Abstract

Two decrees, respectively coming from Oropos and Delos honoring Amphikles son of Philoxenos, allow us to take a peak of the artistic iter of one of the most representative figures among the poeti vaganti of the Hellenistic Period. The inscriptions propose first of all the issue of the provenance of this artist, indicated as a Delian in Oropos and as a citizen of Renea in Delos. Aside the numerous  κροάσεις delivered in both places, Amphikles is charged on the sacred island with composing a prosodion for the gods and the Athenians. He will also teach the sons of citizens to execute the new composition. The Delian decree particularly gives us the chance to speculate on the lexicon adopted and the context of execution of the pièce. Moreover, it describes a multi-talented artist putting his poetic and musical expertise and professionalism to use in public life. At the beginning of the Second Athenian Domination on the island, the artistic activity of Amphikles can be framed within a context of propaganda which seems to have been realized through the choice of performance’s occasion and the will to shape a collective memory with the help of the poetic tradition.
