Belleza y elocuencia, o la rendición por los sentidos (Lucianus, Scyth. 11)
Get PDFIn Lucian’s Scythian (§11), all previous editors have corrected the word ἀπάξεται as it appears in the manuscripts to ἐπάξεται. We aim to justify the restoration of the original text because, obviously, it is possible in terms of form, and, besides, it seems more appropriate to the context. The verb ‚págomai implies the notion of being moved from one place to another, while ἐπάγομαι expresses only the notion of simple attraction which does not involve actual movement. This notion of true surrendering through the senses seems to match the idea developed here by Lucian; loci paralleli in Lucian himself and other Attic authors help us to confirm this interpretationNo disponible
El juicio de Gneo Calpurnio Pisón (Tácito, Anales III 7-18)
Get PDFPiso, suspected of having murdered Tiberius´s adopted son, Germanicus, in October of 19 AD, was brought to trial for this and other crimes in 20 AD. The date of the trial (May of the same year) which can be deduced from Tacitus´s writings (Annals III 8.15), has traditionally been accepted as accurate. The recent discovery of the SCPP has called this date into question as the Senatus Consultum is dated 10th December, giving rise to the belief that the trial took place round about that time. This study defends the traditional date by combining arguments of historical analysis with an original approach based on breaking down Tacitus´s chrono logical-narrative technique into symbolic schemata.No disponible
Tibullus, Messalla, and the spica: I 1.16; I 5.28; I 10.22, 67; II 1.4; II 5.84
Get PDFSpica/spiceus is disproportionally prominent in Tibullus in comparison with his contemporaries, appearing in no less than six passages; moreover it is conceptually and contextually significant in all of them. This paper suggests that the prominence of spica/spiceus is due to Tibullus' patron Messalla being an Arval Brother: the principal badge of office of the Fratres Aruales, which they wore at some of their ceremonies, was a spicea corona - cf. Tibullus' corona/ spicea (I 1.16). Some residual problems are noted and some conclusions offered.No disponible

Nuevos testimonios papiráceos de fábulas esópicas
Get PDFThere are certain papyri which preserve new versions of known Aesopic fables as well as some variants which are interesting for the text of other. So., in O. Claud. 413 there is a new version of H. 215 “The child who hunted grasshoppers”; in P. Mich. XVIII 765 there are new versions of H. 53 “The farmer and the fox”, and of H. 1 “The eagle and the fox”; several papyri offer school copies of H. 32 “The parricide”, with a text already known from P. Grenf. II 84; P. Haun. III 46 presents a new version of H. 56, the fable of the sorceress; in Wilcken, Gr. Ostr. II 12226 there is a sentence by Aesop; several papyri offer paraphrases of Phaedrus and Babrius which are older than those we knew; and the case of PSI VII 848 is the same, it offers a fragmentary text of ps. Dositheus 15.No disponible
La Andrómeda de Sófocles: ¿un nuevo testimonio? (Eratosth. cat. XVII)
Get PDFThe star index of of Andromeda Constellation in the different writings which depend from Eratosthenes' Kataterismoi shows great differences. The author brings to light a new piece of evidence of the Greek original, picked out from its mediaeval translation, known as Aratus Latinus. Following this variant, Andromeda appears tied to a pair of oars (an iconographical image also known from ancient vases). It may well be that Sophocles himself was inspired by this tradition of Andromeda's exposure to the sea monster when he wrote his Andromeda.No disponible
Etymologising on common nouns in Catullus
Get PDFThe object of this paper is to explore Catullus’ use of etymology with common nouns. Twenty five case of etymologising on common nouns from Latin and Greek are discussed, followed by one case of e contrario etymologising (bracchium-leue, 64.332) and one example of double etymologising (mensis-Luna-metior, 34.16-8). The etymological wordplays are treated in order of appearance in the Catullan corpus. The wide use of etymology by Catullus demonstrates that it was a fundamental stylistic and thematic feature of his poetry, appearing both in the short and the long poems. Catullus employs well-known markers to highlight his etymologies. Parallels of these Catullan etymological wordplays have already occurred in comedy and will later appear in Augustan poetry. As a result, Catullus’ role as the intermediary between these two important stages of Roman etymologising is particularly significant.No disponible
El escudo, la serpiente y la mujer en Arquíloco 12 Adrados = 5 West
Get PDFThis paper proposes a new interpretation of fragment 12 Adrados = 5 West by Archilochus. In my opinion, the hurling of the shield is not to be considered as a sign of disrespect of noble and traditional values or as an indication of cowardice. In fact, since aspis can also mean “viper” and, therefore, “woman” (misogynist conceptions compared the woman to a snake), we put forward a new reading, according to which Archilochus would have been proud of having got rid of what he considered a wicked girl. As the Cologne Epode contains a similar motif, it seems that this kind of sexist scorn was often treated in sympotic contexts, in which we can situate most of Archilochus’ poetry.No disponible
Sui rapporti fra il cosiddetto Poema ultimum (CSEL 30 Hartel) e il Carmen ad senatorem (CSEL 23 Peiper)
Get PDFAn in-depth metrical and stylistic study of the so called Poema ultimum (CSEL 30 Hartel) and of the Carmen ad senatorem (CSEL 23 Peiper) wants to prove, against recent researches, that the two poems, even though they share the same formal choices and postulate on the thematic area, a direct conctat, are no doubt the works of two different poets. Such a close link, might be explained by the fact that the author of the p. ult. is the same person as the senator, whom the other poem is addressed to.No disponible
