The note by Lactantius Placidus to Stat. Theb. VII 330-1 Sweeney is full of references to Bacchylides: fr. 15 M. (the very beginning of a hyporchema to Athena Itonia), fr. 15a (the quotation of the epithet Alalkomenia) and a reference to the ode 23 M.; a new reading of the note permits to re-determine the nature and extension of the fr. 15a M. (not the epithet Alalkomenia, as Snell thought, but the very section et ipsam [sc. Minervam] Alalkomenen significavit) and to claim that the same Bacchylides’ ode (frr. 15 and 15a M.), probably, referred to both Athena Itonia and Alalkomene, whose sanctuaries were the most important in archaic Boeotia and very near to each other.

Abstract
The note by Lactantius Placidus to Stat. Theb. VII 330-1 Sweeney is full of references to Bacchylides: fr. 15 M. (the very beginning of a hyporchema to Athena Itonia), fr. 15a (the quotation of the epithet Alalkomenia) and a reference to the ode 23 M.; a new reading of the note permits to re-determine the nature and extension of the fr. 15a M. (not the epithet Alalkomenia, as Snell thought, but the very section et ipsam [sc. Minervam] Alalkomenen significavit) and to claim that the same Bacchylides’ ode (frr. 15 and 15a M.), probably, referred to both Athena Itonia and Alalkomene, whose sanctuaries were the most important in archaic Boeotia and very near to each other.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
