Abstract
The article examines Lucy Hutchinson’s treatment of Cain and Abel in Canto Six of her biblical epic Order and Disorder. Hutchinson mobilises the classical tradition to elucidate the ...psychodrama of the fratricide Cain. Her imitation of four similes from Virgil’s Aeneid and Georgics, and the allegorical figure of Envy from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, helps to convey the dramatic shifts in Cain’s psychological and spiritual state. Moreover, Hutchinson’s evocation of the reprobate Cain’s restlessness through intertextual engagement with Virgil supports the Calvinist doctrine of double predestination. In Order and Disorder, Virgil and Ovid’s Roman poems are aids to embellishing and enhancing the narrative and theology of Hutchinson’s biblical epic.
The contributions to this volume on the Isis Book reassess current interpretations, highlight aspects of text, language, and style, and develop new lines of approach regarding the interpretation of ...this fascinating many-layered text, the last book of Apuleius' famous novel.

Some sociologists of religion think that countries in Central and Eastern Europe are expected quick and rapid secularization. Therefore it is interesting to continuously search out, how the ...religiosity of Slovakian youth is transformed against the background of continual social and culture changes. The main goal of the presented paper, based especially on its own empirical researches of 2006 and 2016, is a description related to the transformation of youth’s religiosity in Slovakia (an example of Spiš Diocese). The presented work is situated in the area of religion sociology and shows also the typology transformation of the sought out youth’s religiosity that is very useful. Empirical analyses are based on, linked to or compared with main models of changes in religiosity in the contemporary world.

This study of Callimachus' and Ovid's allusive practice offers a unique view of the application of one theory of allusion (based upon that of Conte, but subsequently expanded upon) to a Greek and ...Latin poet.
Este trabajo analiza la base mitológica que radica en el deambular inicial de Tomás Rodaja de la Novela del licenciado Vidriera. Durante este periplo el personaje se ve a sí mismo de vidrio. Se ...encuentra al principio de su camino con dos situaciones que recuerdan a los mitos de la Metamorfosis de Publio Ovidio Nasón: Deucalión y Pirra, y Níobe. Ambos comparten el elemento simbólico de la piedra en contraposición a la esencia vidriada del cuerpo de Tomás Rodaja. A su vez, esta oposición de materias propone un juego léxico que desenmascara al personaje de Ovidio en el propio licenciado Vidriera.
This study analyzes the mythological basis of the initial journey of Tomas Rodaja in Cervantes’s Novela del licenciado Vidriera. During his journey, Rodaja thinks of himself as made of glass. Yet, at the beginning of his travels, he encounters two situations that recall the Ovidian myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha, and that of Niobe, both of which include the symbolic element of stone, as opposed to the glass essence of Rodaja’s body. This opposition of elements is part of a lexical game whereby Cervantes unveils the person of Ovid in the licenciado Vidriera.
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.
