LA DOPPIA CITAZIONE DEL FR. 964 DI EURIPIDE NEL DE INDOLENTIA DI GALENO
2013
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the second quotation of the Euripidean fr. 964 N 2 in the De indolentia, a Galenic treatise recently saved from oblivion thanks to Antoine Pietrobelli, is in fact an interpolation due to the enterprise of a scribe. The argumentation is based on words coming immediately before and after the presumed quotation.
Il diritto alla sepoltura e il lutto delle madri dalle Supplici di Euripide
2011
Il diritto alla sepoltura degli eroi caduti sotto le mura di Tebe viene violato da atti di ritorsione a causa della guerra.
Motivi tragici nelle Imagines di Filostrato Maggiore (I 4; 18; 27; II 4; 10; 13; 23; 29; 30).
Grazie all'analisi del rapporto tra il testo delle descrizioni di Filostrato e quello di Seneca tragico, Ovidio e Stazio si ipotizza la presenza nelle Imagines di allusioni ad opere ellenistiche perdute (si fa riferimento a Callimaco e Nicandro) . Inoltre, sulla base di un parallelismo tra II 4 (Ippolito) e un verso delle Rane di Aristofane si rintraccia una citazione dell'Ippolito Velato euripideo. The analysis of the relationship between the Philostratean text and the one of Seneca (only Tragedies), Ovid and Statius confirmed the presence in Philostratus' Imagines of allusions to some Hellenistic lost works (we refer to Callimachus and Nicander) . In addition, thanks to a parallel between…

Un corpo di donna per fare la guerra. Lettura della Ifigenia in Aulide di Euripide
2009
This paper analyzes Euripides’s Iphigenia in Aulis from a perspective that highlights the relationship between three different levels - the sacred, the political and the private -intersected as they are by the opposition male/female. In the course of the tragedy we assist at the gradual domination of the two spheres of “public” and “political”, while the sphere of “sacred” provides only a ritual frame. On the other hand, from the overall structure of the tragedy it also results that the sphere of “private” relationships and loves is a loser. Iphigenia, who takes upon herself the political and patriotic values of war, peculiar to the male, allows the execution of the sacrificial ritual and h…
I doni di Medea. Tra reciprocità e vendetta
2019
Qual è la funzione dei doni nella storia di Medea, e che cosa ci comunicano? Attraverso di essi Medea sembra in grado di costruire relazioni e, all’opposto, di vendicarsi sui suoi nemici. È sulla base dei doni che interpreta offese e vendetta come inversioni dei meccanismi di reciprocità positiva in cui è calata. Partendo dunque dall’assunto che Medea sia, innanzitutto, una “donatrice al femminile”, il contributo esamina le più rilevanti rappresentazioni della sua storia mitica alla luce della categoria del dono. Pertanto, nella prima parte (“i doni per Giasone”) si presterà particolare attenzione alle “Medee” di Pindaro, Apollonio Rodio, Ovidio e Valerio Flacco, senza tralasciare le …
Metamorphoses of Shamed Bodies : Sexual Violence in Euripides’s Helen
2021
In this paper I explore the connections between shame and embodiment in Euripides’s play Helen. The paper focuses on the play’s underlying theme of sexual violence and rape, and on the descriptions of metamorphoses that the mythological female victims often undergo in the face of rape. In my analysis on shame and embodiment I apply two insights from Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of the phenomenon of victim shame in The Remnants of Auschwitz. These are, first, the definition according to which shame is “to be consigned to what cannot be assumed”—that is, to be consigned to one’s self, being and physical body—and second, the claim that in shame one is affected by one’s own (bodily) passivity. Bu…

Agamennone βουληφόρος? La sovranità alla prova del processo deliberativo
2022
Starting with the Iliad, Agamemnon is mostly depicted at the centre of dramatic deliberative situations. This feature is also present in fifth-century literature, particularly in some plays in which Agamemnon’s decision-making ability in uncertainty comes into tension with other characters in order to determine the ‘right’ decision and adequate leadership features. In this paper, I will focus on the Euripides’ play Iphigenia in Aulis (405 a.C.). In this tragedy the behaviour of the Achaean king draws our attention, as he is not equipped to handle his role and responsibilities. In the same years, also historiography is interested in the nature and risks of the deliberative process, as Thucyd…
Review of Ladies’ Greek: Victorian Translations of Tragedy
2019
Review of the book Ladies’ Greek: Victorian Translations of Tragedy, Princeton University Press, Princeton & Oxford,2017 by Yopie Prins that wonders about the ways in which classical languages, in the Anglo-American area, have been associated with an idea of cultured and distinct womanhood.The work is mainly based on archival research. The main object of examination is the reception between the Women of Greek letters of Agamemnon (458 BC) and Prometheus chained (about 460 BC) of Aeschylus, of Elettra (about 410-409 BC) of Sophocles, of Hippolytus (428 BC) and of the Bacchaeus (405 BC) of Euripides.
