An author’s ‘mihi paenitet’

Le ‘mihi paenitet’ d’un auteur
Il “mihi paenitet” di un autore
Benjamin Acosta-Hughes

Texte intégral

1“On p. XIII of the preface of my collected papers published by De Gruyter in 2024, The Laurel and the Olive (https://www.degruyter.com/​document/​doi/​10.1515/​9783110787672/​html?lang=en&srsltid=AfmBOoqdlAXsd8N21PlOIJ7Nit5rTy01mg4FqWYfI7hnaBMCWupwW5iN).

2I discuss Callimachus’ Ep. 51 Pf. and write the following:

“Many years ago, in the context of a Groningen Hellenistic Poetry Workshop luncheon, I suggested that this poem might be meant as a quasi-humorous comment on the completion of the Aetia, the Four Graces being the four books of the poem (the Charites as poetry is a term familiar already from Simonides).”

3I realize now with regret that this phrasing may be taken inadvertently to imply that Andrej and Ivana Petrovic’s paper “Stop and Smell the Statues: Callimachus’ Epigram 51 Pf. Reconsidered (Four Times)” published in Materiali e discussioni per l'analisi dei testi classici, No. 51 (2003), pp. 179–208, and arguing this point in detail, was based on my idea. This was never my intention, and I apologize for any distress I have caused.
