Alla fonte delle muse: Introduzione alla civiltà greca
Qual period il volto che i Greci davano alle Muse? Che cosa si intendeva consistent with ispirazione poetica? Perché l. a. religione greca non aveva testi sacri? Che cos’era los angeles libertà according to los angeles democrazia antica? E soprattutto che senso ha, oggi, parlare ancora della civiltà greca? Nella maggior parte degli Atenei italiani l’insegnamento di Civiltà greca affianca ormai l. a. cattedra di Letteratura greca, con l’intento di rendere più accessibile un settore del sapere los angeles cui conoscenza, almeno nelle sue linee portanti, è ritenuta imprescindibile nella formazione di un operatore culturale.
Esportare la libertà: il mito che ha fallito
Da sempre i governi e gli stati coprono con altisonanti dichiarazioni i motivi spesso cinici che stanno alla base delle guerre da loro scatenate. Secondo Luciano Canfora, il proposito americano di esportare l. a. libertà in Iraq è solo l'ultimo esempio di questo oliatissimo meccanismo propagandistico. Sparta combatté l. a. guerra del Peloponneso sostenendo di voler liberare i Greci dall'oppressione ateniese; le guerre napoleoniche determinarono l. a. trasformazione della Francia rivoluzionaria in impero bonapartista; i conflitti regionali della Guerra Fredda (Vietnam, Medio Oriente, Afghanistan), furono sempre inseriti nel contesto di una lotta in keeping with l'affermazione della democrazia nel mondo.

On close reading, indeed, burlesque verse turns out to share with many of Michelangelo's other poems certain vital HUMOR, TRANSGRESSIONS, AMBIVALENCES elements like concrete language, thematic imagery, and structural complexity. The latter can appear intertextually, rather than just within the body of each text taken by itself, as evidence of the continuing debate our poet carried on within his own soul and mind.
Il de stinato parto / mi ferm'al tuo splendore," the destiny of my birth stops me in the presence of your splendor. In sonnet G 97 (whatever the constellation involved) the destiny of birth has earmarked the autobiographical persona for a calling that is at the same time lofty and dangerous. "Foco," fire, the very last word, summarizes the essence of that calling. Art, con nected as it is with beauty and eros, is a consuming fire with infernal as well as heavenly connotations; how else to account for its tormenting, guilt-ridden aspect?
0 God, ο God, ο God, who has taken myself away from me, and is now closer to me than myself and has more power on myself than I? he dramatically stated the nature of his experience of love: a seizure, a taking over of his self by an alien power. The poem excerpted above (G 8) matters because, in the early phase of his literary production (ca. 1511), it set forth an existential theme that was to dominate his writing through so many successive formulations. Decades later, we find it more PROTEAN EROS circumstantially restated in the reliable account that Donato Giannotti gives (in the first of his Dialogi) of Michelangelo's explanation for his own shyness: .
