Ancient lexica provide a passage from Aristophanes which has always been controversial: the first part is very similar to Aristoph. Nub. 969, so many scholars restored the text and proposed an identification with Clouds’s line; the second part offers allusions to Democritus and Theoxenides, poets of late v century. In this article I would explore the possibility that the two parts belong to the same fragment, maintaining in l. 1 the text of the manuscripts, and adopting in l. 2 Blaydes’ correction ἐξαρμονίως, i.e. “from mode to mode”. Furthermore, I would suggest that the quotation is from the first edition of Aristophanes’ Clouds.

Abstract
Ancient lexica provide a passage from Aristophanes which has always been controversial: the first part is very similar to Aristoph. Nub. 969, so many scholars restored the text and proposed an identification with Clouds’s line; the second part offers allusions to Democritus and Theoxenides, poets of late v century. In this article I would explore the possibility that the two parts belong to the same fragment, maintaining in l. 1 the text of the manuscripts, and adopting in l. 2 Blaydes’ correction ἐξαρμονίως, i.e. “from mode to mode”. Furthermore, I would suggest that the quotation is from the first edition of Aristophanes’ Clouds.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
