Epigrafia e storia politico-militare di Atene nella Periegesi di Pausania
No full textAbstract (ita): L’autore prosegue uno studio avviato in un suo precedente lavoro (Historikà 9, 2019) e continua a occuparsi del trattamento riservato alla storia politico-militare nella Periegesi di Pausania. Qui, il focus è posto sulle iscrizioni che lo scrittore menziona esplicitamente nel corso dell’opera e, in particolare, su quelle relative (anche o esclusivamente) ad Atene e agli Ateniesi. Di queste viene fornito un elenco dettagliato; l’analisi, invece, si concentra maggiormente su quelle epigrafi che, per il modo in cui vengono utilizzate da Pausania, si rivelano più significative di altre.
Abstract (engl): In this contribution, the author carries on the research strand established by his previous work (see Historikà 9, 2019), namely the approach to political and military history in Pausanias' Periegesis. The focus is placed on the inscriptions quoted by Pausanias, and specifically on those regarding Athens and the Athenians. A detailed list of these inscriptions is provided, while a more in-depth analysis is offered for those emerging as most significant or relevant in Pausanias' (historiographical and ideological) perspective
«Verso Atene» tra logoi e theoremata. ‘Frammenti’ di storia politico-militare ateniese nella Periegesi di Pausania
Full text linkIl saggio si concentra sulle digressioni storico-narrative presenti nella Periegesi di Pausania
e, soprattutto, su quelle che riguardano (anche o esclusivamente) Atene. L’autore analizza
il trattamento e lo spazio che Pausania riserva alla storia greca, in generale, e a quella
ateniese, in particolare. Un’attenzione speciale è data sia alla struttura complessiva
dell’opera, sia al libro sull’Attica e, nello specifico, alle notazioni contenute nei primi paragrafi
(I 1-2, 4), che occupano una posizione enfatica all’interno della Periegesi.
Nel corso del lavoro, l’autore riflette sulla natura dell’opera e, a tal proposito, cerca anche
di ricostruire il percorso che la Periegesi ha compiuto per arrivare fino a noi con il titolo
che oggi continuiamo ad attribuirle e che, tuttavia, risulta estraneo al lessico dello scrittore.
The essay focuses on the historical and narrative digressions in Pausanias’ Periegesis, exploring
those concerning also, or exclusively, Athens. The author analyzes the treatment
and space that Pausanias reserves to Greek history in general, and to Athens in particular.
He pays special attention both to the overall structure of the work and to the book on Attica,
with a specific focus on the information preserved by the first paragraphs (I 1-2, 4), which
occupy an emphatic position within the Periegesis.
Besides, the author reflects on the nature of the research carried out by Pausanias, and
attempts to reconstruct the history of the textual transmission of the Periegesis, a work
which, strikingly, has come down to us with a title foreign to the writer’s usual vocabulary
Visioni d’Oriente (e d’Occidente) di un filosofo. Aristotele, la Politica e i Persiani
No full textVisions of the East (and West) of a philosopher. Aristotle, the Politics and the Persians. This contribution focuses on the role that Aristotle assigns to the Persians in the Politics, starting from the few passages where this ethnos is explicitly claimed into question. Before dwelling on the Persians, this paper analyzes the treatment that the philosopher reserves to the barbarians throughout his work. Rather than being a mere historical (and/or historiographical) ‘subjects’, the Persians are here exploited as a rhetorical-argumentative ‘tool’ useful to provide explanatory and probative force to the main argument
Dio, dèi ed eroi in Aristotele
No full textLa sezione aristotelica che il nr. 15 (2023) di Hormos ci fa l’onore di ospitare è costituita da tre contributi che si sono avvalsi delle osservazioni e dei suggerimenti forniti dagli studiosi che hanno partecipato alla VIe rencontre internationale du programme "La
classe dirigeante de la mort de Sylla à la mort de Crassus : les mutations d’une ‘culture politique", responsabile scientifico Maria Teresa Schettino (Strasburgo: 22-23 settembre 2022). In questa occasione, nell’ambito della prima parte del convegno (Religion et politique: l’héritage aristotélicien) è stata presentata una versione parziale dei primi due interventi (C. Zizza e G.B. Magnoli Bocchi), preceduti (e introdotti) dalle riflessioni di M. Polito sugli dèi e gli eroi nei frammenti e negli estratti delle Politeiai. Per il terzo contributo (A. Gandini), si è rivelata fondamentale la discussione che ha concluso la sezione aristotelica della rencontre strasburghese, oltre che lo scambio di idee avvenuto a più riprese a Pavia con il sottoscritto curatore (C. Zizza), con G.B. Magnoli Bocchi e con C. Carsana, a Strasburgo con M.T. Schettino e J. Zamora
Una ‘giovane’ voce (un po’) fuori dal coro: Mario Segre e la Periegesi di Pausania
