Dioniso y el toro: fuentes literarias y epigráficas

En el estudio de las inscripciones sobre Dioniso en el área de Beocia, sobresale un epígrafe especial hallado en Tespias (IG 7, 1787), que cita Θεοῦ Ταύρου. La posible relación de la inscripción con el dios Dioniso sigue siendo objeto de controversia y, sin embargo, no es tan extraña la vinculación entre este dios y el toro; así lo demuestran diversas fuentes: Nono de Panópolis en su Dionisíaca, Eurípides en Bacantes y Plutarco en De Iside et Osiride, entre otras. La asociación entre el rey-arconte, como responsable de presidir las fiestas y último representante del dios, la reina y el toro parece derivar de las asociaciones estatales de cultos mistéricos. Algunos mitos apoyan esta hipótesis en la medida en que la Antigüedad percibe al toro como símbolo de fertilidad y proliferación, aunque también de furia y peligro. Después de considerar estos argumentos, vamos a explorar la relación entre este animal y la figura de Dioniso.The study of inscriptions about Dionysus in the Boeotia area has unveiled a particular engraving, found in Thespis (IG 7, 1787), which quotes the following epigraph: θεοῦ Ταύρου. the possible link of the motto to the god Dionysus still remains in dispute, and yet, the inscription is quite revealing about the relationship between the god and the bull, as evidenced by various sources: Nonnus of Panopolis in his Dionysiaca, Euripides in Bacchae and Plutarch in De Iside et Osiride, among others. the association between the king-archon, as responsible for presiding the festivals and as ultimate representative of the god, the queen and the bull seems to derive from the state cults of mysteric associations. Some myths support this hypothesis, insofar as Antiquity perceived the bull as a symbol of fertility and proliferation, but also of fury and danger. Another considering these arguments, we will explore the relationship between this animal and the figure of Dionysus.Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) - Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Effectiveness of an intervention for improving drug prescription in primary care patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy:Study protocol of a cluster randomized clinical trial (Multi-PAP project)

This study was funded by the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias ISCIII (Grant Numbers PI15/00276, PI15/00572, PI15/00996), REDISSEC (Project Numbers RD12/0001/0012, RD16/0001/0005), and the European Regional Development Fund ("A way to build Europe").Background: Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects both on people's health and on healthcare systems. A key problem linked to multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which in turn is associated with increased risk of partly preventable adverse effects, including mortality. The Ariadne principles describe a model of care based on a thorough assessment of diseases, treatments (and potential interactions), clinical status, context and preferences of patients with multimorbidity, with the aim of prioritizing and sharing realistic treatment goals that guide an individualized management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention that implements the Ariadne principles in a population of young-old patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The intervention seeks to improve the appropriateness of prescribing in primary care (PC), as measured by the medication appropriateness index (MAI) score at 6 and 12months, as compared with usual care. Methods/Design: Design:pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. Unit of randomization: family physician (FP). Unit of analysis: patient. Scope: PC health centres in three autonomous communities: Aragon, Madrid, and Andalusia (Spain). Population: patients aged 65-74years with multimorbidity (≥3 chronic diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 drugs prescribed in ≥3months). Sample size: n=400 (200 per study arm). Intervention: complex intervention based on the implementation of the Ariadne principles with two components: (1) FP training and (2) FP-patient interview. Outcomes: MAI score, health services use, quality of life (Euroqol 5D-5L), pharmacotherapy and adherence to treatment (Morisky-Green, Haynes-Sackett), and clinical and socio-demographic variables. Statistical analysis: primary outcome is the difference in MAI score between T0 and T1 and corresponding 95% confidence interval. Adjustment for confounding factors will be performed by multilevel analysis. All analyses will be carried out in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: It is essential to provide evidence concerning interventions on PC patients with polypharmacy and multimorbidity, conducted in the context of routine clinical practice, and involving young-old patients with significant potential for preventing negative health outcomes.

Los ὅροι de Beocia que delimitan tierra sagrada del dios Dioniso

When, in ancient Greece, monuments that confirm the presence of sacred areas are not preserved, it is difficult to differentiate these sacred zones from those that were not. However, epigraphic texts sometimes offer valuable information on this point. This paper studies five inscriptions that delimit sacred areas of the god Dionysus in the Boeotian region: four of them come from the city of Thespiae, and one, from Thebes. In addition to the analysis of the texts themselves, the paper delves into certain historical events that influenced this region.Depto. de Filología ClásicaFac. de FilologíaTRUEpu

Dionysus and Dionysism in Pompeii

In Pompeii traces of worship of three triads have been found: one of them relates to Hercules, Bacchus and Venus. Devotion for represent the Dionysiac is visible through the gardens of the Pompeian domus, the most representative environment associated with Dionysus, because the naturalism and growth are elements, among others, that related to Pompeian people with the God; sometimes, the correspondence between the room and the divinity was achieved by masks and garlands that decorated columns and stucco and, even, statuettes of animals. The garden represented a place of rest, refuge and salvation in the Antiquity; it was a room into the domus that stimulated the connection between the religious conception and primitive naturalism. For example, the house of the Vettii (VI, 15, 1) summarises very well what was explained above. However, mural painting of interior of the houses is exactly the best way to convey the Dionysian taste: the union of Dionysus and Ariadne, their history and myth were widely covered in the walls of the Pompeian domus (as is known, the abandonment of the the girl by Theseus and the subsequent discovery of the youth by the God). There is also an abundance of iconography of the couple with their respective attributes. Of course, representations of Dionysus like sovereign and triumphant God are evident, as it can be seen in the famous mosaic of Dionysus child on beast found in the house of the Faun (VI, 12, 2). It is common to find frescos with his entourage and his faithful companions: for instance, in the houses of Lucrezio Frontone (V, 4, a) and Gavius Rufus (VII, 2, 16-17). The lararios were also appropriate places to recreate the Dionysian atmosphere, because Lar was introduced in the cortege of the God, as it can be seen in the caupona of Lucius Vetutius Placidus (I, 8, 9) or in the house of Centenary (IX, 8, 3). The oscilla, given their propitiatory intentions for festivals or planting and harvest time, were a sculptural way by which the divinity also represented; like pinakes of marble, that represented theatrical masks and Dionysus himself, subtle indicators that the festive mood inherent divinity was present in the daily lives of Pompeian people. Even in the temple of the goddess Isis (VIII, 7, 28), the guarantee testimony of oriental cult in Pompeii, there was also Dionysian presence, which should not be surprising, on the other hand, because there is an identification of Dionysus with the Egyptian God Serapis. Without any doubt, the two clearest manifestations of the Dionysism was developed in Pompeii are the temple of the deity, was built around the 3rd Century B.C., outside the city walls, and the famous frescos from the villa of the Mysteries, some paintings that appear to narrate the initiation of one (or two) women in the Bacchic Mysteries. However, if Bacchanalia were forbidden in Rome and Campania in 168 B.C. and the frescos of the Mysteries have been dated around 60-50 B.C., are fully accepted the Consult Senate de Bacchanalibus? Was, therefore, the cult of Dionysus settled and forgotten?Depto. de Filología ClásicaFac. de FilologíaTRUEpu
