“…Twentieth-century historiographical concerns about the dangers of an anachronistic reading of the classical texts (Pigeaud, 1981, 1987; Simon, 1972–3, 1978) have generated new scholarship (Ahonen, 2014, 2019; Berrios, 1994; Harris, 2013; Hershkowitz, 1998; Konstan, 2006; Maieron, 2017; Mumford, 1996; Perdicoyianni-Paléologou, 2009a, 2009b; Thiher, 1999; Thumiger, 2017, 2018; Thumiger and Singer, 2018).…”

“…Aunque el sentido fundamental del verbo βακχεύω refiere a la locura báquica o inspirada por Dioniso, es el valor más general el que prima en Heracles, sea para designar la locura que inspira Lisa, o de la que es víctima Heracles. Como señala H Perdicoyianni-Paléologou (Perdicoyianni-Paléologou, 2009b),. las formas nominales y verbales de esta familia son acuñaciones del período clásico.…”
