Klappentext
Hellenistic poetry might surprise you. Don't be fooled by its witty verses laughter here serves a deeper purpose. It's the "Laughter of Wisdom," where humor and philosophy intertwine. Imagine a poem poking fun at a pompous character. This playful jab could be a subtle lesson, reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously a core tenet of Stoic philosophy. Epicureans, who valued joy, might use humor to lighten the mood and encourage a carefree spirit. By deciphering the laughter in these poems, we gain a richer understanding of the poet's message. It's like a hidden melody woven into the humor, reflecting the philosophical currents of the time. So, the next time you encounter a chuckle-worthy line, remember it might hold the key to unlocking a deeper wisdom.Anmerkungen:
