Lucida intervalla: časopis za klasične nauke

Primary tabs

Lucida intervalla was founded by a group of members of the Department of Classical Studies in Belgrade in 1998, at the time when they perceived their reading and interpreting of ancient texts as sobering acts and breakouts from confusing reality. Hence the name of the journal. The initial idea was to provide students of Classics and general audience with reliable and up to date editions (introductions, original texts, translations, and commentaries) of important and not yet translated works of Greek and Latin literature. In the next 15 years more than 40 volumes were published. The focus of the journal gradually shifted from translations to scholarly contributions, while the proportion of contributions in languages other than Serbian increased slowly but steadily. Today Lucida intervalla is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to publishing original scholarly research in all areas of Classical Studies.

Drosilla and Charicles
Drosilla and Charicles
Nicetas Eugenianus` novel Drosilla and Charicles is the product of mimesis in two ways. First, it is modelled on classical novels and as an imitation of the novel Rhodanthe and Dosicles by Theodore Prodromus. Second, another characteristic is even more important than this change in the established genre. In the work of Prodromus, namely, there are numerous items from classical novel-writers, which were never marked as such. In the Eugenianus` text, however, there are two explicit allusions to a couple of classical novels whose protagonists are mentioned. Since this is a rare instance in Byzantine literature, its characteristics are worth analysing., Abstract ; Апстракт, Bibliografija: str. 175-176, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst
Duties and Epistolarity. Semantic Transformations of officium in Latin Epistolography (IV-V c.)
Duties and Epistolarity. Semantic Transformations of officium in Latin Epistolography (IV-V c.)
This paper deals with a group of Latin substantives which acquired a new meaning and became, in effect, synonyms for epistula in letter collections of the fourth and fifth centuries. The semantic development of these words, which designate in their original meaning as nomina abstracta the reciprocal character of some kind of relationship (family, friendship, patronage) is examined on the ground of semantic changes of officium, a concept of central importance for the Roman world. It has been demonstrated that officium as a common word denoting ‘a letter’ occurs for the first time in the correspondence of Q. Aurelius Symmachus and, later, in the letters of Christian authors of the fourth and fifth centuries. The rethinking of the concept of officium by Symmachus is viewed in the context of several fixed semantic oppositions that became an integral part of the content of the Christian letter., Abstract ; Апстракт, Bibliografija: str. 116, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst
Ego tecum tamquam mecum loquor (Cic. Att. VIII.14)
Ego tecum tamquam mecum loquor (Cic. Att. VIII.14)
U ovom radu data je sumarna jezička analiza Ciceronove prepiske u I i II knjizi Pisama Atiku. Naglašava se postojanje različitih »jezičkih nivoa«, koji su, s jedne strane, proizvod Ciceronove široke obrazovanosti i književnog angažmana, a s druge posledica prisnosti i spontanosti prepiske kao takve. Otuda fine igre rečima i govorničke figure neretko dolaze uporedo sa crtama svakodnevnog jezika.
Ein Blick auf die Götterepitheta der Orphischen Hymnen in Bezug auf die dichterische Tradition
Ein Blick auf die Götterepitheta der Orphischen Hymnen in Bezug auf die dichterische Tradition
Die Sammlung von 87 kürzeren hymnischen Texten, die unter dem Namen „Orphische Hymnen“ (OH) bekannt ist, zeichnet sich durch einem hohen Umfang an Götterepitheta aus, wovon ein großer Anteil durch neue Wortschöpfungen entstanden ist. Im Artikel wird der Einfl uss der früheren dichterischen Tradition (Homer, Hesiod, die Dramatiker) bei den monolexemischen Götterepitheta erörtert, sowie die Höhe der dichterischen Innovation der Hymnen im Bezug auf die nachfolgenden Autoren der Spätantike., Bibliografija: str. 246-247, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst, Zusammenfassung ; Abstract
Empedocles in the Aetna?
Empedocles in the Aetna?
The author discusses one unnoticed echo of Empedocles in the pseudo-Vergilian poem Aetna. The allusion opens a long periodic sentence (224–250), the end of which describes the pleasure of understanding natural phenomena through vocabulary borrowed from Lucretius’ De rerum natura. The allusion to Lucretius is certainly deliberate, and so is probably the allusion to Empedocles. The connection between understanding, divinity, and pleasure in Lucretian and Empedoclean intertexts enhances the meaning of the Aetna passage and puts it in a proper perspective. In addition to this, Vergil’s Georgics 2.475–502 confirms that, in a poem on natural phenomena, both Empedocles and Lucretius are likely to be associated with this particular nexus of ideas., Abstract ; Апстракт, Bibliografija: str. 89-91, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst
Eneja kao klasični model rimskog tragičkog junaka
Eneja kao klasični model rimskog tragičkog junaka
Kao koncentrisani izraz klasike Avgustovog veka, Vergilijev Eneja ustanovljuje merodavni obrazac herojskog tipa saobražen specifično rimskom konceptu tragičkog. Iako izmenjene političke i književnoistorijske prilike I v. n. e. lišavaju ovaj idealni tip njegovog aktualnog ideološko-političkog sadržaja, on zadržava neuzdrmanu poziciju književnog etalona herojske veličine, delujući, na osoben način, i na tragediografiju srebrnog latiniteta.

Filostratova Erotska pisma
Filostratova Erotska pisma
Fiktivno pismo nastalo je u retorskim školama u kojima se do tančina izučavala besednička tehnika i gde se raspravljalo isključivo o temama koje nisu imale gotovo nikakve veze sa realnim životom. Pisanje fiktivnih pisama bilo je popularno još u helenističko doba, a uzelo je maha naročito u periodu od prvog do trećeg veka naše ere. Cilj ovog rada jeste da predstavi Flavija Filostrata kao epistolografa i analizira njegovu zbirku pisama nastalu krajem drugog i u prvoj polovini trećeg veka.
Framing Turnus
Framing Turnus
The formula indicta causa is a technical legal term meaning “in the absence of the speech of the defense.” This paper proposes additional meanings of the phrase in Livy 1.51.9. Elsewhere in his work Livy thematically activates the morphology of the adjective indictus; frequent occurrences of both negations and forms of dicere are a discreet commentary on the ethical implications of judicial procedure in which the defense does not have (in-) the chance to address the court (dicere). In 1.49-52, however, the dominant imagery associated with Tarquin the Proud is of literal and figurative “imposition,” and the more recurrent prefix is the directional in-, not negational. This study argues in detail that the alternative, but not mutually exclusive, derivation of adjective indicta from the verb indicere considerably enriches literary interpretation of 1.49-52., Abstract ; Апстракт, Bibliografija: str. 129, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst

Hijacking Sophocles, Burying Euripides
Hijacking Sophocles, Burying Euripides
This paper identifies and analyzes several related, thematically significant tragedic resonances in Aristophanes’ Assemblywomen as exemplifying his shift from outright paratragedy to appropriation. His treatment of politicized gender and sexual tensions owes much both to Orestes-plays (Praxagora emerges as a comic Clytemnestra; the three old women as Erinyes) and to Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus. The abduction scene in Aristophanes is modeled on abduction of Oedipus, which elucidates the comedian’s attitude towards Sophocles., Abstract ; Апстракт, Bibliografija: str. 61-67, Napomene i bibliografske reference uz tekst
