The paper suggests that the dorism τεθμός, found in some epigraphical oracles from the sanctuary of Klaros, represents a relevant proof of the relationships between Callimachus’ oeuvre and the oracular poetry from Klaros. This conclusion is based on the scrutiny of the literary and epigraphical occurrences of τεθμός/θεσμός from the classical era up to the imperial age, with particular emphasis on the semantic evolution of the word up to the Hellenistic age. The systematic employ of this gloss cannot but derive from the importance attached to it by Callimachus in his works. |
