description This paper aims to discuss Dioscorides’ cycle of epigrams about the dramatic poets, focusing on his three poems about the tragic poets. Through the three funerary epigrams on Thespis (20 GP), Aeschylus (21 GP) and Sophocles (22 GP), the epigrammatist presents in an allusive and extremely concise manner a story of the tragic genre from its origins in a rural environment to its peak reached with the work of Sophocles. This paper comments on how this panorama sketched by the epigrams of Dioscorides was influenced by the discussions developed in Antiquity concerning the history of tragedy.
