Papers by Laura Massetti
Pythian Two, lines 52-56, which include a number of metaphorical expressions for Archilochus’ poetry of blame. I identify Indo-European phraseological parallels for δάκος ... κακαγοριᾶν (53) and βαρυλόγοις ἔχθεσιν (55). As Plato Laws 934d-935e reveals, metaphors found in P. 2.52-56 belong to the semantic field of ‘food/eating’. In this connection, I provide a comparative overview on the tie between verbal abuse and
gluttony in Greek and linguistically related traditions. Blame/praise-related food/drink images are the same: blame-metaphors often reverse praise-metaphors. The use of πιαίνομαι at Pi. P. 2.56 may offer an instance of the same process: the Indo-European root *peiH̯ - ‘swell’, from which πιαίνομαι is derived, underlies Greek Πιερίς and Vedic payi ‘swell’, which describe
prosperity associated with praise-poetry within the Greek and Old Indic traditions
domestic love-charm, the ἀγωγή (“a spell to lead [somebody] away”).
The same applies for Aeschylus’s Prometheus Vinctus 647–682 (Io’s
account of her metamorphosis). In both text passages, the love-charm
is described by means of a set of images, namely, the ‘arrow (of desire)’,
‘burning (fire)’ and ‘whip/goad’. While the very same associations
can be found in one Atharvavedic Hymn (3.25), some characteristics
of the love-charm occur in a more blurred form in an Eddic
mythical episode. In both the Old Norse and Greek text passages, the
submission of the beloved, caused by the love-spell, is expressed by
means of the Indo-European root *demh2- ‘to tame’.

The journal’s central topic is formed by the two closely related languages Tocharian A and B, attested in Central Asian Buddhist manuscripts dating from the second half of the first millennium AD. It focuses on philological and linguistic aspects of Tocharian, and its relation with the other Indo-European languages.
