Writing Literary History in the Greek and Roman World
Covering a wide variety of Greek and Latin texts that span from the Archaic period down to Late Antiquity, this volume represents the first concerted attempt to understand ancient literary history in its full complexity and on its own terms. Abandoning long-standing misconceptions derived from the misleading application of modern assumptions and standards, the volume rehabilitates an often neglected but fundamentally important subject: the Greeks…
Virgil the Wise. Genesis of a Myth
The image of Virgil the Wise presupposes the identification of Virgil as a Latin Homer. This operation was probably first performed by Neo-Platonic commentators, who attributed to Virgil the omniscience and applied to him the allegorical interpretations already proposed by Pseudo-Plutarch and Heraclitus for Homer’s epics. In the fifth century, the Neo-Platonic approach was adopted by Macrobius, while Servius did not recognize Virgil as a Platonis…
Il lessico della tipologia umorale
The typology of the characters based on the four humours was spread in the West by Vindicianus’s Letter to Pentadius and by Bede’s De temporum ratione, but the origin of this typology is Greek, as revealed by several Byzantine texts. The transmission of the typology from Greek to Latin was ensured by translations, but also by adjustments, in cultural and historical contexts which have only been partially explored

Why was Virgil called ‘Parthenias’
The nickname ‘Parthenias’ assigned to Virgil in Naples, as Donatus states in his Vita Vergili, was variously interpreted by the scholars, as to the poet’s morality, or to his name, or to Parthenope. There are new possibilities of clarifying the appellative thanks to Brown’s discovery of an acrostic in the first book of the Georgics. In the context of this acrostic there is a word, virgineum (v. 430), which perhaps suggested the nickname
Commenting on Virgil, from Aelius Donatus to Servius
Virgil’s works have had an uninterrupted reception during the last twenty centuries, and have then stimulated a continuous exegetical activity. The Commentary written by Servius at the beginning of the fifth century is the only one that survives of the several ones that were collected in antiquity; only part of the commentary written by Aelius Donatus in the previous century can be reconstructed. In this article I analyze the transition from Dona…
Sigmund Freud’s Experience with the Classics
Classical culture played an important role in the work of Sigmund Freud and influenced the formation of psychoanalysis. This influence concerned several aspects of Freud’s experience: the personal one, from his adolescent identification with ancient heroes to his emotional bond with Rome and Athens; the intellectual, including his use of authors such as Aristotle and Artemidorus the elaboration of psychoanalytical theory; rhetorical and expositiv…
