	Epithalamium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epithalamium (from Greek; epi- upon, and thalamium nuptial chamber, sometimes also spelled "epithalamion") specifically refers to a form of poem that is written for the bride.
		Sappho, Anacreon, Stesichorus and Pindar are all regarded as masters of the species, but the finest example preserved in Greek literature is the 18th Idyll of Theocritus, which celebrates the marriage of Menelaus and Helen.
		In Latin, the epithalamium, imitated from Fescennine Greek models, was a base form of literature, when Catullus redeemed it and gave it dignity by modelling his Marriage of Thetis and Peleus on a lost ode of Sappho.

		In the epithalamium, Hymen’s role is substantially reduced, together with the importance of the deductio domum, and the attention shifts to Venus and Cupid.
		In his epithalamium in honor of the imperial couple, Claudian re-establishes the link between Hymen and the deductio domum, but appears to be content with a modest reference to Venus’ appeal to the god to light the processional torches to signal the start of the ceremony (Carm.
		In Claudian’s epithalamium to the imperial couple, on the other hand, the reference to an heir, coming as it does after the lengthy encomium on the bride’s father, Stilicho, is extremely brief (two lines out of 341!) and little more than a mere afterthought (Carm.

	Penella: Himerius and Choricius on Student Bridegrooms: An Unnoticed Variety of Epithalamium
		When the motif is presented as criticism it is especially interesting, because this seems to break the rule that a panegyrical epithalamium should contain no criticism; but this "criticism" may not have been intended seriously.
		I suggest that this motif marked a subtype of epithalamium that was common, despite the survival of only a few examples: if geography was not an obstacle, it would have made good sense, for several reasons, for parents to invite their son's sophist to speak at his wedding.
		Two fundamental upper class concerns, a good education and a good marriage for their sons, will have been brought together in the scene of the sophist delivering an epithalamium for his student: the teacher, the academic "father" of his student, who initiated him in paideia, now also "blesses" his marriage.

	Broadside entitled 'Epithalamium'
		Epithalamiums were popular in the classical period and so were revived during the seventeenth century but with more of a pastoral twist.
		As a result, epithalamium from this period should feature nymphs, shepherds and the appropriate gods and goddesses.
		Although many of the people are now lost to researchers, their stories offer a valuable insight into many aspects of the society they were published in.

		In a sense the composition may be viewed as a seventeenth-century revival, in visual form, of the Roman tradition of the epithalamium (bawdy verse) which accompanied the bridal procession into the nuptial chamber.
		In antiquity, epithalamiums were written by bards such as Pindar, Sappho, and Catullus.

		Each of these discussions is in a sense independent of the others, but they exhibit a theme common to all these texts -- and, indeed, to much of Alexandrian poetry --, the use of archaic literary models.
		The Epithalamium for Helen, with its debts to archaic epithalamium, involves the consideration of the changes in the nature of song from archaic times to Alexandria (musical virtuosity as well as the separation of words and music).
		The pederastic poems provide the occasion for a complex analysis of poetic self-deception, parody, and the changes of erotic conventions between archaic poetry, particularly Theognis, and the Hellenistic age.

	Marriage, celibacy, and ritual in Robert Herrick's 'Hesperides.'
		Dubrow argues that the epithalamium was an especially significant genre during the social upheaval of the Stuart period: marriage was anxiously viewed as "a source and a symbol of an orderly and harmonious society,"(8) and the epithalamium allowed poets both to explore and allay contemporary fears of social instability.
		Moreover, in choosing the Southwell poem as the first epithalamium of his book, Herrick casts an ironic light on the confident pronouncements of the stage-managers of the marriage poems which appear later in the volume.
		In the Crew epithalamium, Herrick similarly depicts the reluctant bride as surrounded by lamenting female attendants.

		The contents of this Psalm are generally summed up thus: The majesty and grace of Christ's kingdom; or an epithalamium of Jesus Christ and the Christian Church; the duty of this Church, and its privileges.
		I believe it to be an epithalamium, or nuptial song, which primarily respected Solomon's marriage with the daughter of Pharaoh; and that it probably has a prophetic reference to the conversion of the Gentiles, and the final aggrandizement of the Christian Church.
		As this is a regular epithalamium, we are to consider that the bride and bridegroom have compliments paid them by those called the friends of the bridegroom, and the companions or maids of the bride.

		Silvae 1.2, celebrating L. Arruntius Stella’s marriage to Violentilla, demands the epithalamium genre (Nauta 2002; Hardie 1983), Statius exploits the genre’s underlying elegiac potential with a complex intertwining of elegy proper; in particular, he reformulates the required epithalamial
		This apparent incongruity, however, is reconciled when we recall that Stella is a professional elegiac poet whose poems on Violentilla (i.e., Ianthis, Asteris) seem to have been well known in Rome (Martial
		Thus, Violentilla’s two idealized portraits are not at odds; the one conforms to the immediate occasion and the requirements of the epithalamium; the other echoes her elegiac role in Stella’s real-life literary activity, and thus, through literary mimesis, fulfills Statius’ primary purpose of distinguishing his addressee’s elegiac expertise.

		The presentation of nature in the work not only responds to an aesthetic and literary interest, but when linked with the technique of contrast, to the need to find an adequate means to criticize courtly life in general and Spain's transatlantic adventure in particular.
		Thomas Deveny's paper, “The Pastoral and the Epithalamium,” sheds much light on the relationship between the pastoral and the epithalamium during the Spanish Golden Age.
		In the Spanish Golden Age, the inclusion of epithalamia in the larger narrative context of the pastoral romance not only provides each poem with unique characteristics not normally found in historical wedding songs, but it also underscores the link between the pastoral and the epithalamium.
