Abstract
ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the presence of elements of invective (ψόγος) in the «Dionysiaca» by Nonnus of Panopolis, who follows in general terms the structure of the βασιλικὸς λόγος or imperial encomium. It contends that Nonnus uses invective to balance the panegyric and mock the genre in which he works.
