Cristianizzazione del lessico funerario e del linguaggio epico nella risurrezione di Lazzaro (Cometa, Anth. Pal. 15.40)

Abstract

This paper offers an analysis of the epigram composed by Cometas for the resurrection of Lazarus (Anth. Pal. 15.40) and its relationship with funerary and epic models, showing how the traditional language of grief and divinity is transformed by the Christian faith. The text contains many expressions that can be compared with epigrammatic language and variations of Homeric verses and formulae, particularly in the description of Christ, where Usurpation and Kontrastimitation can be identified.
