Descrizione

In a previous work entitled Proverbios oraculizados (Oraculized proverbs), I studied the occurrence of several proverbial sentences and expressions in the oracles of Delphi.
I observed that some of these phrases also appear in Greek paremiographers, while others are already attested in the gnomic poetry of the archaic period, which shares a particular affinity with mantic poetry. This second paper examines the presence of a larger number of such gnomic expressions in the Delphic oracles. Whether collected by paremiographers or not, all expressions being examined here have a common distinctive trait: the oracle provides the legendary explanation, that is, the aition, for each one. This way, combining their oracular function with their oracular origin enhances the prestige the Delphic reuse provides to gnomic expressions.
