abstract in English:	In this article the author compares Thecla’s Hymn from Methodius of Olympus’ Symposium with some kontakia by Romanos the Melodist. The analysis of a few stanzas of Thecla’s Hymn shows that this work can be a model for the kontakia. Methodius in his song gives examples of heroes of the Old and New Testament that sing a refrain. Romanos in their kontakia made a similar structure, the refrain is variously linked to stanzas and often spoken by different characters.
