Blossius Aemilius Dracontius fu un poeta cristiano di Cartagine la cui opera fiorì nella parte finale del V secolo. Proveniente da una famiglia di proprietari terrieri e praticante come avvocato, la sua poesia approfondiva spesso temi spirituali e morali, intrisa di una profonda fede cristiana. Le sue opere riflettono un'esplorazione personale delle avversità e la ricerca della riconciliazione, caratteristica della sua epoca turbolenta. L'approccio letterario di Dracontius offre uno spaccato avvincente sull'intersezione tra fede, legge e resilienza personale nella tarda antichità.

The new critical edition of Carmina Profana by Dracontius (approx. 480–510 CE) in the Bibliotheca Teubneriana replaces F. Vollmer’s 1914 edition (PLM Vol. 5, P. 108–237). Numerous textual improvements cast a new light on the poetic works. They offer insight on the late bloom of Carthagean culture during Vandal rule. Of particular interest are the idiosyncratically formed short epics, Hylas, Helena, Medea, and Orestes.
De raptu Helenae

An der Schwelle vom 5. zum 6. Jahrhundert prägte der Anwalt und Dichter Dracontius die literarische Landschaft im vandalischen Nordafrika. Er verfasste sowohl christliche als auch kleinere profane Gedichte verschiedenster Gattungen, teils mythologischen Inhalts. Dieses Nebeneinander von christlichem und traditionell paganem Dichten macht Dracontius zu einem besonders interessanten Forschungsgegenstand. Herausragende Stücke sind seine Epyllia – eine dichterische Form, die im vandalischen Afrika wohl einen besonderen Höhepunkt erreichte, heute jedoch beinahe ausschließlich durch Dracontiusˈ Dichtungen repräsentiert wird. Der Raptus Helenae ist das wahrscheinlich am deutlichsten in der Tradition des Epos stehende Werk des Dichters. Katharina Pohl legt mit diesem Band einen Kommentar dieses letzten bisher unkommentiert gebliebenen Epyllions vor. Neben der detaillierten philologischen Erschließung des 655 Verse umfassenden Gedichts bietet der Band zudem erstmals eine deutsche Übersetzung, eine Edition auf der Grundlage des codex unicus N sowie eine Gesamtinterpretation.
