Abstract
Entre el abundante material exegético del
texto homérico que los papiros y otros tipos
de soporte escriturario transmiten, reflejo
de aquellos papiros que en muchísimo
mayor número transmiten porciones del
propio texto, un lugar muy significativo
ocupan las paráfrasis o versiones homéricas
en prosa de su propia época, distintas
de los llamados scholia minora y de las
hypotheseis, y de las cuales se echaba en
falta un estudio de conjunto. Las muestras
aquí reunidas se distribuyen a lo largo de
un lapso de tiempo que va al menos del s.
I al VI-VII d. C., ilustran los diversos métodos
de la paráfrasis llamada gramatical
(versión a partir de glosas) y de la paráfrasis
de tipo retorizante, unas y otras muestras
pertenecen en gran parte al ámbito escolar
o bien están destinadas a un público más
amplio, y adoptan distintas modalidades de
ejecución y distintos formatos en su afán
de hacer llegar el texto del poeta por excelencia
a lectores cada vez menos eruditos.
Among the abundant exegetic material on the Homeric text which has been transmitted on papyri and similar materials –a reflection of those which in a considerably higher number convey Homeric passages– paraphrases or prose versions of the Homeric text take a very significant place. This is a different genre from the so-called scholia minora or the hypotheseis, and it has not yet been comprehensively studied. The items which I gather here range at least from the first to the seventh century AD and illustrate different methods of the so-called grammatical paraphrasis (taking glossae as its starting point) and the rhetorical paraphrasis, both closely related to the school or aimed at a wider public. Different forms and patterns are chosen to bring the text of the poet par excellence closer to readers who are less and less learned as time passes by.
