My paper aims at demonstrating how at the turn of the 4th cent. BCE the role and purpose of encomiastic lyric poetry such as the enkomia, epinikia and other lyric genrse composed by Ibycus, Pindar and Bacchylides for prominent military and political rulers such as tyrants and kings, was in part taken on by the inscriptional epigrams on stone composed in the late 5th and 4th cent. BCE by (less famous) Greek poets in order to celebrate the political and military deeds and 'grandeur' of Lycian dynasts and other prominent figures of neighbouring areas.
