The aim of this paper is to analyze Plutarch's discussion of the different kinds of ancient dance and their meaning in the Table Talk. Besides a large section from Book 9 (question 15), all of it concerning the parts of dance and their relation to poetry, we focus on those other moments where different rhythms of dance are discussed. Looking beyond the Plutarchan material, we search for the implications of this subject in terms of philanthropia and moderation, concepts extremely important in all nine books of the Table Talk.

Pretendemos, com este artigo, analisar os epítetos poéticos mais significativos formados a partir do termo ἴον ("violeta"), a saber: ἰοδνεφής, ἰοειδής, ἰόεις, ἰοβλέφαρος, ἰογλέφαρος, ἰανόφρυς, ἰόπλοκος, ἰοπλόκαμος, ἰόκολπος, ἰόζωνος, ἰόγληνος, ἰοστέφανος. Centrando-nos na poesia grega, nas suas diversas modalidades, da épica homérica ao período helenístico, tentaremos chegar às conclusões possíveis no que toca aos sentidos da flor e da cor comummente a ela associada, quando usada nesses compostos poéticos.

Our paper aims to take a closer look at a collection of epigrams extracted from the Planudean, one of the several epigrammatic collections that, as far as we know, have not yet received the independent and particular attention we think it deserves. They are 26 epigrams on Homer and his two main poems copied in Matr. 4629 (ff. 177v-180r = Mt), twelve of them once again copied in Matr. 4562 (ff. 110r-111r = M), whose possible manuscript sources are to be investigated, as well as the possible connections to the editio princeps of the Planudea (1494). Keywords: Greek Anthology, Planudean Anthology, Constantinus Lascaris, Homer, manuscripts. RESUMENNuestro trabajo intenta realizar un estudio más detallado de una colección de epigramas de la Antologia Planudea que, por lo que sabemos, no ha recibido todavía la atención que, creemos, merece. Se trata de 26 epigramas sobre Homero y sus dos poemas, copiados en el Matr. 4629 (ff. 177v-180r =Mt), de los cuales 12 aparecen también copiados en el Matr. 4562 (ff. 110r-111r = M). Se plantearán posibilidades en cuanto a sus fuentes manuscritas, así como sus posibles relaciones con la editio princeps de la Planudea (1494).
