Abstract
The scholia vetera on Works 734–735 are transmitted not only by the manuscript tradition of Hesiod, but also by an entry of the Etymologicum Genuinum. The latter, hitherto largely ignored, offers in several places a better text than the scholia of the Hesiod manuscripts. Particularly significant is the presence of an unpublished fragment of Zeno, who is said to have recommended not copulating while drunk. Analysis of parallels and material-historical specificities of the scholarly tradition relating to Hesiod reveals that this passage should be included (at least as a dubium) among the fragments of Plutarch’s lost commentary on Hesiod’s Works and Days. Quite surprisingly, it is likely that Proclus is not involved in the transmission of this fragment at all.
Ringraziamenti
Desidero ringraziare vivamente il Prof. Franco Montanari, gli anonimi revisori e gli editori di Philologus per i preziosi suggerimenti e gli spunti di riflessione forniti. Questo lavoro è stato in larga parte concepito nell’ambito del mio percorso dottorale presso l’Università di Roma La Sapienza, e più precisamente nell’ambito di un proficuo soggiorno di ricerca presso l’Institut für Griechische und Lateinische Philologie della Universität Hamburg (“Etymologika”, Langzeitvorhaben der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Hamburg): rivolgo dunque un ringraziamento sentito anche nei confronti di queste due istituzioni e dei loro membri. Resta inteso che l’unico responsabile di eventuali errori/omissioni è il sottoscritto.
