There are arguments in favour of the literary tradition which attributes to Boupalos a caricature portrait of the poet Hipponax, following the traditions of iambic poetry for symposia. The dispute between Hipponax and Boupalos could in fact reflect a politico-social and cultural dispute in Archaic Ionia, like that between Hipponax and the painter Mimnes. In this dialectic between poetry and art (sculpture and painting) a new reading of a fragment of Hipponax attacking Boupalos is proposed, where the poet defends the superiority of poetry, which is more supple than inert and silent sculpture.
