Prognostication in the Medieval World, 2020
Late Antiquity, the period of transition between the pagan Hellenistic period and the Christian M... more Late Antiquity, the period of transition between the pagan Hellenistic period and the Christian Middle Ages, (third to fourth century) was correctly-though not without pathos-termed "an age of anxiety" (Dodds 1995). Not by accident, this epoch was characterized by contradictory intellectual currents and social insecurity, which led to an immense diffusion of all of the artes ("arts"), which since almost time immemorial have promised to illuminate the unknown future for people of all classes, when faced with uncertainty. The fact that both the victorious Christianity as well as the imperial power that claimed the sovereignty of interpretation over the present and future for themselves and, albeit for contrary reasons and through different means, wished to drive out every way of fortune-telling, could not harm the popularity of such practices. An eloquent witness to this is the juridical, philosophical, historical and apologetic literature of that period (Fögen 1993), but also the fictional literature, which had always been legitimized to create its own realities, was not unaffected by the general zeitgeist. Quite the contrary. Nothing embodies the uncertainty of that time better than the hero of the love and adventure novel, a literary creation of late Hellenism/early imperial times that, after moderate, in a sense sub-literary beginnings, developed during that period considerable refinement in style and narrative technique (Hägg 1971 and Fusillo 2016, 26-32). Exposed to the arbitrariness of a moody Tyche (Fortuna) and of the relentless fate (Moira) and wrested from the feeling of security in their homeland, the heroes of the novel wander throughout the Mediterranean world toward an uncertain future. However, they are not completely left alone, for their straying is guided by the gods who, by expressing prophecies and above all by showing dreams, provide insights into both the near and distant future and offer solace to them repeatedly. To use Kleitophon's words, the protagonist in the novel of Achilleus Tatios (second century): "Often the Daimonion tends to tell people the future at nighttime, not with the aim of preventing them from suffering-for they do not have the ability to rule over fatebut so that they might bear their sufferings more easily" (Achilleus Tatios, Leucippe and Clitophon, ed. Vilborg, I 3.2). Accordingly, the author often allows his heroes of the night to dream. However, the non-expert heroes do not know how to interpret the-always encoded-message of the gods contained in the dream (Achilleus Tatios,

The survey is introduced by a general discussion of translation in the Middle Ages—which allowed for many forms of adaptation, including expansion, abridgment, and the complete rewriting of a given model—and the socio-political contexts and contact zones in which such translation activity took place in Byzantium, the dominant culture being always the giver and the dominated the receiver.