No full textThis chapter analyzes Mario Segre’s dissertation – Pausania come fonte storica – and the articles he published between 1927 and 1930. It highlights the originality of his contributions to scholarly research on Pausanias’ Periegesis and reconstructs why they had a late fortune in the tradition of Pausanias studies
Aristotle, the Agricultural Democracy, and the Aphytaians (Pol. 6, 1319a 14-19)
Full text linkAristotle normally used historical notations to support his arguments. This is somewhat true for all the works of the corpus, but above all for Politics: the nature, objectives, and methodology of the investigations in this treatise present the strongest links with actual and concrete data, and therefore with historia. Obviously even the Aristotle of Politics is not a historian who wants to report known historiographical traditions; however, regardless of his intentions, there is no doubt that the work in question (more than all the others attributed to the philosopher) contains precious ‘fragments’ of history which, in general, confirm or supplement our knowledge. There are, however, cases in which the Aristotelian exempla end up filling in the omissions and gaps of the available sources, such as the cursory reference to the nomos of the Aphytaians, which appears in the section of Book 6 dedicated to the so-called agricultural democracy.Aristóteles usó normalmente notaciones históricas para apoyar sus argumentos filosóficos. Esto es cierto para todas las obras del corpus, pero sobre todo para la Política: la naturaleza, los objetivos y la metodología de las investigaciones en este tratado presentan los vínculos más fuertes con datos reales y concretos, y por lo tanto con la historia. Evidentemente, el Aristóteles de la Política no es un historiador que quiera informar sobre tradiciones historiográficas conocidas; sin embargo, independientemente de sus intenciones, no hay duda de que la obra en cuestión (más que todas las demás ascritas al filósofo) contiene preciosos ‘fragmentos’ de historia que, en general, confirman o complementan nuestro conocimiento. Hay, sin embargo, casos en los que los exempla aristotélicos acaban llenando las omisiones y lagunas de las fuentes disponibles, como la rápida y concisa referencia al nomos de los Aphytaioi, que aparece en la sección del libro 6 dedicada a la llamada democracia agrícola
Il corpo e la Politica. Metafore anatomiche e percettivo-sensoriali in Aristotele
No full textFor Aristotle, metaphors proper, similes, and other rhetorical outcomes of
the same trope procedure which goes by the name of metapherein, reveal
themselves to be adequate philosophical and argumentative tools if they
prove capable of increasing knowledge. They do so by allowing for the
identification of original and relevant connections between things put into
relation and by enabling readers to immediately and effectively appreciate
all the characteristics of a thing, even the less obvious ones. Starting from
these premises, this paper intends to verify the role, function, and effectiveness
of the metaphorical use made of the body, of its parts (hands, feet)
and perceptive-sensory organs (mouth, eye, ear, nose) in Politics. Some of
these metaphors carry out the task of facilitating the understanding of philosophical-
political concepts and theories; others suggest new perspectives
of investigation and reflection by conveying additional and not immediately
clear meanings

“¿Dónde fundaremos nuestra ciudad?” Lugares y constituciones ideales en Platón, Aristóteles y Cicerón
No full textEl presente trabajo trata sobre las consideraciones de naturaleza político-filosófica de
los antiguos (en particular de Platón, Aristóteles y Cicerón) sobre la elección del lugar óptimo
donde fundar una ciudad destinada a durar en el tiempo y a asegurar armonía y concordia a sus
habitantes. Los tres autores tomados en consideración reflexionan sobre los peligros y las ventajas
del mar y aconsejan ubicar la ciudad “ideal” a una distancia de “seguridad” con respecto a la costa,
pero, entre los tres, Cicerón es el único que – teniendo en mente el modelo “real” de Roma –
propone como solución el uso del río como trámite seguro de enlace con el mar y, por tanto,
como lugar en el cual fundar una ciudad que goce de las ventajas de la costa, manteniéndose, sin
embargo, a salvo.
“Where Shall we Found our City?” Locating the Ideal Constitutions in a Topographical Space
in Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero
Abstract: The present work looks at ancient political and philosophical considerations
(with special attention to Plato, Aristotle and Cicero) on the best place where a long-lasting,
harmonious city should be founded. After discussing both the advantages and the dangers borne
by the sea, the aforementioned authors suggest that the city should be kept at a “safety distance”
from the coast. Among them, Cicero alone – with the model of Rome in mind – comes up with
the idea that the river may be the safest link to the sea. Cicero, thus, indicates the river as the
ideal place for the foundation of a city, as it allows the city to enjoy the advantages of the coast,
while protecting it from seaborne perils
