Resumen
The author examines the unusual epic poem by Nonnus from Panopolis. He first informs about Nonnus' live , at the Vth century a.C. Then he analyses metrics, subjects and structure of the poem. The author concludes that there is a kind of Dionysos manía in all late epic poets. Nonnus, himself underlines Dionisos character from the very beginning of his poem. Inspiration has been given to Nonnus by Homer, Calimachus and several latin poets: Ovid, Claudianus and Nemesianus. The neohelenic poet K. Kavafis admired Nonnus' work.
