“…Si bien numerosos trabajos se han centrado en la figura de Zeus como dios de la súplica y de la "justicia" y en cómo estas y otras manifestaciones del dios podían conectarse con individuos desposeídos o de baja extracción socioeconómica (con frecuencia en relación a la liberación de dependencias) 394 y a pesar también de que existe una cierta reflexión en torno al vínculo que existe entre la figura del suplicante y la del extranjero (Gould 1973: 90-4;Parker [1983] 1996: 181) o entre la del mendigo y la del suplicante y el extranjero errante (Gould 1973: 94, n.104;Ndoye 1993b, esp. pp.…”

“…Walker 1995: 171-94, para la figura de Teseo en Edipo en Colono) 392 .Por otra parte, el relato de la llegada del errabundo Edipo al citado demo ático se inicia con la referencia a la ocupación por parte de este del espacio reservado al culto de las Semnai Theai (Diosas Venerables), más comúnmente conocidas como Erinias o Euménides, a las que el antiguo rey de Tebas no duda en acogerse como suplicante (S. OC, 44). Ello parece tener especial sentido, si se tiene en cuenta que, en una de sus facetas, tales divinidades aparecen ligadas a los procesos purificatorios vinculados al "crimen" y al miasma derivado del mismo; una impureza que acompaña a Edipo tras haber asesinado por accidente a su padre y haber mantenido relaciones con su madre(Parker [1983(Parker [ ] 1996 Jameson, Jordan y Kotansky 1993: 54 y 116ss. ; Valdés Guía, Fornis y Plácido 2007: 108, 111).…”

El presente libro ofrece una aproximación integral al fenómeno de la pobreza en la Atenas clásica. El estudio parte, para ello, de una concepción multidimensional y dinámica de la pobreza con el objetivo no solo de proporcionar una mejor y más completa comprensión de dicho fenómeno, sino también del modo en el que este se imbrica en el universo cultural y mental de Atenas. El análisis histórico de la pobreza se enriquece, además, con enfoques y aportaciones realizadas a este campo de estudio desde las ciencias sociales, especialmente desde la sociología y la antropología social y cultural.

“…In contrast, there have been some analyses regarding ancient conceptions of fetid air and miasmas (e.g. Kolowski-Ostrow 2015a & b;Morley 2015;Parker 1996) and unhealthy environments (e.g. Bradley and Stow 2012;Morley 2005).…”

Different genres of Roman literature commented on the relationship between the condition of the environment and physical and mental health. They often refer to clear, pure, or good air as a beneficial aspect of the environment. Yet, unlike fetid air, they provide few descriptions of what constituted healthy air quality. Moreover, aside from pointing out the association between the environment and bodily condition, the writers also did not explain precisely how the link between the two was made. This paper utilizes a comparative study of ancient literature and the archaeological remains of Roman gardens in Pompeii: archaeobotanical samples, fresco paintings, location, and surviving features. Three questions are addressed in this study: First, how did the Romans identify and define pure? Second, how did air connect to the body?Third, what were the qualities of pure air and how did they benefit the body? Not only was inhalation a means of linking air to the body, but the two were also related through sensory perception. I argue that sight, sound, and olfaction were used to identify the qualities of pure air. Through the sensory process of identification, the beneficial properties of pure air were, in accordance with ancient perceptions of sensory function, taken into the body and affected health. Thus, sensory perception acted as the bridge between the environment and health.

Resumo O que precisamos para viver melhor do que somos? Praticar ações para o bem do outro? Esta é uma das fórmulas encontradas na literatura, filosofia, religião e demais formadores de ideologias que ajudam o bem viver. Mas nenhuma das receitas abre mão do uso da memória para a prática da boa ação. A memória é uma faculdade que o homem possui, desenvolve,e renova ao longo de sua vida, tornando-a indispensável para a sua sobrevivência e convivência. A conduta moral do indivíduo expressa suas habilidades no uso das virtudes que possui guardadas na memória, e aliadas ao livre-arbítrio decisório no comportamento com o outro, permite um viver melhor. Platão pode ajudar a entender esse lembrar de ações corretas e desejáveis. Palavras-chave: Memória. Virtude. Conhecimento. Viver Melhor. Abstract What we need to live better than we are? Practice actions for the good of the other? This is one of the formulas found in literature, philosophy, religion and other trainers of ideologies that help the right to live. But none of the recipes give up the memory usage to the practice of good deed.Memory is a faculty that man owns, develops, and renovates through out your life, making it essential for your survival and coexistence.The moral conduct of the individual expresses their skills in the use of the virtues that it has stored in memory, and combined with the free will in decision-making behavior with each other, allows a live better. Plato can help understand this think of right action and desirable. Keywords: Memory. Virtue. Knowledge. Livebetter.
