    Annotation:

    In epigram AP 7.646 by Anyte there have been detected echoes of an Aeschylean passage: Ag. 1551-1559. In this paper we review these formal coincidences and, mainly, we examine the parallels and divergences in theme and tone between these texts. In each one of them the untimely death of a daughter before her father's is presented with pathos, but while Erato in the epigram bids him farewell with affection, Klytaimnestra's prediction of the warm welcome that Iphigenia will give to Agamemnon in Hades is absolutely ironic. This contrast entails that the reference to the tragedy and, through it, to Homer, is not merely a display of erudition. On the contrary: Anyte reinforces, by means of a deft counterpoint towards her model, the emotionality and authenticity of the feelings transmitted by her epigram.
