L'Occidente nella concezione geografica di Diodoro Siculo
2021
In his first five Books of Historical Library Diodorus pays a particular attention to the lands of Atlantic Far West. Even if the historian does not show to be particularly interested in geographical descriptions and cartography, nevertheless he often portrays the background of mythical stories happening in western areas according to patterns which, in a sort of symmetrical correspondence, are similar to the historian’s representation of events involving the geographical areas of the Asian Far East.

Ἀνὰ μέσον ἡδονῆςτε καὶ λύπης: Avidità umana e filantropia alla prova dell’oro in Diodoro

2023
Diodorus’ information on Sicilian geography are few, and they occur in Books 4-5, devoted to local myths. The historian deals especially with subjects such as insularity, site, dimensions of the Island, with the aim to stress the central role played by Sicily within the ancient Mediterranean world, also from a geographical point of view. In Diodorus’ Sicilian “Archaeology” the coeval data about geography mingle with mythical information, often approximative and unreal, which the historian found in previous literary traditions. Yet mythical heroes left traces of their presence on the Island, and these are considered by Diodorus as still visible in his times, and a proof of their passage. Cen…

Purificare e salvare la polis. Alcune osservazioni sulla “colonna B” della Lex Sacra di Selinunte
2012
Il confronto con alcuni rilievi attici e con la parte finale dell'Anabasi di Senofonte consente di proporre una identificazione plausibile dell'epiclesi di Zeus, unica divinità menzionata nella colonna B della Lex sacra di Selinunte.
