Philosophical thought of the School of the Sextii
2014
Around the first half century B.C. the first Roman school of philosophy arose, which was called School of Sextii. The known members of the School were: Quintus Sextius the Elder, founding father of the School, Sextius Niger, Quintus' son, who became scholarch of the School after his father's death, Sotion, Papirius Fabianus (both teachers of Seneca the Younger), Crassicius Pasicles, a grammarian, and Celsius Cornelius, an expert doctor. The School followed the footsteps of the Hellenistic schools, and similar to these, the pursuit of happiness was its purpose. The school of the Sextii had taken to heart that part of the philosophy called physical, characterizing itself mainly as a philosoph…
Il padre che dovrei essere, il padre che vorrei. Dalle declamazioni di Seneca Padre alla tragedia senecana
2015
Les déclamations offrent un point de vue très intéressant à travers lequel il est possible d'étudier les mécanismes qui régissent les relations entre pères et fils, entre les positions liées au respect des valeurs traditionnelles et des demandes de changement. D'autre part, même la tragédie de Sénèque offre d'importantes opportunités pour observer cet aspect problématique de la mentalité latine, proposant des cas exceptionnels des pères qui cherchent l'aide de leurs fils pour prouver leur identité, ou des fils à la recherche d’une identité qui essayent de l'atteindre chassant les traces d'un modèle paternel insaisissable et complexe. Ainsi le débat, comme en témoignent les collections décla…
Healing Grief: A Commentary on Seneca's Consolatio ad Marciam
2023
Both our view of Seneca’s philosophical thought and our approach to the ancient consolatory genre have radically changed since the latest commentary on the Consolatio ad Marciam was written in 1981. The aim of this work is to offer a new book-length commentary on the earliest of Seneca’s extant writings, along with a revision of the Latin text and a reassessment of Seneca’s intellectual program, strategies, and context. A crucial document to penetrate Seneca’s discourse on the self in its embryonic stages, the Ad Marciam is here taken seriously as an engaging attempt to direct the persuasive power of literary models and rhetorical devices toward the fundamentally moral project of healing Ma…

Res est forma fugax. Identità e funzione del secondo coro della Phaedra di Seneca
2012
This paper deals with the problematic choral odes of Seneca's Phaedra - where scarce and contradictory clues do not provide firm indications of the composition of the Chorus - focusing in particular on the second Chorus, which reacts to the escape of Hippolytus and the accusations made by the nurse, confirming the innocence of the boy. The article suggests that, as in other Seneca's dramas, as well as in few but significant Greek tragedies, including the Euripidean Hippolytus, the play could have two distinct Choruses: while a first female Chorus (vv. 274-357) enhances the power of love and shares Phaedra's view, a second Chorus, composed of men, in the second choral ode (vv. 737-828) will …

Appunti sulla fortuna di Seneca nel "Grand siècle"
2006
La ampia circolazione delle opere di Seneca può essere spiegata soltanto a partire dal notevole successo di cui godette la sua produzione filosofica e teatrale nell’arco dell’intero sedicesimo secolo, benché, in realtà, esso affondi le sue radici fin dal quattordicesimo secolo. Tale successo raggiunse il culmine all’interno della cultura francese del Grand siècle. Nel diciassettesimo secolo il latino delle sue pièces è previsto nei curricula degli studenti delle Università, mentre le versioni francesi di queste tragedie continuavano a godere di un grande successo. Partendo da queste premesse, il saggio prende in esame l’influsso del pensiero, dell’opera, dello stile, della poetica e dei per…
The characteristics of Menippean satire in Seneca, Lucianus and Erasmus
1999
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoitus oli selvittää kreikkalais-roomalaisen menippolaisen satiirin lajityypilliset piirteet neljän esimerkkiteoksen (kahden latinankielisen ja kahden kreikankielisen) sekä muiden asiaan vaikuttavien dokumenttien pohjalta. Tutkimusmateriaalina olivat Senecan (4-65 jKr.) menippolais-satiiri Apocolocyntosis, Erasmus Rotterdamilaisen (1469-1536) Julius exclusus e coelis sekä kreikaksi kirjoittaneen Lukianoksen (120-180) satiirit lkaromenippos ja Nekyomanteia. Seneca kuvaa keisari Claudiuksen kohtaloa hänen saavuttuaan kuolemansa jälkeen taivaan portille, Erasmus paavi Julius II:a, joka joutui taivaassa tekemään Pyhälle Pietarille tiliä toimistaan maan päälla. Luk…
Kuka oli Lucilius? : tutkielma Senecan moraalikirjeiden vastaanottajasta
2007
Roomalaisen valtiomiehen ja filosofin, Lucius Annaeus Senecan (n. 5 eaa.-65 jaa.), ystävälleen Luciliukselle omistama kirjekokoelma Epistulae morales on yksi latinankielisen kirjallisuuden merkittävimpiä teoksia. Seneca vastaavasti on hopealatinan ajan kirjallisuuden merkittävimpiä auktoreita. Kokoelman kirjeet on kirjoitettu Senecan viimeisinä elinvuosina ja niiden asiasisältö on pääasiassa filosofinen. Tutkielmassani selvitän kirjekokoelmasta löytyviä esimerkkejä avaamalla kysymystä siitä, oliko Senecan ja Luciliuksen välinen kirjeenvaihto reaalista vai oliko kirjemuoto vain Senecan käyttämä tyylikeino. Kokoelmasta on löydettävissä kumpaakin argumenttia tukevia näytteitä. Senecan kirjeide…
