Com. Adesp. fr. 1008 K.-A.: un esempio di prologo innovativo?

Com.Adesp. fr. 1008 K.-A. is a witness of a play from the New Comedy, preserved on the back of P.Strasb. inv. G 53, which was edited by Georg Kaibel in 1899. It partially contains 29 verses in iambic meter by an unknown poet. The text is part of a prologue pronounced by an anonymous character, who has been identified as a god by some scholars: he seems to explain the function of divine prologues in the plays and he gives some information about the antecedents of the plot. This paper proposes to lay some new bibliological and palaeographic groundwork for the dating of the papyrus and for the discussion about evidence provided by the fragment, which could establish the authorship

Detection of emotions in Parkinson's disease using higher order spectral features from brain's electrical activity

Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) involving cognition and emotion have been progressively receiving more attention in recent times. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, being an activity of central nervous system, can reflect the underlying true emotional state of a person. This paper presents a computational framework for classifying PD patients compared to healthy controls (HC) using emotional information from the brain's electrical activity

Com.Adesp. fr. 1008 K.-A.: un esempio di prologo innovativo?

Com.Adesp. fr. 1008 K.-A., preservato dal P.Strasb. inv. G 53, databile al I d.C. (ovvero al secolo successivo), restituisce una rhēsis prologica, che, per il contenuto, può essere divisa in due parti: nella prima (vv. 1-15), sono fornite informazioni sull’identità del Prologsprecher e si criticano i prologhi espositivi lunghi e verbosi che non facilitano al pubblico la comprensione della trama; nella seconda (vv. 16-29), attraverso la narrazione delle avventure in una terra straniera di due fratelli, la persona προλογίζουσα (forse Dioniso) illustra all’uditorio gli antefatti della vicenda scenica. In ragione delle rivendicazioni di originalità poetica espresse nella prima sezione del brano, si è cercato di valorizzare la componente ‘innovativa’ di tale rhēsis, ritenuta da molti una sorta di anello di congiunzione tra i prologhi espositivi della ‘Commedia nuova’ e quelli a carattere critico-letterario del teatro terenziano. Scopo di questo intervento sarà quello di offrire, attraverso una nuova indagine bibliologica e paleografica, una più precisa proposta di datazione del pezzo e di passare in rassegna le varie ipotesi circa la possibile provenienza dei versi, da taluni critici ascritti agli Ἀνεψιοί di Menandro, sulla base di argomenti tutt’altro che solidi

La cecità di Fineo: la conseguenza di un atto di ὕβρις o l’espiazione di una colpa di sangue?

The mythical story of Phineus, the famous blind seer who, in the Argonauts’ saga, was consulted by the hero Jason and his companions during their voyage to Kolchis, is highly complex due to many variants attested. The aim of this paper is to offer an exhaustive and easily intelligible account of the various explanations of Phineus’ blindness elaborated by the mythographic and erudite literature. The present analysis will also consider the dramatic treatment of such a peculiar myth in Aeschylus’ and Sophocles’ fragmentary plays

La ‘morte in vita’: spunti e riflessioni su un motivo letterario

For the Greeks, a life without pleasure was thought to be a ‘death-in-life’. This is a commonplace literary theme, which can be found in Plato’s dialogues, in Tragedy (Sophocles and Euripides) and in Comedy (Aristophanes and other fragmentary poets)
