Il piede nella poesia enigmistica greca
Il lavoro dell’editore di testi greci consiste (in estrema sintesi) nello studio dei manoscritti e nell’individuazione delle principali varianti. Ma l’editore di indovinelli si trova davanti un problema in più: cosa si deve intendere, di preciso, per varianti? Molti enigmi, nella loro versione scritta, presentano varianti che vanno ben al di là della semplice differenza di una o più parole, perché riguardano i versi nei quali si cela la soluzione…
Edilo, Epigrammi
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 325 The depth of scholarship on Pindar’s influence on Hellenistic poetry inevitably means that Kampakoglou has to cover some well-trodden ground. By fruitfully exploring unexpected contexts such as Posidippus’ epigrams and Apollonius’ Argonautica he succeeds in giving a new dimension to our understanding of Ptolemaic court poetry as a whole. Comparing Pindaric praise (which is always starkly aware of the human limits o…

The fourteenth book of the Palatine Anthology, the collection of Greek epigrams compiled in Constantinople in the tenth century CE, containing riddles, oracles and mathematical problems, is introduced by a short preface where we learn that these little poems have been collected with the aim of training the spirit of the students who like to struggle and work hard. It seems that these enigmatic epigrams have been written in order to teach the stud…
The God and his Double
Gods are a significant presence in Greek comedies, as it is the case of Hermes, the god who plays a decisive part as the divine assistant of the “comic hero” Trygaeus in Aristophanes’ Peace and makes the audience laugh when he asks the slave Karion to give him a job in Aristophanes’ Plutus . But the presence of Hermes on the comic stage does not limit itself to these famous examples. Quite often the god is present also as a statue, and sometimes …

Libera lingua loquemur ludis Liberalibus
Even if Greek Old Comedy exerted no direct influence on Latin comic theatre, Naevius' theatrical production shows that he was well acquaintanted with the plays of the Archaia. Through the close scrutiny of a few Naevian fragments and the analysis of the plots and the titles of some of his comedies, this paper will attempt to demonstrate that, even if Naevius never wrote an Old Comedy in the Aristophanic mode, he was powerfully influenced by the w…
The Metamorphosis of a Greek Comedy and its Protagonist
In the first years of a millennium that may seem to set a greater and greater distance between us and the classics, there is a Greek comedy that continues to be rewritten and performed in new forms all over the Western world. This comedy is Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, and these performances are not just more or less modernized stagings of a very old play: they are independent and, in a certain way, original works, that look quite similar because th…

Se le commedie di Aristofane compaiono molto raramente nei cartelloni dei nostri teatri, uno dei motivi è senz’altro la parabasi. Le allusioni all’attualità dell’Atene del quinto secolo, i riferimenti ai personaggi che in quegli anni erano sulla bocca di tutti, le accuse ai poeti comici rivali, gli accenni alle vicende politiche venivano concentrati da Aristofane soprattutto nella parte centrale delle sue commedie, all’interno di quella singolare…
Aristofane tra sagezza e castità
Nel greco classico il sostantivo σωφρoσúνη ha sempre avuto il duplice significato di “saggezza” e di “castità”. Il secondo valore, la “temperanza sessuale”, è assente in Omero e nei lirici, si riscontra più volte nei tragici, è molto frequente nei filosofi e fa la sua comparsa anche nell’epigramma1.
