers on documents, judicial articles, Coptic texts and documents, demotica, interpretations and resources).
