As Tsagalis proclaims at the beginning of his study: `the Iliad begins with pain and suffering... And ends with pain and suffering'. Death is presented as a dynamic force and laments are an essential part of the narrative. This detailed study, which assumes a good knowledge of Greek, closely scrutinises selected passages from the Iliad to compare the style, language and dramatic devices of the laments and to discuss what they reveal about different approaches towards death. The personal laments of Agamemnon, Andromache, Thetis, Briseis, Achilles, Priam, Hecuba and Helen are discussed in particular detail. Extracts are presented in Greek and English but many individual quotes are not translated. ; Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte, band 70; 231 pages

224 pages; This book provides a detailed picture of the life of these Greek mercenaries, analyzing who they were and from what section of society they came. It explores their motivations, their relationships and connections, both with each other and those with whom they served, and shows how mercenaries were recruited, paid and maintained. Matthew Trundle reviews a variety of evidence, including Xenophon's detailed account of how over ten thousand Greeks tried and failed to establish the Persian prince Cyrus on his brother's Imperial throne, the fragments of a fourth century play about the first ever soldier of fortune, and inscriptions prohibiting Athenians from taking service with their neighbours. The result is a fresh look at the significance of mercenaries in ancient Greek society, economy and politics, and their part in the process that shaped the great Empire of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic world.
In -4°, pp. (20), 82, (2). Marocchino, fregi dorati ai piatti e al dorso. Il conte Enrico Trivelli (1709-1737) fu un turbolento intellettuale e poeta napoletano, con ascendenze abruzzesi. La famiglia era di Vasto, ma trasferitasi temporaneamente a Napoli, dove nacque Enrico, che però compì gli studi nella cittadina abruzzese, dove la famiglia era tornata pochi anni dopo la sua nascita. Tornò a Napoli e poi andò a Roma dove, indebitato e in ristrettezze, si impiegò come copista presso la bottega di Martorello e Martino Dominici. Autore di poesia umoristica, satira, pasquinate, dialoghi irriverenti fra cardinali, sonetti contro la Chiesa cattolica e opere politiche. Si attirò il dispetto delle autorità politiche ed ecclesiastiche, compreso Clemente XII, e fu decapitato davanti a Castel Sant’Angelo, “per composizioni di scritture malediche e sediziose contro il Pontefice della Santa Sede”. Questo trattato è l’unico vero e proprio volume pubblicato dal Trivelli, che nello stesso anno aveva pubblicato anche un opuscolo celebrativo proprio di Clemente XII (la “Canzone del conte Errico Trivelli per l’esaltazione di N.S. Papa Clemente XII”, Firenze, 1732, della quale però non si conoscono copie complete): il trattato in sé è un fitto concentrato di erudizione retorica e letteraria, nel quale spicca l’affollamento di riferimenti, di citazioni e di autori rammentati, sia nell’ambito della composizione in volgare (da Dante, Petrarca, Ariosto, a Castiglione, Sannazzaro, Marino “e i suoi poco giudiziosi seguaci”), della critica (Valla, Muratori), degli autori classici (l’elenco dei citati è impressionante considerata la relativa esiguità del testo; numerose le citazioni composte in caratteri greci). Al di là dell’intento esibitorio condotto nel testo dal giovane Trivelli nei confronti del lettore, sono numerosi gli spunti e i dettagli originali, nell’arco del trattato: un esempio su tutti può essere la segnalazione di un’“improprietà” in un componimento del Sannazzaro (“non condonabile” la definisce T.), la seconda egloga, in cui il poeta pecca di superficialità nel tempo della narrazione, visto che la notte subentra al “mezzo giorno”, secondo Trivelli, “in brevissimo spazio di tempo, in cui appena Montano, ed Uranio avevan potuto far un colloquio di pochi versi”: la parte più originale del libro è proprio quella in cui l’autore, ambizioso e “scapestrato” si dedica a criticare speciosamente alcuni passi di autori, senza risparmiare dalla sua lente Ariosto, Tasso, Ovidio e via dicendo. L’urgenza di ottenere riconoscimento è peraltro confermata dalla collezione di testi che fanno da prefazione alla “Lettera” vera e propria, firmati Matteo Egizio (con lettera e replica dell’autore, a sua volta inclusa nel volume), Tommaso Bugassi, Matteo Piccoli Lettor Celestino. Nobile e letterato di area napoletana, il Francesco Caraffa (sc. Carafa) destinatario della “lettera” aveva pubblicato nel ’30 una poderosa raccolta di “Rime varie… Composte nella sua solitaria dimora nel monte Caprario della baronia di Formicola” (Firenze, 1730). Una nota manoscritta al recto del foglio di guardia anteriore recita “Ad usum Friderici Valignani ex dono Authoris…” Valignani (Chieti, 1700 – Torrevecchia Teatina, 1754) era considerato un letterato piuttosto illustre, che ebbe contatti con molti personaggi importanti dell’epoca (uno su tutti il Muratori, citato moltissime volte nella “Lettera” del Trivelli), e nel 1720 aveva fondato la “Colonia Tegea” dell’Arcadia Romana (accademia nella quale era stato accolto anche Trivelli, a Roma, col nome di Idasio Nivalgo. D’interesse la pagina degli imprimatur, che chiude il volume, e comprende la nota di approvazione del Vico. La nota manoscritta che precede il volume prosegue – da altra mano – “Qui Roma ob satyram in Clementem XII Pont: Max severi percussus fuit frustra ante mortem elegenti carmine eniam petente quam tamen assecutus fuerit a clementis principe si ipsa carmina ad aures opportuno tempore pervenissent.” Count Enrico Trivelli (1709-1737) was a turbulent thinker and poet, from Naples but with ancestry from Abruzzo, in Central Italy. In Rome, where he was living in poverty, emploied himself as a copyst in Dominici Brothers’ typography. Humour and satyric writer, he clashed against Vatican, included pope Clemente XII, and he was beheaded in front of Castel Sant’Angelo because of his “seditious” compositions against the Pope. This work is the only real volume ever published by Trivelli: it’s a dense concentrate of rethorics and erudition, with a large number of captions and mentions of authors from Italian, Latin, Greek and classic tradition. Beyond its meaning to exhibit knowledge, the book contains some original thoughts and interesting details. A manuscript note before the title page: “Ad usum Friderici Valignani ex dono Authoris…” Valignani was a well considered literary man with relations with many contemporary important personalities (as the Muratori, for instance). On “imprimatur” page there’s also the authorization to print by Giovan Battista Vico.
