Stories of Scylla and Charybdis in Homer and Vergil (Italian)
2007
A comparison between Odyssey's book 12 and Aeneis' book 3 shows some similarities in the handling of the myth: Scylla and Charybdis are hidden creatures, which the reader of both the poems can glimpse only behind the veil of the description of the seers Elenus and Circe. In the Vergilian version, however, there are traces of the rationalizations of the myth operated by Sallust and Lucrece.
Generazione di ibridi, generazione di donne. Costruzioni dell’umano in Aristotele e Galeno (e Palefato)
2005
Denying or rationalizing the mythical monstrous hybrids in Aristotle, Palaephatus and Galen is also making use of the animal as a keystone for the construction of human. In such sense, through the reflection on centaurs and monsters, the three authors build the sphere of human as tendentially separated from animal’s. This sphere also tends to include the woman seen as a “dimensional door to theriomorfic alterity”, then as a threat to identity.
