Since all artistic representation also testifies to the historical context in which the piece of art was created, the hypothesis that guides the study of the epigram is the leveling effect of the plague, which does not distinguish among its victims: it brings together the powerful and the humble, the pharaohs and their subjects, the healthy and the sick and the strong and the weak, and it affects a particular member of the family instead of a different member and people of all ages without distinction. In fact, the conception underlying the hypothesis represents an assumption, as it goes beyond the writer’s aim of poignantly reflecting the deep pain/sorrow experienced by Ptolemy VI Philometor and his sister Cleopatra II upon the death of one of their children. Este artículo explica brevemente el alcance del género epigramático y, mediante la traducción personal de la fuente original griega y su cotejocon versiones latina, inglesa, española e italiana, analiza el epigrama 241 de Antípatro de Sidón en el libro 7 de la Antología Palatina, previa contextualización de su autor y de la génesis del poema. La hipótesis que orienta el estudio del epigrama es la condición niveladora de la peste, que no distingue entre sus víctimas: unifica a poderosos y a humildes, a faraones y súbditos, a sanos y enfermos, a fuertes y a débiles, a un integrante de la familia en lugar de otro, a todas las edades sin distinción. Trasciende, sin embargo, la intención del escritor, quien ha buscado reflejar el intenso dolor de Ptolomeo VI Filométor y su hermana Cleopatra II ante la muerte de uno de sus hijos.
