En el laboratorio de Calímaco: metaliteratura y mitopóiesis en el Himno a Zeus

Abstract

This article intends to prove to what extent Callimachus' Hymn to Zeus is a programatic poem (as Aeita's Prologue and Epilog and lambi I and XIII) and to analyze the means used by the poet to exhibit his program ("metaliterature" and "performance"), the narrative (mythopoetic) contents selected to achieve his aim and the semic-symbolic system constructed to express metaphorically, from within the ποίημα, this performance of his ποιεῖν. Results obtained are confronted to the "metaliterary" assertions of the Hymn to Apollo (vv. 105-113).
