The Egyptian Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century AD), author of both the ‘pagan’ Dionysiaca, the longest known poem from Antiquity (21,286 lines in 48 books, the same number of books as the Iliad and Odyssey combined), and a ‘Christian’ hexameter Paraphrase of St John’s Gospel (3,660 lines in 21 books), is no doubt the most representative poet of Greek Late Antiquity. Brill’s Companion to Nonnus of Panopolis provides a collection of 32 essays by a large international group of scholars, experts in the field of archaic, Hellenistic, Imperial, and Christian poetry, as well as scholars of late antique Egypt, Greek mythology and religion, who explore the various aspects of Nonnus’ baroque poetry and its historical, religious and cultural background.

''In scope, scale and breath, Accorinti and his team deserve plaudits: the project has more than achieved its aim of providing a wide-ranging reference work for scholars of Nonnus and Late Antiquity. The expertise of the collaborators is apparent at every turn of the page; so too is the enthusiasm. Well presented with very few spelling or typographical errors, it will become an undoubtedly useful handbook for all future readers who come to ask the poet their questions.''
