Descripción del proyecto
Una gran historia tras un texto poco conocido
Todavía se desconoce el autor y la fecha de composición de las «Líticas órficas». En este contexto, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Or.Li.N.E. estudiará dicho poema sobre las virtudes milagrosas de veintinueve piedras. El objetivo es proporcionar un estudio global sobre este texto poco investigado, del cual todavía nos falta información hoy en día, y aportar un texto crítico fiable y una traducción fiel del poema accesible a todos. Se presentará un comentario filosófico, histórico y literario extenso, que arrojará luz sobre el significado exacto de este texto poco conocido. El aspecto más innovador del proyecto es el intento de proponer una nueva interpretación exhaustiva del poema, a partir de la hipótesis de que su composición tuvo lugar a finales del siglo IV a. C. en el ámbito de los filósofos paganos, amigos y seguidores del emperador Juliano (331–363 a. C.).
Objetivo
The Orphic Lithika constitute a short poem in hexameters (774 lines) about the miraculous virtues of 29 stones, the author and the date of composition of which remain unknown. The aim of my research is to provide an overall study of this relatively poorly studied text, which is still lacking today: a reliable critical text, a faithful translation of the poem accessible even to non-classicists, and an extensive historical-literary and philosophical commentary which sheds light on the exact significance of a little-known text and its context of production. The methodology and approach that I will implement for the constitution of the text, the translation and the commentary will be traditional. The most innovative aspect of my work will consist in the attempt to propose a new comprehensive interpretation of the poem, starting from the hypothesis of its composition at the end of the 4th century AD within the milieu of the pagan philosophers who were friends and followers of the emperor Julian (361-363) – also known as “the Apostate” due to his failed attempt to restore pagan religious traditions in a Roman Empire which, by his times, had largely become Christianized. This project will enhance my creative and innovative scholarly potential and enable me to diversify my individual competence in terms of new skills acquisition, thanks to advanced training and international mobility. This would by in full conformity to the spirit and mission of the Marie Curie actions.
