La scoperta, sistemazione e conservazione della grande Iscrizione di Gortina, nell'isola di Creta (1884-1921): la protezione delle testimonianze e le…
2013
La scoperta e la conservazione della Grande Iscrizione di Gortina a Creta, da parte degli studiosi italiani, fra la fine del XIX sec. e i primi decenni del XX sec., rappresentò un grande riconoscimento scientifico-culturale per la giovane nazione italiana. Nel passato, l’isola di Creta era stata legata alla Repubblica di Venezia e anche questo rapporto favorì l’invio a Creta del giovane epigrafista F. Halbherr, il quale fra notevoli peripezie rinvenne, assieme all’epigrafista tedesco E. Fabricius, la famosa l’iscrizione nell’antica città di Gortina. L’iscrizione, fra le più antiche e complete finora conosciute in tutta Europa, conteneva le norme sulla famiglia, l’eredità e in generale i dir…
Theognis of Megara and the Divine Creating Power in the Framework of Semiotic Textology: An Application of János Sándor Petöfi’s Theory to Archaic Gr…
2012
This paper is a demonstration of an application of Semiotic Textology to a limited case study. The main aspects of Semiotic Textology, the theory elaborated by Petöfi, are presented; secondly the linguistic aspects of the interpretation of lines 133-134 of the Theognis of Megara's poem, analysed in the framework of said theory, are presented. All the relevant syntactic, semantic, pragmatic information involved in text processing have been considered. Through fixed steps, it is shown that text processing is not exclusively a grammatical activity, because within a theoretical interpretation an Interpreter needs a number of contextual hypotheses, in order to understand the author's ontology. ©…
Forms and limits of therapeutic treatments of hereditary diseases in ancient Greece
2017
Not being epistemologically different from treatment of congenital diseases, the therapy of hereditary diseases has to be considered in its complex relationship with the concepts of nature and culture, and with the ideas of Greek authors about generation and education. As such, therapy of hereditary diseases can be described as the (often hopeless) attempt by the ancient, particularly Hippocratic physician to restore the health condition or to contrast the natural tendency of the patient to develop and give expression to his or her pathological inheritance. If for the Greek physician dietetics represents the most widely practised way of treating disaeses on a presumed inherited basis, the n…
Vita di un impero: tracce di metafore biologiche in Tucidide
2019
Although we do not find in the narrative of the Peloponnesian War an explicit analogy between the phases of human life (more or less distributed) and those of the great political bodies, it remains nevertheless fruitful in my opinion to explore the text in search of clues for biological metaphors. In particular, I will follow the traces left throughout the narrative by three crucial elements: daring (τόλμα), desire (ἔρως), disease (νόσος). The biological metaphor of the 'degrees of development' of the living being in Thucydides does not find fulfillment in the senectus. His absence was charged by Reinhart Koselleck as a distinctive feature of Greek historiography, especially of the classica…
La figura di Cassandra sulla scena tragica di V secolo: le testimonianze dell’Agamennone e delle Troiane
2020
In both Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Euripides’ Trojan Women, Cassandra plays the role of tragic heroine, subjected to Apollo’s manipulation, aware of the past and the present of the house of Atreus and able to predict the future; but on stage the people she speaks with do not seem to understand her predictions and are not persuaded by her words. The aim of the paper is to focus on the main features of the tragic character of Cassandra in Aeschylus and Euripides and to investigate the levels of manipulation and communication.
Sófocles, Traquinias 526
2016
El v. 526 del primer estásimo de Traquinias ofrece un problema textual hasta el momento no resuelto. La difícil comprensión del mater transmitido por los manuscritos ha dado lugar a diversas conjeturas. Entre ellas la que ha gozado de mayor aceptación es la de Thater de Zielinski, pero también provoca problemas la interpretación que se le ha dado a tenor de la caracterización del coro. El artículo apoya esta conjetura y la pone en relación con una fuente esencial de información de hechos pasados especialmente para las mujeres, la iconografía. In the first stasimon of Trachiniae, l. 526 there is an issue related to textual criticism which has not been solved yet. It is hard to understand the…
Els diàlegs socràtics de Llorenç Villalonga
2017
Per la seva condició d?inigualable narrador, Llorenç Villalonga ha estat estudiat des de múltiples vessants, també des de l?estudi de la tradició clàssica. Les seves dues obres de tema més eminentment clàssic, Fedra i Aquil·les o l?impossible, han estat àmpliament investigades. Aquest article, però, es dedica a repassar la influència de la figura de Sòcrates en l?obra de Villalonga, molt important a partir de la publicació de Bearn o la sala de les nines (1956), centrant-se, sobretot, en Diàlegs socràtics, un relat fascinant de l?autor mallorquí que tracta un dels punts centrals de l?obra de Villalonga, la mort, a través de la figura del pensador atenès, i que mai ha estat analitzat a fons.
