Ecos ovidianos en una adaptación de Eurípides: Hécuba triste de Pérez de Oliva
2014
Hécuba triste de Pérez de Oliva, considerada una de las primeras traducciones a lengua vernácula de una tragedia griega, es una adaptación peculiar de la Hécuba de Eurípides que incorpora notables cambios, algunos de ellos por influencia de otras tragedias griegas. En este trabajo estudiamos varios motivos utilizados por Oliva que remiten a otros textos, entre los que destacan obras relacionadas directa o indirectamente con Ovidio.
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…
Il Dioniso delle "Baccanti" e i "piegatori di pini". Polivalenza di un'immagine leggendaria
2021
This paper investigates the mythical and ritual background of Dionysus’ representation as “fir-bender” in Euripides’ "Bacchae" (ll. 1061 ff.), in an attempt to shed light not only on the dramaturgical aspects of the tragic plot, but also on the cultural categories that make this representation intelligible to the Athenian audience at the end of the fifth century BC. Following Louis Gernet’s historical-anthropological approach based on the notion of "polyvalence des images", this paper aims to define a mythical pattern – the connection between the bending of a tree and the dismemberment of a human victim – already attested in the Attic legend of Theseus and Sinis, in which both characters se…
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 …
Sirene nell'Ade. L'aulo, la lira e il lutto
2016
Although music might seem to have nothing to do with death and the grief caused by it (to ban any music making from one’s house is a distinctive feature of mourning), yet dirges (threnoi) bestow upon the deceased both praise and the possibility to be remembered, and soothe the grief of his family and friends, and of the community as a whole. Thus the living accompany the soul of the dead in its descent to the Underworld by means of music, that seems to be the last connection with life. On a mythical-religious level, such an accompaniment is brought about by the Sirens, prayed by Helen so that they could join her in mourning the loss of the many warriors who have died because of her (Eur. He…
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…

Come sonare oggi la musica del passato? Prassi esecutive della musica antica.
2009
Vengon considerate tre fonti: il papiro "Arciduca Ranieri"(III sec. a.C.) contenente sette versi, con notazione melica, dell'antistrofe del primo stasimo dell'Oreste (408 a.C.) di Euripide; la Stele di Sicilo (I/II sec. d. C.); il trittico fiammingo (1460 circa) di Roger van der Weyden, conservato nel duomo di Polizzi Generosa, nella cui tavola centrale quattro angeli – attorno alla Madonna in trono con Gesù bambino – stanno eseguendo il mottetto "Ave regina coelorum, mater regis angelorum" del compositore inglese Walter Frye: due cantano e due suonano.
