English summary: This book, which covers a period of two thousand years, is not a history of the epigram: it is an essay concerning poetry throughout history, which tries to capture the essence of a genre by analyzing the key points of its evolution. Originating in Greece, the epigram rapidly became an oral and spoken phenomenon in Rome. During the Renaissance, the epigram began to conquer an original variety, which it further enriched. The epigram has the bee as its emblem: a combination of honeyed sweetness and stinging trickery. Superseding the first edition of 1989, the current edition offers a revised text, updated with the most recent discoveries and discussions and enhanced by three new chapters. French text. French description Ce livre, qui embrasse deux millenaires, n'est pas une histoire de l'epigramme: essai de poetique dans l'histoire, il poursuit plutot une reflexion sur l'essence d'un genre a travers l'analyse des moment forts de son evolution. Nee en Grece avec l'inscription qui lui donne son nom, tot confiee a l'ecrit et elargie a partir de l'epoque alexandrine a toute la lyre, l'epigramme s'affirme a Rome davantage comme un phenomene oral et parle: Catulle y enferme la violence, par un puissant resserrement Martial l'enrichit du contenu de la satire et l'arme pour toujours de la pointe eblouissante; c'est avec celle-ci que l'epigramme de la Renaissance repart a la conquete de la variete originelle, qu'elle enrichit encore de formes inedites. Au-dela de l'elargissement du champ et de la tension entre la venustas des Grecs et l'argutia latine se confirme l'unite dans le temps d'une forme breve, close, liee a l'objet et a la circonstance speciale, qu'elle valorise par l'eclat de la rhetorique: soit l'oppose du haiku, autre forme breve mais " poeme sans sillage ", " fourmi sans ombre ", quand l'epigramme a pour embleme l'Abeille, mixte de douceur miellee et de dard. Succedant a la premiere edition, parue en 1989, la presente edition offre un texte revu, mis a jour a la lumiere des decouvertes et discussions les plus recentes et augmente de trois nouveaux chapitres.
