Figlia della Notte e compagna di Aidos: Nemesis, dike e il senso del limite in Esiodo

2016

Un articolo di Karl Kerényi, pubblicato con il titolo di Aidos und Themis, offre lo spunto per una riflessione sul contributo di Nemesis a quella forma di giustizia che i Greci designavano con il termine dike. Dopo un rapido confronto con le espressioni della nemesis in Omero in cui il termine appare piuttosto come la manifestazione della disapprovazione sociale, l’analisi si concentra su due passi chiave, l’uno tratto dalle Opere e i Giorni e l’altro Teogonia di Esiodo, in cui Nemesis appare chiaramente dotata di corpo e prerogative divine. I due passi sono letti alla luce della riflessione esiodea sulla giustizia, della particolare vicenda biografica del poeta, come delle sue convinzioni …

Squaring Nemesis: Alexander’s Dream, the Oracle, and the Foundation of the New Smyrna

2022

In the 7th book of the Periegesis, Pausanias devotes a long digression to the Ionian migration in Asia Minor, focusing briefly on the story of Smyrna, whose territory originally belonged to the Aeolian settlers and was then occupied, at the beginning of the 7th century, by the Ionians from nearby Colophon. The arrival of Alexander the Great in the region marked the beginning of a new phase for Smyrna. Pausanias reports that the Macedonian king, on his way back from a hunting expedition on Mount Pagos, arrived at the sanctuary of the Nemeseis. There, the divinities appeared to him in a dream telling him to find a city and to bring there the inhabitants of the older polis. The Smyrnaeans then…

Retorica e costruzione del consenso in Tucidide: il caso di Mitilene.

2016

In his account of the Peloponnesian war, Thucydides explicitly insists on some dilemmas linked to the wider matter of deliberative process: in particular, the relationship between nature, profit and justice, truth and lie, speech and action. The story of the uprising of Mytilene is particularly useful, intertwining the antilogy between the two speakers (Cleon and Diodotus) with the so-called metanoia: the Athenian deliberative rethinking puts on focus the complex problems of the building of consensus in the democratic decision-making processes. Here we examine only one point of the two rich and articulate speeches: the opportunity of discussing again what has been already decided in a corre…

I «nomi» degli dèi greci. I poteri della denominazione nella riconfigurazione di un pantheon

2012

This paper analyzes a matter of polytheistic semantics in the Greek Classical age since the process of naming gods and heroes. Two case studies are compared. The first focuses on the Homeric Hymn to Apollo where the examination of different forms of poetic proferation of divine allows to explain strategies and procedures for the integration of a new deity in the pantheon. The second case study aims to examine in the Euripides drama Erechtheus how changes in the naming of Gods could reflect a new political situation leading to a functional and cultual redefinition of tutelary gods in Athens.
