In this paper I shall argue that Theocritus’ aim in Idyll 10 (in fact, in all of his Idylls) was to achieve the mimesis of a mimesis: to re-present a work of art, i.e. an act of mimesis – or more than one. I should term this kind of practice (ποίησις) a meta-mimesis: Theocritus shared it with several other Alexandrian poets of his time, all of them engaged in a reflection about art which was at heart and by nature a deeply philosophical one, though variously masqueraded and resolved into new art

Abstract
In this paper I shall argue that Theocritus’ aim in Idyll 10 (in fact, in all of his Idylls) was to achieve the mimesis of a mimesis: to re-present a work of art, i.e. an act of mimesis – or more than one. I should term this kind of practice (ποίησις) a meta-mimesis: Theocritus shared it with several other Alexandrian poets of his time, all of them engaged in a reflection about art which was at heart and by nature a deeply philosophical one, though variously masqueraded and resolved into new art| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
