The ascertained links Phoenix-Posidippus (P.Heid. inv. 310) and Posidippus-Lynceus (Athen. 14, 652c) lead to a possible further connection Lynceus-Phoenix, which would be consistent with the attribution to Phoenix of the choliambic adespoton in memory of Lynceus (on the back of P.Strasb. W.G. 307). Through Lynceus, the possible connection of this small circle to his brother Douris, and in general to the wider circle of the cultural diplomacy operating between Athens and Alexandria in the third century B.C., comes into focus.

Abstract
The ascertained links Phoenix-Posidippus (P.Heid. inv. 310) and Posidippus-Lynceus (Athen. 14, 652c) lead to a possible further connection Lynceus-Phoenix, which would be consistent with the attribution to Phoenix of the choliambic adespoton in memory of Lynceus (on the back of P.Strasb. W.G. 307). Through Lynceus, the possible connection of this small circle to his brother Douris, and in general to the wider circle of the cultural diplomacy operating between Athens and Alexandria in the third century B.C., comes into focus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
