Cet article examine la preuve qui a servi ` a d´ emontrer l’hypoth` ese de l’existence d’une “tradition po´ etique f´ eminine” dans la po´ esie grecque, les fondements th´ eoriques des divers mod` eles qui ont ´ et´ e apport´ es ` a l’appui d’une telle tradition et la mani` ere dont ceux-ci ont ´ et´ e utilis´ es dans la critique des vestiges de la po´ esie des auteurs f´ eminins. what counts as the DEMOS?somenotesontherelationship betweenthejuryandthepeopleinclassicalathens AlastairBlanshard This paper examines the relationship between the Athenian jury and the Athenian demos . It concludes that traditional ways of defining this relationship are too rigid and do not provide an adequate explanation for the variety of formulations found in our literary, philosophic and epigraphic sources. A more flexible approach is required. Comparative material is provided to illustrate both the provisional nature of beliefs about the jury and the sociological utility of a lack of consensus about jury identity. Cet article analyse la relation entre le jury et le demos ath´ eniens. Il montre que les mani` eres traditionelles de d´ efinir cette relation sont trop rigides et ne proposent pas d’explication appropri´ ee pour les expressions diverses que l’on trouve dans nos sources litt´ eraires, philosophiques, et ´ epigraphiques. Il convient d’adopter une approche plus flexible. Le mat ´ eriel comparatif propos´ e permet d’illustrer ` a la fois le caract ` ere non d´ efinitif des opinions sur le jury et l’utilit´ e sociologique d’un manque de concensus sur son identit´ e. “UT NON [FORMA]CYGNORUM, SIC ALBIS PROXIMA CYGNIS”: swanimageryinovid's METAMORPHOSES SophiaPapaioannou The prominence of the swan imagery in Ovid’s M etamorphoses , marked by the unique inclusion of three different aetiologies and no less than six occurrences in the epic, is part of an ingenious commentary on literary issues, in particular literary imitation and independence, and the anxiety over artistic acknowledgment. Inspired by the association of the swan with artistic excellence, Ovid finds in the elusive symbolism of the bird a convenient image with which to identify his own poetry. L’image du cygne dans Les M ´ etamorphoses d’Ovide a une importance unique: en font preuve les trois ´ etiologies diff´ erentes qui y portent ainsi que le fait que le motif est PHOENIX,VOL. 58 (2004) 1–2. 190
