| Sumario: | This article aims to analyze the images elaborated by the archaic melic poet Anacreon (active in c. 550 BCE) in the representation of the god Eros and of the erotic experience in 14 of his fragments, given the author’s outstanding relevance in the tradition and also in the poetic genre in which such themes are most notably and recurrently found in Ancient Greek. By doing so, the article intends to highlight, commenting on them, the elements that are characteristic of the erotic language as worked by the poet, whose songs are essentially symposiastic and relate in different ways – and with different purposes – to various and important aspects of archaic Greek society. |
