Prometeo (e Pandora) in Esiodo
digital
Anno:
2012
In his double narration of myths related to Prometheus, Hesiod proves to rework traditional narratives in different ways. This is particularly true with regard to the Pandora of the Works and Days, in which the author is probably overlapping two different figures: the ‘beautiful evil’ sent by gods to men, and the progenitor of the female gender...

Il Prometeo satiresco di Eschilo: Pyrkaeus o Pyrphoros?
digital
Anno:
2012
The paper offers a survey of the surviving fragments of Aeschylus’ lost satyr-play Prometheus (staged in 472 BC), including those assigned to the play by conjecture. The analysis of the content (especially of the papyrus fragments grouped under nr. 204 Radt) confirms the view that the drama focused on the theft of the fire by Prometheus; but probably aetiological elements, concerning the invention of the torch-race and the role and behaviour of the messengers, were also involved in the action...

Among several references to Prometheus which can be found in Western civilization between late Middle-Ages and Renaissance, the works of Giovanni Boccaccio (as a mythographer), Piero di Cosimo (as a painter), and Francis Bacon (as a philosopher), far from being simply summaries of traditional themes, offer original versions of the Promethean symbol...
