Este artículo tiene por objeto interpretar el término synousia en el pasaje 16.14 en las Vidas de filósofos y sofistas de Eunapio de Sardes, el cual forma parte del espacio dedicado a Libanio de Antioquía. A través de un repaso por su conceptualización original en el ámbito de la paideia y de las comunidades de educación superior grecorromanas pretendemos clarificar su empleo por parte del rétor sardiano. De esta forma, después de analizar asimismo todas las ocurrencias del término en las Vidas, llegamos a la conclusión de que Eunapio emplea synousia como un término técnico en el contexto de la educación tardoantigua que comprende un significado en torno a la idea de íntima reunión académico-espiritual.

En el epigrama In Paniza, atribuido a Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, se agradece a Juan Domínguez de Paniza la donación a la Biblioteca del Real Colegio de España de un ejemplar de la Gramática Castellana de Nebrija; este impreso forma hoy en día la primera unidad codicológica del Cod. 132 de la mencionada biblioteca. El léxico rebuscado y el manierismo de este epigrama hace difícil su comprensión; por ello hemos tratado de elucidarlo mediante algunas consideraciones léxicas, sintácticas y estilísticas

Having defeated all his political enemies and expanded the rule of Rome enormously, Octavian, from 27 BC known as Augustus, ended the civil wars which had plagued the Late Republic and founded the system known as the Roman Principate. The Res Gestae purports to be a retrospective survey by Augustus of his own public achievements in restoring the res publica and conquering the world. It was published in Rome but the only surviving copies were found in the new and distant province of Galatia. In this paper I will try to explain how Augustus, as the founder of the new era known today as ‘the Roman Empire’, envisages and presents Roman rule under his leadership by analysing the content of the Res Gestae. From it we can see that there indeed emerges a concept similar to our ‘empire’. The narrative structure of the Res Gestae shows that Roman imperial rule is conceived of by Augustus in a scheme of core-periphery, in which the core is composed of the provinces under direct Roman control, while the periphery is an area of more vaguely subject people or places maintained by threats and intervention, or more weakly by ‘friendship’ (amicitia), which vary according to the historical specifics of contact between these areas or peoples and Rome. In both cases, whether subjection is in the name of the ‘rule’ or  the ‘friendship’ of Roman people, it is Augustus’ personal authority that appears to matter the most, which indicates that Augustus’ institution of a monarchic system was a decisive element in the development of this new holistic concept of Roman imperial rule.

The paper analyzes role and reputation, words and behaviors, duties and activities of the female figures described and quoted in Plutarch’s Apophthegmata Laconica. Depending on status and context, the role played by women in Spartan families and society seems to be fundamental for several reasons, in crucial situations and in different historical periods. And Plutarch, relating anecdotes, customs and sayings of the Spartans, allows to identify a remarkable variety of perspectives on women and their field of action. So, the internal and external focus on Spartan women’s everyday life helps to show the female loyalty to a Spartan ‘system of values’, through a series of aphorisms that outline the contribution of women to the historical and political experience, tradition and literary narration of Sparta over the centuries.

Embora o Suda atribua a Calímaco a composição de tragédias, a crítica moderna costuma ser cética quanto a essa informação, tendo em vista que suas supostas peças não chegaram até nós, bem como não foi preservado fragmento algum. O testemunho do Suda é posto em dúvida por conta da incompatibilidade entre a gravidade do gênero trágico e o conceito de poesia delgada defendido no Prólogo aos telquines. Calímaco menciona a tragédia em duas ocorrências no livro de Jambos, além de compor cinco epigramas nos quais discute a performance dramática nos festivais dionisíacos e a utilização das peças em contexto escolar. O presente artigo pretende investigar esses textos com o intuito de demonstrar que não haveria uma recusa de Calímaco à tragédia, mas rejeição a um estilo de composição considerado elevado e bombástico.

El objetivo de este trabajo es describir y analizar la “Lección VI. Del Imperio Romano”, que forma parte de la obra titulada Lecciones instructivas, escrita por Tomás de Iriarte y publicada póstumamente en Madrid, en 1794, obra que tuvo posteriores reediciones. Iriarte fue y es reconocido en el mundo literario por sus Fábulas literarias. Sin embargo, afortunadamente, también se está investigando su labor como humanista, la que lo vincula con el pasado clásico, dentro de la cual habría que enmarcar la obra que aquí analizamos. Estas Lecciones instructivas no han recibido la atención que merecen de la crítica literaria, menos esa Lección VI relacionada con la historia antigua de Roma y que debe verse como ejemplo de pervivencia del Mundo Clásico. Nuestra intención en este trabajo es hacer un primer acercamiento a la misma, describir su contenido, contextualizarla dentro de la concepción historiográfica imperante en el siglo XVIII con otros textos similares, antiguos o coetáneos, que pudieron servir de modelo a Iriarte, sobre todo en relación con la finalidad que perseguía, ya que Iriarte no aporta información alguna sobre las posibles fuentes. Asimismo, se insiste en la función pedagógica para la que fue concebida, especialmente por el público al que iba dirigida.

Strabo (14.2.28), commenting on the Homeric term barbarophonoi, upholds the onomatopoeic origin of barbaros and outlines an history of its usage, which goes from the meaning of “speak roughly” to the one of “mispronunciation” of Greek. In order to interpret the passage, pertinent texts from the medical and acoustic-musical are commented; concluding thus, that Strabo knows the reflections on the voice and language that lead him to a definition of barbaros based, mainly, on a linguistic criterion.
