“…Herodotus, for example, uses illness as a metaphor for social and political disorder (5.28.1). However, suggestions that seizures and postictal psychoses may be depicted in several Greek Tragedies, particularly Herakles and Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides, are not supported by close analysis [14].…”

“The Poetics of Anthropogony: Men, Women, and Children in Lucretius, Book Five” analyzes how Lucretius handles a significant problem in Epicurean accounts of the origins of humans and human culture – namely, how a species that, unlike any other, enters the world “in need of every kind of vital support” (indigus omni uitali auxilio) as Lucretius himself famously writes in an argument against a providential ordering of the cosmos, ever managed to survive. The young nurturing earth plays a crucial role in the early survival of the species, but the earth’s aging necessitates another solution. I argue that this takes the form of the early societies that Lucretius describes in a well-known but puzzling excursus at 5.1011-1027. With the rise of human society, fathers come to take on the role of the young earth in protecting children as well as women, while at the same time taking care to protect themselves through a male community. The passage thus responds not only to Epicurean ideas about justice and friendship but also obliquely addresses, through what I term “poetic logic”, questions of infancy, vulnerability, and care that are generated by the first phases of the origin narrative.

Euripide e l’arco di Eracle

Riassunto-In una scena famosa dell'Eracle di Euripide, Anfitrione e il tiranno Lico disputano sull'uso dell'arco e sulla sua dignità come arma guerriera. La scena è stata oggetto di numerose e contrastanti interpretazioni, che hanno chiamato in causa questioni di ampio respiro: in particolare la (presunta) condanna tradizionale dell'arco, considerato come un'arma "vile" da un punto di vista "eroico" o aristocratico. Con meno frequenza e precisione il dibattito sull'arco è stato inquadrato in rapporto alla scrittura drammaturgica dell'Eracle. Si cercherà quindi innanzitutto di definire i caratteri della disputa, talvolta considerato come un "corpo estraneo" nel contesto dell'opera, all'interno del complesso gioco tra tradizione mitologica e verità, finzione e realismo, leggenda e quotidianità delineato da Euripide.
