FEACE, «I REMATORI DELLE MUSE» E UN CASO DI AUTO-METAPOIESIS SIMPOSIALE (DIONISIO CALCO, FR. 3 E FR. 5 GENT.-PR. = FR. 4 E FR. 5 WEST)
No full textThe ‘you’ addressed at the beginning of the fr. 3 Gent.-Pr. (= 4 West) by Dionysius Chalcus may be recog- nized as the same Phaeax as the one mentioned in v. 5 that is present at the sym- posium. He is the well-known Athenian orator and politician and a contemporary of Alcibiades’s. Phaeax will start (note πέμπει in v. 5) the sympotic chain of songs in praise of a distant friend. The sequence of songs is imagined as the work of the «Muses’ rowers». The rowing metaphor, that is used in a sympotic context once again, is present in fr. 5 Gent.-Pr. (= 5 West), where it describes the dense sequence of drinking cups. The two fragments could represent a case of auto-metapoiesis by the author, that is to say, the retake and variation made by a poet in relation to one of his previous poems that is already known to the symposium audience
Presupposti e tecniche della parodia poetica nella parodo delle Vespe (e ancora sull'ordine dei vv. 266-289 e 290-316)
No full textLa parodo delle Vespe si segnala per una marcata caratterizzazione in senso parodi- co: parodia del ricordo storico, parodia di poesia lirica e paratragedia. L’articolo prende in esame i presupposti, i meccanismi e i risultati di questa operazione comica, con particolare attenzione alla ri- presa del fr. 189 Maehl. di Pindaro e agli eπetti metrico-ritmici prodotti dalla citazione. Inoltre viene ribadita, anche con nuove argomentazioni, la corretta sequenza dei vv. 266-316 così come tramandati dalla tradizione manoscritta
What we talk about when we talk about Classics. A Few Considerations from Italy
No full textWhat is the role of the ancient classics in a globalised, digital, inclusive society? To expect the Greeks and Romans to be as we are now, on pain of their cancellation or marginalisation, is an act of supremacism of the present, which an- nihilates the past, confines current events in an enclosure and renders arid the fu- ture. The classics (not only Greek and Latin), considered in their essential historical trajectory, represent important terms of cultural comparison and help overcome the inevitable conformism of the present. They do not provide answers and models, but lay bare – through the power, effectiveness and beauty of expressive languages – the hard and even stinging core of crucial issues in the lives of individ- uals and communities. Historical and educational reasons speak in favour of Greek and Latin languages in curricula. In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, can we really be so sure that in a classical-humanistic education, everything or al- most everything should be set aside
