Section 1 (by Paola Volpe) focuses on the Queen’s expression of grief in the dialogues with the Chorus, the Messenger and Darius, with special emphasis on the lexicon. Section 2 (by Giovanna Pace) focuses on the main functions of the chorus’lament (communication of information and expression of mourning), on its antiphonal structure and on its two different levels: the direct expression of sorrow and the description of the lament of entities and groups that are not in the scene.

characterization of the heroes and in the presentation of the episodes. In order to highlight the idea of a certain (generally large) quantity, Plutarch employs rhetorical expedients, such as impossibility of counting, accumulation of numerical data, combination of numerical indications with generic quantitative ones, comparison of inde nite quantities or measures, opposition between high and low quantities. Plutarch sometimes takes a critical approach to the historical numerical data: he is interested in their possible symbolic value and highlights the cases of instrumental use of numbers, with a special focus on the conventional nature of measurement systems.

arrangement (ἠδὲ †νομί(σ)-/ματα† πύργινα πάντ’ εὔθυνεν “and he (i.e. Darius) led †expeditions†, all against the towers”), founded on comparison with πολέμους πυργοδαΐκτους (105) e ηὔθυνε στρατόν (773).
Abstract. The paper aims to propose an interdisciplinary educational path for high school students, which, through the analysis of some passages from Greek poetry of the archaic and classical age (taken from Homeric poems, from lyric poets such as Ibycus and Pindarus and from the tragedian Aeschylus), leads to recognize the roles played by the numerical (or generally quantitative) indications and by the references to the activity of counting, as well as the rhetorical values of the statements about the impossibility of counting. The purpose of the path is the acquisition of awareness of the intersections between literature (in this case the Greek one) and mathematics.

The acquired competence, which arises from the practice of close reading and careful observation of the texts under study, in light of the ancient metric sources and the ancient tradition of lyrical texts, will contribute to the training of professionals able to study and understand, in a manner philologically founded, every type of poetic composition coming from ancient Greece. It will also allow the rigorous interpretation of the verses and the metrical arrangement of poetic texts. This specific skill can support both a more conscious teaching practice and a more specialized critical and editorial activity.
The announcement is in preparation. Its publication is expected by the end of June 2019.
