Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung (Englisch)
The present paper deals with language and style in Antonius Diogenes’ The Wonders Beyond Thule. After selecting the fragments of direct tradition that can be attributed to the Ἄπιcτα with a reasonable degree of certainty and the fragments of indirect tradition that can be considered literal quotations from this work, the article analyses them by focusing on a series of features (phonetics, morphology, word-order, structure of periods, temporal consistency, coordination, ellipses, vocabulary). The results of this analysis are compared with Photius’ remarks on Antonius Diogenes’ language and style and with the evidence provided by the surviving papyri on the audience of the novel.
