  • Cooking Up Homer

    Chiara MeccarielloARTICLEClassical Philology2026

    This article focuses on the only extant fragment of the comic playwright Strato, which is preserved in a third-century BCE papyrus without attribution and in two distinct passages of Athenaeus, where it is ascribed to Strato and Philemon respectively. Athenaeus and the papyrus preserve two different versions of the fragment. Based on a new reconstruction of the papyrus version, this article reassesses the relationship between the two versions, ar…

  • Did Euripides’ Andromache Premiere Outside Athens

    Open AccessChiara MeccarielloARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2023References: 10

    This article re-examines the scholium on Euripides, Andromache 445, which several scholars have used to support the claim that Andromache premiered outside Athens, and concludes that both the scholium itself and a remark in the play's hypothesis rather suggest that the play was produced in Athens as part of a dramatic competition

  • A Catalogue of Virtuous Women. Myth and Mythography in Clement of Alexandria, Stromateis 4,19,118-123

    Chiara MeccarielloARTICLEVigiliae Christianae2020

    In this paper I examine the mythological references contained in Clem. Alex. Str. 4,19,118-123, a passage in which Clement develops the idea that perfection is equally attainable by men and women, and illustrates it by listing examples of female perfection, including biblical women, historical figures, and mythical heroines. After an analysis of Clement's technique of embedment of the mythical examples, I show that his wording conveys a subtle di…

  • An Emendation in Apollonius Sophista's Lexicon Homericum

    Open AccessChiara MeccarielloARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2017References: 5

    The beginning of the second entry of Apollonius Sophista's Lexicon Homericum reads as follows in the codex Coislinianus gr. 345, the only direct witness to this section (1, 14–15 Bekker): ἀάατος· ὁ ἀβλαβὴς καὶ εὐχερὴς καὶ δι’ οὗ ἄνευ ἄτης. ἐνίοτε δὲ τὸν ἐπιβλαβῆ καὶ δυσχερῆ ... ἀάατος: ‘harmless’ and ‘easy’, and δι’ οὗ ‘without ἄτη’. But sometimes ‘hurtful’ and ‘difficult’
