Dionysiaca, Hellenistic Poetry, epic poetry, Theocritus, Nonnus of PanopolisAbstract
The Bucolic Hellenistic poetry, present in the Idylls of Theocritus, narrates the romantic failures in a rustic environment, and Nonnus imitates the characteristics of this type of poetry in Dionysiaca’s XV book. The present article aims to establish the emulated passages of the Idylls I, III, VII, XI and XXX in the Dionysiaca, and to analyze the themes, structures and formulas that Nonnus uses from the Hellenistic poet to compose his work. In this way, it was possible to determine how Bucolic poetry influences love in Nonnus’ epic poetry and is one of the elements assimilated to form the ποικιλία represented in Dionysiaca.
