Function and Sacrality of Philoctetes' Bow
2019
El arco de Filoctetes, como objeto simbólico importante y sagrado de la tragedia homónima de Sófocles, ha sido estudiado en numerosas ocasiones. A pesar de ello, su importancia como arma sagrada merece una revisión que atienda a los contextos religioso y épico de los que bebió Sófocles. Según la teoría tradicional, esta sacralidad deriva de la proveniencia divina del arco, que procede de Heracles. Con todo, en algunos pasajes podría explicarse mejor por la importancia que, en determinados contextos religiosos, adquirían ciertos objetos venerables que eran considerados también sagrados.
Ancient Greek οι-stem
2019
Abstract The semantics of ancient Indo-European noun stems has not yet received enough attention from scholars. However, the noun stems exhibit an inner semantic coherence arranged in accordance with the basic linguistic principles of categorisation. My aim in this paper is to demonstrate the internal semantic coherence of the Ancient Greek οι-stem noun category and to compare it with other well-studied morphosemantic categories in order to suggest a particular meaning structure.
Root lexical features and inflectional marking of tense in Proto-Indo-European
2009
This paper examines early inflectional morphology related to the tense-aspect system of Proto-Indo-European. It will be argued that historical linguistics can shed light on the long-standing debate over the emergence of tense-aspect morphology in language acquisition. The dispute over this issue is well-known; it has been pursued mostly by scholars following various general linguistic approaches, from typology to acquisition, but also by historical linguists and Indo-Europeanists, who have long debated about the precedence of aspect or tense from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. However, so far Indo-Europeanists have rarely confronted their results in a successful way with re…
Graciela C. Zecchin de Fasano (Editora), Deixis social y performance en la Literatura Griega Clásica : Centro de Estudios Helénicos, Facultad de Huma…
2012
Este libro contiene trabajos seleccionados por sus relevantes aportes entre los presentados como resultado del Proyecto de Investigación “La Deixis Social como elemento básico de la Performance en la Literatura Griega Clásica (narrativa homérica, tragedia esquilea y tragedia sofoclea)”, dirigido por la Dra. Graciela Zecchin de Fasano y co-dirigido por la Dra. Luz Pepe de Suárez (desarrollado entre 2006-2009). Las investigadoras lograron plasmar en sus trabajos la feliz confluencia de la filología clásica con los aportes actualizados de la lingüística y –lo que es relevante por tratarse de textos literarios- con los estudios de poética.

Hybridization as Speciation? The Viewpoint of Greek Folk Biology (and Aristotle) on the Mutation of Species
2008
Modern evolutionary biologists, as for example Michael Arnold, attest that hybridizations could have a strong creative force in organismal evolution. Such an idea was considered as blasphemous by 19th century critics on evolutionism, and did not entirely convince Charles Darwin himself, but it would not have surprised the ancient Greeks and Romans, who knew that inter-specific couplings gave birth to new species. These new species, however, were considered as products of a process of "adulteration" or "involution", rather than "evolution".
Contextualizing Unguru’s 1975 Attack on the Historiography of Ancient Greek Mathematics
2016
In 1975 S. Unguru published his controversial paper on the need to rewrite the history of ancient Greek mathematics. The origin of the paper is sketched according to Unguru’s own story, and then the paper is contextualized in some of the historiographic and disciplinary discussions and shifts taking place during the decade before its publication. The focus is not only on the history of (Greek) mathematics (J. Klein , A. Szabo , M. S. Mahoney ), but a rather broad approach is taken to capture the wider (U.S.-American, academic) discourse around questions of professionalisation of history of science/mathematics. This analysis shows the complexity of the discursive field in which Unguru’s pape…
Sobre las recurrencias, especialmente fónicas, de la poesía indoeuropea
2014
La presente nota subraya la existencia en diversas literaturas indoeuropeas de recurrencias fonológicas, morfológicas, sintácticas y léxicas que remiten a una herencia común. Caso especial es el de la literatura griega, en la que dichas recurrencias han sido tildadas de escasas en presencia y relevancia, si bien el testimonio de los textos desmiente dicha reserva.
Why Phaedrus? Plato in Virginia Woolf’s novel <i>Jacob’s Room</i>
2012
Recent criticism has addressed the Platonic and ancient Greek influences on Virginia Woolf’s writings generally, and her novel Jacob’s Room specifically, but there has been no accounting of the motivation for the specific use of Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus in the latter novel. This essay will address how Jacob’s Room engages closely with this dialogue not only with regard to thematic focal points of love and rhetoric, but also in terms of more encompassing structures of space and literary form. In the process, a less ironic approach to Plato and his philosophy than that argued for in much recent criticism comes to light in Woolf’s complex negotiations with the precedent of Victorian Hellenism.
Zur Entstehung der griechischen Chorlyrik
2019
Si cerca di dimostrare che la lirica corale è nata nel peloponneso sotto l'influenza di Terpandro, della lirica lesbica e dell'epos. Si confutano itentativi di stabilire un nesso diretto fra la lirica corale e la poesia indoeuropea. Si cerca di mostrare che tutte le forme dattiliche della lirica (in primis i dattilo-epitriti) derivano dall'esametro dattilico epico. Es wird oft behauptet, dass der Ursprung der griechischen Chorlyrik in einer Zeit, die der endgültigen Fixierung des epischen Hexameters vorausgeht, zu verorten sei.1 Da es nun feststeht, dass der homerische Hexameter spätestens um die Mitte des 8. Jh. v. Chr. seine endgültige Form erhielt,2 müsste man besagter Theorie zu Folge z…
