This paper discusses four newly discovered technopaegnia in Musaeus’s Hero and
Leander. The author argues that they are interconnected and constitute a complex
literary game that spreads almost over the whole poem. The characteristic elements
of the technopaegnia discussed in the article are the apostrophes, their palindromic
character, and the numbers 9 and 10. Based on the latter feature, the author tries to
show that lines 1-10 hide references to the Pythagoreans’ teachings about the first ten
numbers.
