SANSONE E IL LEONE DI TIMNA: IUD. 14, 1!10 NELLA RISCRITTURA ESAMETRICA DEL POETA DELL’HEPTATEUCHOS "IUD. 538!59#*
Abstract
In the poetic re-writing of Judges 14, 1-10 (the "ght of Samson against Timnah’s
lion), the Heptateuch poet (iud. 538-59) faithfully follows the content of the biblical text. As far
as the formal aspect is concerned, the analysis of this periscope highlights the closeness of the
paraphrase to classical models, especially to Virgil. $e poet also uses patristic texts (Ambrose
of Milan’s De Spiritu Sancto and Epistle 9, 62), which serve as parallel sources in order to
integrate the narrative system without any exegetic purpose.
