초록
Associated with everyday life, plants figure in every aspect of it in ancient Greece. Their use varies: in food, in medicine, in religious practices, or even in decoration. As expected, the relation between plants and ordinary life is depicted in literary production. Almost all ancient texts deal with plants in different contexts and for various purposes; but the first specialised enquiries regarding the nature and uses of plants come from Aristotle’s pupil, Theophrastus of Eresus. For Hellenistic paradoxography, vegetal curiosities aim mostly at provoking a sense of wonderment, but they are always in connection with animals and humans. The present paper intends to examine the role of vegetal paradoxa in paradoxography and, mainly, in pseudo-Antigonus’ Collection of extraordinary stories. As this text is characterised by a thematic compilation, vegetal paradoxa seem, at first, incoherent with the rest of the chapters because there is no clearly delimited section dealing with plants. However, after a closer and more attentive inspection, the writing practices employed by the author assure the strong connection between vegetal paradoxa and the rest of the content.
Abstract
Associated with everyday life, plants figure in every aspect of it in ancient Greece. Their use varies: in food, in medicine, in religious practices, or even in decoration. As expected, the relation between plants and ordinary life is depicted in literary production. Almost all ancient texts deal with plants in different contexts and for various purposes; but the first specialised enquiries regarding the nature and uses of plants come from Aristotle’s pupil, Theophrastus of Eresus. For Hellenistic paradoxography, vegetal curiosities aim mostly at provoking a sense of wonderment, but they are always in connection with animals and humans. The present paper intends to examine the role of vegetal paradoxa in paradoxography and, mainly, in pseudo-Antigonus’ Collection of extraordinary stories. As this text is characterised by a thematic compilation, vegetal paradoxa seem, at first, incoherent with the rest of the chapters because there is no clearly delimited section dealing with plants. However, after a closer and more attentive inspection, the writing practices employed by the author assure the strong connection between vegetal paradoxa and the rest of the content.
