Abstract
Chapter 15 acts as a connecting link between the last two parts, since, by taking as its case study Zeus’ love affair with Danae, it investigates the diachronic usage, in epigrams, of mythological burlesque for mockery turned against human and divine targets. After exploring the use of burlesque in mythological comedies that lampooned Zeus’ affair with Danae, the chapter turns to examine the adaptation of the myth and the refiguration of relevant techniques and motifs in the work of the epigrammatists. The analysis of selected poems reveals the skoptic dimension of epigrams categorized as erotic. The chapter finds that no hermeneutically sealed boundaries existed between the two subgenres.
