Sulla corporeità del processo cognitivo nei poemi omerici: il caso di μαίνομαι
2019
The aim of this paper is to shed light on the striking connection between, on the one hand, the cognitive process in Homer and, on the other, the verb μαίνομαι (and the forms from the perfect stem μεμον-/μεμα-), which represents the ultimate example of Ancient Greek verb conveying the idea of “raging, being furious/mad/insane”. Besides those common meanings, the analysis of the Iliad and the Odyssey shows that the semantic complexity of μαίνομαι actually includes the idea of “thinking”, due to the inner polysemy of the IE root *men-, to which the verb at issue traces back, as well as the Homeric lack of distinction between body and mind. More specifically, the verb also refers to a range of…
“She Shuddered on her Throne and Made high Olympus Quake.” Causes, Effects and Meanings of the Divine Nemesis in Homer
2015
This article aims at exploring the Homeric gods’ sensitivity to a particular kind of indig- nation that is expressed in the Homeric po- ems by the term nemesis and by the verbal forms arising from it. My purpose is to an- alyse the passages that allow us to establish the causes of divine nemesis towards the mortals and the gods themselves, as well as their effects. This survey also represents an opportunity for investigating the relation between the attribution of emotions to the Greek gods and the anthropomorphic repre- sentation of the divine.
ALCUNE CONSIDERAZIONI SULLA COSIDDETTA LEX ZIELIŃSKI E SULLA GENESI DELL’ODISSEA
2022
The article traces the story of the so-called Lex Zieliński, according to which Homer is incapable of dealing with contemporary events at the same time and must therefore narrate them one by one. It examines the different interpretations of the law and the objections raised by various scholars in the last century, highlighting, however, that in some cases the theories of the Polish scholar are the only convincing way to explain some passages (few, but still present) of the Iliad and the Odyssey, which if understood according to modern narrative logic would be incomprehensible. Zieliński’s studies, therefore, at least in their original form, free of subsequent additions and modifications, he…

L’Omero dei “simposi letterari”, l'Omero della Cena Trimalchionis
2022
Expressions, verses and sequences dealt from the Iliad and the Odyssey are the basis of the conversations held in Plato’s and Xenophon’s ‘literary symposia’, representing the privileged repertoire of images and codified situations for both quantity and variety of subjects to which both Socrate and the other characters referred to when they gathered at table, sometimes intervening also on textual exegesis problems. Direct projection of an aural / oral civilization in which the Homeric texts still constitute the tribal ‘encyclopedia’ of the Greek world, the two Symposia reveal their own alterity with respect to the Convivium of the Seven Wise by Plutarch in which the quotations from the two a…

From the Morlack to the Slav: Images of South Slavic People between Exoticism and Illyrism in Italian Literature and Opera during the 19th Century
2012
Alberto Fortis’ “Viaggio in Dalmazia” (Padua, 1774) described for the first time the Morlacks (Cr. “Vlasi”) of the inner Dalmatia as the true model of a primitive group, whose characteristics became a source of inspiration until 1830s for some Italian writers and ballet composers devoted to exoticism. Contemporaneously, Homer’s paradigm, introduced by Melchiorre Cesarotti in the foreword to the Italian version of the poems of Ossian (1763), as quoted by Fortis, was in turn transformed by the composer and doctor of Split Giulio Bajamonti. Even though published in Italian, Bajamonti’s “Morlacchismo d’Omero” (Venice, 1797) must be considered as the first contribution to the romantic Croatian l…
Metafora i piękno w "Iliadzie" Homera
2017
Iliada Homera jest wielowarstwową opowieścią o heroicznej przeszłości achajskiej arystokracji. Choć skażeni winą, ate, choć zaangażowani w niesprawiedliwą, łupieżczą wojnę, bohaterowie achajskiej historii dosięgają wzoru cnoty, arete – męstwa połączonego z mądrością. Wina zarówno Achajów – Achillesa i Agamemnona, jak i Trojan – Parysa i Hektora, przesłania oraz odbiera im część chwały, jaka winna wypływać z mądrego męstwa połączonego z szacunkiem dla zwyciężonych. Wina zrodzona z pokusy, której nie mogą się oprzeć jako śmiertelni, paradoksalnie obarcza ich odpowiedzialnością za zło, nad którym nie panują. Jednak spadająca na nich kara staje się ekspiacją i aktem odzyskania heroicznej cnoty.…
