    Scholia and marginalia as testimonia of earlier stages of the text of Lucian: three notes on the Lexiphanes.Luca Beltramini - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):136-146.
    The rich apparatus of scholia and marginalia transmitted in Lucian’s manuscripts can prove of vital help for the constitutio textus of his writings. On the one hand, their ancient and stratified origin makes it possible that they preserve traces of an earlier stage of Lucian’s text, both directly, through explicit quotations of lost variants, and indirectly, through hints given in the explanations of lemmas. On the other hand, they may allow us to recognise as problematic passages that otherwise would go (...)

    Ovidio, Cicerone e il finale delle Metamorfosi.Emanuele Berti - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):147-167.
    The finale of Ovid’s Metamorphoses contains a sphragis in which the poet proclaims the immortality of his poetic work and the eternal survival of his pars melior (Ov. Met. 15.871–879). These lines present a number of rather close parallels with excerpts from the seventh suasoria of Seneca the Elder’s collection, whose theme is Deliberat Cicero an scripta sua comburat promittente Antonio incolumitatem, si fecisset. Allusions to this declamatory exercise may activate in the Ovidian passage a reference to the theme of (...)

    Capaneus philosophus? Una nota su Zenone, Filodemo, Stazio (e Lucrezio).Francesco Cannizzaro - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):168-179.
    This short article, which starts with a reconsideration of the philosophical characterization of Statius’ Capaneus, aims at investigating the reception of the mythical figure of Capaneus in Hellenistic philosophy. Both among the Stoics (Zeno and, maybe, Chrysippus, according to Diogenes Laertius and Athenaeus) and the Epicureans (Philodemus in P.Herc. 452 olim 463, fr. 13), Capaneus occurs in the philosophical discourse on the definition of the sage, albeit with different nuances and reference texts. Statius, Neapolitan poeta doctus with Stoic and Epicurean (...)

  4. La luce della luna: lucifluus in Zenone di Verona ( Tract. 1.2.19) e Isidoro di Siviglia ( Nat. 18.1; Etym. 3.53.1). [REVIEW]Donato De Gianni - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):196-206.
    In Etym. 3.53.1 and Nat. 18.1, Isidore of Seville describes the nature of moonlight, primarily drawing on Augustine’s commentary on Psalm 10. In the chapter of De natura rerum, he also explores specific allegorical meanings of the moon, already established in patristic exegesis, particularly referencing the symbolism of the resurrection of the dead. To indicate the shining part of the moon’s surface, Isidore employs the rare adjectival compound lucifluus, first attested in Juvencus’ Evangeliorum libri with reference to the sun and, (...)

    Un frammento inedito di Zenone dagli scholia vetera alle Opere di Esiodo (= Plut. fragmentum novum?).Simone Fiori - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):119-135.
    The scholia vetera on Works 734–735 are transmitted not only by the manuscript tradition of Hesiod, but also by an entry of the Etymologicum Genuinum. The latter, hitherto largely ignored, offers in several places a better text than the scholia of the Hesiod manuscripts. Particularly significant is the presence of an unpublished fragment of Zeno, who is said to have recommended not copulating while drunk. Analysis of parallels and material-historical specificities of the scholarly tradition relating to Hesiod reveals that this (...)

  6. Certa non certis... Sul testo della poetica tempestas nella redazione A dell’ Historia Apollonii regis Tyri.Francesco Lubian - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):180-195.
    This contribution aims to present some reflections regarding the text of the poetica tempestas in the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri (§ 11), which has always posed significant challenges to editors and commentators of this Late Antique novel. The investigation focuses particularly on the version contained in the earliest surviving redaction (RA), highlighting the poem’s debts to the Latin poetic tradition and proposing three suggestions for the constitution of the text. The aim is to demonstrate that this poetic insert is the (...)

    In tyrannos“!? – Sicco Polentons Ovidvita zwischen mittelalterlichem ‚Aberglauben‘, ‚republikanischem Diskurs‘ und pragmatischem Bildungsideal.Friedrich Meins - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):216-238.
    The paper offers a new interpretation of the Life of Ovid in the Scriptorum illustrium Latinae linguae libri XVIII of Sicco Polenton. While so far scholarship has mostly criticized the lack of historical and philological accuracy in this Life and Sicco’s dependency on medieval speculations, the paper tries to take a closer look at the implications of Sicco’s own methodological stance towards poetry, historiography and rhetoric. A discussion follows whether Sicco’s own biography has shaped his outlook on the ancient poet, (...)

    The Riddles in Martius Valerius.Ruurd Nauta - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (2):207-215.
    The bucolic poet Martius Valerius used to be dated to the twelfth century, but has now been securely assigned to the sixth; articles on his work should therefore be published in journals not of medieval, but of classical philology. The present brief contribution proposes a new solution to the two riddles that Martius, following the example of Virgil, included at the end of his third eclogue. These solutions are then put into the context of the commentary tradition on Virgil’s Bucolics.

    On a Newly Discovered Acrostic in Virgil ( Ecl. 4.9–11): The ‘Tenth’ Age.Neil Adkin - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (1):26-41.
    A syllabic acrostic (de-ca-te, “tenth”) has recently been discovered by Leah Kronenberg at Eclogue 4.9–11. The aim of the present article is to adduce further evidence for the intentionality of this acrostic. The article begins by pointing to corroborative clues in the text encompassed by the acrostic itself. Attention is then drawn to the overlooked deni‑acrostic in the previous Eclogue (3.55–58). This acrostical deni, for whose intentionality arguments are likewise adduced, evidently serves to corroborate acrostical decate. This deni‑acrostic is itself (...)

    ΛΥΣΙΜΕΛΗΣ: Überlegungen zu existenzieller Körperlichkeit und literarischen Strategien von Homer bis Platon.Thomas Kuhn-Treichel - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (1):1-25.
    The adjective λυσιμελής (“limb-loosening”) and related statements about bodies dissolving or melting are found in Greek literature in an astonishing variety of contexts, above all in relation to sleep, death and erotic desire. The present paper asks what made the idea of (limbs) loosening so attractive for authors and it traces their use from early Greek epic (Homer and Hesiod) through lyric (Archilochus, Alcman, Sappho, Ibycus, Anacreon and Pindar) to Plato’sPhaedrus. This brings several factors to light: the adjective and related (...)

    Come lavorava Lucano? Su possibili varianti d’autore nel Bellum civile.Ambra Russotti - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (1):70-91.
    That authorial variants survive in the transmission of the works of Lucan is a hypothesis legitimated by some objective data, yet the problem has been given very little attention in research since the important discussion by Fraenkel (1926). The present paper offers an analysis of the question that starts from the cases already identified and discussed by Fraenkel, adding some examples newly identified here. In particular, the goal is not to discuss single cases evaluated separately, but rather to examine the (...)

    Juvencus’ Präsenz im Proömium des Cento Probae: ein bisher unbemerkter Fall akustischer Imitation.Ana Clara Sisul - 2024 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 168 (1):92-105.
    In the prooemium of the Cento Vergilianus de Laudibus Christi of Faltonia Betitia Proba (lines 1–23) there are fragments not only of Vergil’s works but also of Lucan’s Bellum Civile and Juvencus’ Evangeliorum Libri. This article shows that in these lines Juvencus has a particular importance, for the references to his work increase until they reach a remarkable intensity in lines 22–23 and they stand out on different levels both formally and semantically. This thesis is supported by re-examining the origin (...)
