My paper is aimed at understanding whether and to which extent the Greco-Roman Antiquity as such can become a tool for telling a submerged history and for bringing forth its non hegemonic subjects. I will take into consideration a collective experience conducted by a theatre company in the south of Italy during the summer of 2018. Through a workshop involving immigrant people in the city of Palermo, Ali Farah, a Somali-Italian writer, staged an experimental rewriting of Sophocles’ Antigone, which starts from the telling of personal stories of migration through the Mediterranean sea. Grounding my analysis in the comparison between Antigone’s defiance of the power and the crossing of borders, I will underline the revolutionary message that the rewriting of this myth in contemporary Fortress Europe delivers.

This concession was probably made in the early IV century BC but it was graved on the stone at the end of the same century. Indeed, the altar is to be dated around the end of the IV century BC, after the earthquake that damaged the first altar, probably also built by the Chiotes and cited by Herodotus in 2.135. Though the concession of this privilege by the inhabitants of Delphi is very common, the monumental dimensions and the function of the altar offered by the Chiotes makes it quite extraordinary. Nevertheless, we must spoke of a relative priority, since the inhabitants of Delphi remained the first ones to consult the oracle of Apollo.

Tale cittadinanza è sottoposta ad alcune condizioni specifiche: i beneficiari della politeia dovranno essersi precedentemente iscritti ai registri della città e aver superato la conseguente dokimasia. Oltre alle
popolazioni sopraccitate sono accolti all’interno della comunità cittadina i figli di donne di Falanna e uomini stranieri. Segue l’elenco dei nomi dei beneficiari del decreto, circa una cinquantina di persone tra cui alcune coppie di fratelli. Le circostanze storiche che portarono alla concessione della cittadinanza sono probabilmente riconducibili a un calo demografico che colpì la città tessala in quel periodo.
