Agathyllus
(102 words)
[German version] (Ἀγάθυλλος;
Agáthyllos). A Hellenistic writer of elegies, from Arcadia; Dion. Hal. 1,49,1 (= SH 15) has transmitted somewhat more than three of his verses. According to the version of the myth discernible here, Aeneas stops in Arcadia on his journey from Troy before reaching ‘Hesperia’, where he fathers Romulus. A. is also quoted as the source for the tradition, going back to Hegesianax of Alexandria (FGrH 45 F 9-10), of Rome's founding by Ῥῶμος (= Remus), who in this tradition is, like Romulus, a son of Aeneas (Dion…

Phanocles
(325 words)
[German version] (Φανοκλῆς;
Phanoklȇs). Early Hellenistic elegist, author of a poem entitled Ἔρωτες ἢ καλοί (
Érōtes ḕ kaloí/'Amours, or the Fair Youths'; fr. 1-6 Powell) which recounted the homosexual liaisons of gods and mythical heroes. The poem resembled a register (Catalogue) similar to Hesiod’s
Catalogue of Women (Hesiodus). P. is probably also influenced by the
Leontion of Hermesianax, with whom he shares a penchant for placing adjectives and nouns forming a juncture before the caesura and at the end of the pentameter, respectively. The longest fragment (1 Powell) contains the story of Orpheus, who is killed by jealous Thracian women for teaching their husbands pederasty. His head, nailed to a cithara and thrown into the sea, is carried by the waves as far as Lesbos where it is interred. This tale provides the poet with the starting-point for two
aítia: the flourishing of lyric poetry specifically on Lesbos, and the explanation of the Thracian women’s tattoos as a reminder of their punishment for killing Orpheus. His preference for…
