Observaciones y contexto

Praxilla, Erinna, Myrtis, Anyte, Telesilla, Nossis and Corinna, among others, were famous enough to have statues erected in their honour. (Tat. Oratio ad Graecos, 33). Other authors mention these poetesses and others by citing their works or their fame (Eust., Comm. ad Hom. Iliad. B 711, v. 1 - 510.4; Clem. Alex. Strom. IV 19 122 4). 

The amount of poetesses chosen by Antipater is not by chance: there were nine muses and nine male lyrical poets in the canon. Here lies the originality of this feminine "canon" created at the end of the 1st century BC or at the beginning of the 1st century DC. Each canon is presented as a harmoniously structured unit. However, unlike the others, this is not a canon based on literary genre, but on the gender of its authors. In that sense, this epigram answers the Alexandrine canon of nine lyrical poets by offering an alternative one formed by authors of the opposite gender, whose works tackled different (literary) genres.

This activity is in relation to each and every one of the nine poetesses. It has been thought fort the 1st year of ESO, but this does not mean that it cannot be used in other levels in the subject of Classical Culture, in the same block of contents, if the teacher considers so.

Descripción

This activity focuses on situating geographically the places of origin of the lyrical poetesses that belong to the feminine "canon" as well as their timeline. Reading texts, selecting information and situating them in time and space.
