%X L¡¯Hymne ¨¤ D¨¦los de Callimaque pr¨¦sente l¡¯une des descriptions les plus ¨¦tonnantes de l¡¯Antiquit¨¦ d¡¯un paysage personnifi¨¦. Cet article s¡¯attache ¨¤ deux aspects de la repr¨¦sentation pour ainsi dire surr¨¦aliste de Callimaque. Premi¨¨rement, j¡¯¨¦tudie de mani¨¨re assez d¨¦taill¨¦e les conventions et les concepts de la po¨¦sie ant¨¦rieure que Callimaque utilise et d¨¦tourne pour cr¨¦er sa propre image d¡¯un paysage mouvant et anim¨¦. Je m¡¯int¨¦resse en particulier aux personnifications des ¨¦l¨¦ments g¨¦ographiques et aux expressions m¨¦taphoriques ou m¨¦tonymiques que l¡¯on trouve dans la po¨¦sie archa que. Deuxi¨¨mement, je me demande si nous pouvons restituer l¡¯effet que le renversement de telles conventions a pu avoir sur le lectorat ancien de Callimaque. Cela n¨¦cessite que je prenne en consid¨¦ration les th¨¦ories qui concernent la visualisation (energeia) et la plausibilit¨¦ (pithanot¨¨s) d¨¦velopp¨¦es dans les anciens trait¨¦s po¨¦tiques et rh¨¦toriques, qui ¨¦taient connues ou qui se sont d¨¦velopp¨¦es dans l¡¯environnement lettr¨¦ de Callimaque, au Mus¨¦e d¡¯Alexandrie au III¨¨me si¨¨cle avant J.-C. Afin de mieux comprendre les probl¨¨mes pos¨¦s par l¡¯Hymne ¨¤ D¨¦los, j¡¯¨¦voque aussi quelques appr¨¦ciations critiques modernes du po¨¨me. The Delos Hymn of Callimachus presents one of antiquity¡¯s most astonishing descriptions of personified landscape. This article addresses two aspects of Callimachus¡¯ almost surrealistic representation. First, I look in some detail at conventions and concepts from earlier poetry that Callimachus uses and abuses to create his peculiar picture of a moving, animated landscape. I focus in particular on personifications of geographical items and on metaphorical or metonymical expressions as they are found in archaic poetry. Secondly, I ask whether we can reconstruct the effect that overturning such conventions may have had on Callimachus¡¯ ancient readers. This entails that I will look at theories concerning visualization (enargeia) and plausibility (pithanot¨¨s) from ancient literary and rhetorical treatises known to or originating in the learned environment of Callimachus, the Alexandrian Museum of the third century BC. To get a clear focus on the problems the Delos Hymn presents, I also survey some modern critical appraisals of the poem. L¡¯Inno a Delo di Callimaco presenta una delle pi¨´ sorprendenti descrizioni di paesaggio personificato dell¡¯antichit¨¤. Questo articolo analizza due aspetti della rappresentazione quasi surreale che fa Callimaco. In primo luogo, discuto in dettaglio convenzioni e concezioni della poesia pi¨´ antica di cui Callimaco fa uso e abuso per c
