Abstract

Plato's Four Muses reconstructs Plato's authorial self-portrait through a fresh reading of the Phaedrus, with an Introduction and Conclusion that contextualize the construction more broadly. The reference to four Muses in the myth of the cicadas is read as a hint of the "ingredients" of philosophical discourse, which Plato sets against the Greek tradition of poetic initiations and conceptualizes as a form of provocatively old-fasioned 'mousikē'. The book unravels three surprising features that define Plato's works. First, there is a measure of anti-intellectualism: Plato counters the rationalistic excesses of other forms of discourse, thus distinguishing his own words from both prose and poetry; second, Plato envisages a new beginning for philosophy: he conceptualizes the birth of Socratic dialogue in, and against, the Pythagorean tradition, with an emphasis on the new role of writing and on the cult of Socrates in the Academy; finally, a self-consciously ambivalent attitude emerges with respect to the social function of the dialogues. Plato's works are conceived both as a kind of "resistance literature" and as a preliminary move towards the new poetry of the Kallipolis

Abstract

Un gruppo di donne di Argo è riunito presso l’altare di Demetra a Eleusi: sono le disperate madri dei guerrieri argivi morti nel fallito assalto a Tebe per supplicare gli ateniesi di aiutarle a ottenere sepoltura per i loro figli. I tebani, infatti, hanno negato la restituzione dei cadaveri finché il re ateniese Teseo decide di impegnarsi in prima persona, un’occasione per rivendicare i valori di democrazia di Atene, contrapposti, non senza inquietanti ambiguità, alla tirannide di Tebe. La guerra tra le due poleis diventa così inevitabile e si conclude con la vittoria di Atene, la conseguente restituzione dei cadaveri e un nuovo patto di amicizia tra i due popoli. Attraverso il mito delle Supplici, Euripide riesce a innestare i temi più peculiari della sua produzione letteraria, messi in luce dal ricco e aggiornato apparato di commento: il lutto, il rapporto con la morte per coloro che restano, l’elogio – non senza punti oscuri – della democrazia ateniese e infine il ruolo degli dèi, del fato ma soprattutto degli uomini come motore della Storia.

Abstract

Intertextuality is a well-known tool in literary criticism and has been widely applied to ancient literature, with, perhaps surprisingly, classical scholarship being at the frontline in developing new theoretical approaches. By contrast, the seemingly parallel notion of intervisuality has only recently begun to appear in classical studies. In fact, intervisuality still lacks a clear definition and scope. Unlike intertextuality, which is consistently used with reference to the interrelationship between texts, the term ‘intervisuality’ is used not only to trace the interrelationship between images in the visual domain, but also to explore the complex interplay between the visual and the verbal. It is precisely this hybridity that interests us. Intervisuality has proved extremely productive in fields such as art history and visual culture studies. By bringing together a diverse team of scholars, this project aims to bring intervisuality into sharper focus and turn it into a powerful tool to explore the research field traditionally referred to as ‘Greek literature’.

Cultural Crossroads in the Ancient Novel

Abstract

The protagonists of the ancient novels wandered or were carried off to distant lands, from Italy in the west to Persia in the east and Ethiopia in the south; the authors themselves came, or pretended to come, from remote places such as Aphrodisia and Phoenicia; and the novelistic form had antecedents in a host of classical genres. These intersections are explored in this volume. Papers in the first section discuss ?mapping the world in the novels.? The second part looks at the dialogical imagination, and the conversation between fiction and history in the novels. Section 3 looks at the way ancient fiction has been transmitted and received. Space, as the locus of cultural interaction and exchange, is the topic of the fourth part. The fifth and final section is devoted to character and emotion, and how these are perceived or constructed in ancient fiction. Overall, a rich picture is offered of the many spatial and cultural dimensions in a variety of ancient fictional genres.
