Genesis of an anomie: notes on the aretalogy of Maroneia
Abstract
The Isiac Aretalogy of Maroneia (I. Thrake Aeg. E 205) is a prose hymn inscribed on stone and addressed to Isis. Scholars have often questioned the identity of the author and it is commonly accepted that he was a professional rhetorician active between the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 1st century BC, when the inscription can be paleographically dated. After exploring the limits of these thesis, Ι will focus on the analysis of part of the local Isiac epigraphic documentation. This approach seeks to privilege the delineation of the specific socio-cultural environment, so as to look not for an author of the text as for its context of origin. I will use a recently theorized methodological paradigm in which the Isiac Aretalogies are conceived as an example of codification or canonization.
