Introduction
No full textThe contributions included in this volume deal with the indirect tradition of classical Greek texts in anthologies, lexica and scholia. The innovative approach taken consists in considering the indirect sources as texts worth studying in their own right, rather than as repositories of older, more important texts. The indirect tradition in scholarly literature is thus considered in terms of its broader historical and cultural implications
Treasuries of Literature. Anthologies, Lexica, Scholia and the Indirect Tradition of Classical Texts in the Greek World

Indirect Tradition in the Scholia to the Odyssey: Five Snapshots
No full textFive case‐studies of indirect tradition in the scholia to the Odyssey are discussed in this essay in terms of their methodological relevance: a careful exam-ination of the manuscript evidence, as well as a complete survey of the parallel pas-sages (the comparanda), helps to assess the plausibility of these quotations, their authorship, the vagaries of their wording, and the sources of the mythical versions at which they may hint
Filemone, fr. 102 K.–A. e la reviviscenza tragica di una metafora mitica
No full textThis paper argues that the mention of Niobe turned into a stone in Philemon fr.
102 K.–A. is not merely a reference to the myth, but an allusion of the famous Aeschylean
Niobe. After presenting and discussing the comic fragment, the author provides sections
about the popularity of the Niobe myth and the reasons why Aeschylus’ Niobe was so
significant already in antiquity, which was mainly owing to the dramatist’ s presentation of
Niobe as silent until an advanced point of the performance. Niobe’ s silence is not attested
in other literary or mythographical sources. Next the author discusses the rationalization
of Niobe’ s metamorphosis in the fragment by Philemon, pointing out that it focuses
precisely on the silence of the woman, while other versions by different authors refer to
different aspects (linguistic misunderstandings, immobility, insensibility). Lastly, a short
meta-linguistic survey of the association stone/silence shows that this was not the only
possible nor the most expected outcome in Greek
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
