Overview

Das vorliegende Buch bietet eine eingehende Analyse der Episode um den Satyrn und Dionysos-Liebling Ampelos, die Nonnos von Panopolis (5. Jh. n.Chr.) in den Büchern zehn, elf und zwölf der Dionysiaka, dem letzten griechischen Epos der Antike, aufspannt. Im Charakterprofil seiner Ampelos-Figur, in deren Todesschicksal und Verwandlung in den Weinstock, spiegelt der Autor sein poetisches Konzept, das zugleich mit der Rückbesinnung auf jahrhundertelang tradierte Kultur- und Erzählformen einer neuen, dionysischen Formensprache verpflichtet ist. Die sprachlichen, stilistischen und kompositionellen Eigenheiten, die kreative Auseinandersetzung mit Dichtern wie Homer oder den Hellenisten, die Übernahme von rhetorischen Techniken und überkommenen poetischen Motiven sowie das gelehrte Spiel mit traditionellen Genera arbeiten auf das narrative Ziel der Ampelos-Episode hin: die Ausstattung des Dionysos mit seinem wichtigsten Attribut, dem Wein. Ampelos ist somit nicht nur Voraussetzung für zahlreiche Narrative in den Büchern 13 bis 48 der Dionysiaka, sondern wird zur Schlüsselfigur im poetischen Dialog der Spätantike und zum Kumulationspunkt des hellenischen Synkretismus des östlichen Mittelmeerraums.

"""The book is complete with an impressive bibliography and a very useful index locorum and general index which allow its reader to quickly find information and further references on virtually any important topic in scholarship on the Dionysiaca. Its clever combination of a very wide scope (in terms of different approaches, but also in terms of the Dionysiaca as a whole and in terms of its use of earlier scholarship) and a manageable focus on an indeed fascinating episode, makes this beautifully edited book into a potential work of reference for future scholarship on Nonnus."" Berenice Verhelst in: Plekos 20, 2018, 219-225 ""La ricca e ragionata bibliografia è seguita da utili indici che rendono agevole la consultazione di questa bella monografia di K[röll]., un contributo davvero importante per lo studio di uno degli episodi centrali del poema nonniano. Il libro nel complesso, tralasciando alcune sviste veniali, è accurato."" Domenico Accorinti in: Anzeiger für die Altertumswissenschaft, LXIX. Band, Juli/Oktober 2016, 3./4. Heft: 225-232"
