The study follows fortunes of the famous Ancient Roman novel and its impact on the visual arts in the early modern period. Special attention is paid to the Rudolphine art and to the distinctive ...transformation of the theme of Cupid and Psyche at the court of the emperor. It deals with various changes in meaning of the iconography as it traveled through time, space, and different media and suggests diverse possible readings of works inspired by Apuleius's Golden Ass.
El artículo muestra y estudia tres nuevos fragmentos de las Metamorfosis de Ovidio hasta ahora desconocidos localizados en Italia, en el Archivio di Stato di Trento.
We study dynamics of two coupled periodically driven oscillators. The internal motion is separated off exactly to yield a nonlinear fourth-order equation describing inner dynamics. Periodic ...steady-state solutions of the fourth-order equation are determined within the Krylov–Bogoliubov–Mitropolsky approach and we compute the corresponding amplitude profiles.
Metamorphoses of these amplitude curves induced by changes of control parameters as well as the corresponding changes of dynamics are studied within the framework of theory of differential properties of algebraic curves. The major finding is that there is a very rich dynamics in neighborhoods of degenerate singular points.

This text explores the influence of Ovid’s account of Orpheus’ death in Metamorphoses on Snorri Sturluson’s account of Baldr’s death in Gylfaginning. In examining the similarities and differences ...between the two narratives, particular emphasis is placed on elements such as the invulnerability of a mythic protagonist, his tragic death resulting from the breaking of an enchantment, and his lamentation by the animate and inanimate forces of nature. While acknowledging the differences in the narratives, the author suggests that Snorri drew on a specific motif from Ovid’s work to enhance his own account of Baldr’s death. The text briefly touches on the complex relationship between classical and Norse mythology, highlighting the creative reinterpretation and adaptation of mythic themes in medieval literature. In conclusion, the author proposes that Snorri’s skillful synthesis of various sources reflects his role as a creative innovator within the living tradition of mythic storytelling.
Inserted in the cosmogonic theme,
poetically narrated by Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD) at the
beginning of his Metamorphoses, this study focuses,
more specifically, on the process of organization
and ...composition of the primordial elements that
shape the world, after the Chaos, the origin of
everything. The excerpt under analysis consists of
the hexameters from number 21 to 75, in Book I,
which succeed the description of the Chaos and
precede the anthropogony. In this thematic section,
one highlights the minerals, flora, and fauna, with
emphasis on the four primordial elements: fire, air,
earth, and water. With its distinction, the world
is being formed from a “recipe for life”, step by
step. Between Chaos and Cosmos, one traces, in
the Ovidian verses, the system of creation of the
world, searching expressive language resources
that compose these hexameters, regarding its
textual ordering. Therefore, between the order of
the world and the order of the verses, one considers
the imagery and the meaning effects aroused.
Moreover, this study presents a translation that
supports the literary analysis.
Inserido no contexto da cosmogonia, narrada poeticamente por Ovídio (43 a.C. – 17 d.C.) no início de suas Metamorfoses, este estudo volta-se, mais especificamente, ao processo de organização e composição dos elementos primordiais que enformam o mundo, após o Caos, a origem de tudo. O recorte em análise consiste nos hexâmetros de número 21 a 75 do Livro I, que sucedem a descrição do Caos e antecedem a antropogonia. No excerto, privilegiam-se os minerais, a flora e a fauna, com destaque aos quatro elementos primordiais: o fogo, o ar, a terra e a água. Com essa distinção, o mundo vai se enformando a partir de uma “receita da vida”, passo a passo. Entre o Caos e o Cosmo, procura-se traçar o sistema de criação do mundo, levantando recursos inventivos da linguagem que compõem os hexâmetros ovidianos, haja vista a ordenação textual. Portanto, entre a ordem do mundo e a dos versos, consideram-se a imagética e os efeitos de sentido suscitados. Ademais, o estudo apresenta uma tradução que apoia a análise literária.
This article explores metamorphic outcomes in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. While the poem may be steeped in constant mutability, for the most part gender emerges as a surprisingly static feature, and one ...that carries remarkable weight also when read beside the aftermaths of Ovidian transformations. Though there may be no fixed schema that categorically establishes disparities in the final destinations of male and female transformations, I show that there are significant gendered patterns with some perhaps unexpected consequences for class and social status also. In considering the poem’s main destinations, we can see distinct patterns of outcomes: heavily gender-based for trees, gender-significant (albeit not simply determined) for watercourses, gods, and stones, and gender-equal in the case of birds and other animals. The article tackles some of the unconscious gender preconceptions at play, and explores the enduring significance of gender for the Metamorphoses within the various outcomes of those who become victims, or occasionally beneficiaries, of Ovidian metamorphosis.
This article draws attention to the presence of a previously unnoticed transliterated telestich (SOMATA) in the transformation of stones into bodies in the episode of Deucalion and Pyrrha in Ovid's ...Metamorphoses (1.406–11). Detection of the Greek intext, which befits the episode's amplified bilingual atmosphere, is encouraged by a number of textual cues. The article also suggests a ludic connection to Aratus’ Phaenomena.
Il volume miscellaneo che qui si presenta è stato pensato da amici e colleghi non solo come omaggio a Paolo Mastandrea, ma anche e soprattutto come illustrazione delle innumerevoli prospettive aperte ...dai suoi studi: l’indagine dei meccanismi dell’intertestualità nel mondo antico; l’analisi filologica di tradizioni controverse; i numerosi problemi storico-letterari offerti dai testi della Tarda Antichità latina; l’esame della ricezione umanistica e rinascimentale dell’eredità classica. Non si è naturalmente trascurato il contributo cruciale portato dallo studioso alla teorizzazione e allo sviluppo, fin dagli anni Novanta, di strumenti informatici di ricerca testuale, la cosiddetta ‘galassia Musisque Deoque’, di cui si tiene conto in molti dei lavori presenti nel volume.
