Modern scholarship has attributed these texts to three different authors: John Pediasimos, John Protospatharius and John Diaconos Galenos. However, the analysis of the content shows that they were all written by the same author, probably John Pediasimos. In this paper I will offer several arguments in support of his authorship: the internal coherence of the texts, the textual transmission, the analysis of the titles of the manuscript of Hesiod by Demetrius Triclinius, which is the earliest source for most of these writings, and the adequacy of the content to the so far known oeuvre of John Pediasimos. The conclusion of this paper will be the creation of a coherent corpus of writings that will add to the understanding of the reception of Michael Psellos and Hesiod in the early Palaiologan Era. This paper will also shed light on the scholiastic work of John Pediasimos and will pave the way for further research on his scholarly network and teaching practice.

This suggests that the author of the dithyrambs Philoxenus of Kythera (ca. 435-380 BC) may have also been the author of the proverb quoted by Plutarch: “The head of the octopus contains something bad, but also something good”. The Dinner or Δεῖπνον of Philoxenus and the Phaon of Plato Comicus reveal that octopus was a main dish at the dithyrambist’s feasts. The poet Macho (VIII BC) relates that Philoxenus died from intoxication with octopus. Philoxenus' gluttony and his episodes at the court of Dionysus I of Syracuse made him a proverbial character, as the Paremiographers Zenobius and Diogenianus attest. Thus, there is reason to believe that the saying recorded by Plutarch can be attributed to Philoxenus of Kythera. The study concludes with a note on phonetics.

This allegorical interpretation was considered anonymous, until the treatise was found in two manuscript copies which date back to the early XIV century. I will add some notes on the authorship of the document. Finally, I offer a history of its textual transmission and some disquisitions on literary theory.

For this purpose, every account quoting a character called Philoxenus since the first mention by Aristophanes has been collected. The research has revealed that there are several individuals carrying the same name and common features. However, the review of these testimonies reveals the existence of only one dithyrambist: Philoxenus of Cythera. Furthermore, we believe that this poet was the author of the dithyramb Δεῖπνον, which some publishers wrongly attributed to Philoxenus of Leucas. Later, we reflect on the identity of Philoxenus of Leucas, who we should probably identify with Philoxenus of Cythera, and the authorship of an ὀψαρτυσία. Finally, we will devote some final considerations to Philoxenus Pternokopides.
El presente estudio pretende resolver la controversia en torno a la identidad y procedencia del poeta Filóxeno, célebre ditirambógrafo del siglo V-IV a.C. Para ello, hemos recopilado todos los testimonios que citan a personajes con el nombre de Filóxeno desde la primera mención de Aristófanes. La investigación ha revelado que existen varios individuos con el mismo nombre y rasgos comunes. No obstante, el examen de estos testimonios revela la existencia de un único autor de ditirambos: Filóxeno de Citera. Además, creemos que este poeta fue el autor del ditirambo Δεῖπνον, que algunos editores atribuyeron falsamente a Filóxeno de Léucade. Posteriormente, reflexionamos sobre la identidad de Filóxeno de Léucade, quien probablemente debamos identificar con Filóxeno de Citera, y la autoría de una ὀψαρτυσία. Finalmente, dedicaremos unas últimas consideraciones sobre Filóxeno Pternokopides.

Stoicism, Neo-Platonism and pietas Christiana underlie this allegorical treatise, whose author was a Byzantine Odysseus from Philadelphia, Manuel Gabalas. Due to the discovery of his two still unpublished manuscript copies transmitting this document, it is necessary to elaborate a monographic study on this incomplete and unpublished text of the Palaeologan Renaissance (1261-1453).

of an enlightening epistle belonging to a larger collection of letters written by Manuel Gabalas in the early fourteenth century, which depicts and provides new data on the relationship between the Byzantine Empire and the Turkmen chieftains.

A textual analysis has shed some light on the matter and nowadays most claim with some certainty that Aeschylus was the author. However, no solid consensus exists over the nature of its dramatic genre. Our research seeks to take a fresh look at this debate and argue the case for considering the Dike Play to be a satyr play.

The volume offers a comprehensive, multi-tradition exploration of deification in Christian thought, spanning biblical roots, historical developments, and systematic theology. While praised for its depth and scope, the review notes certain gaps, such as limited attention to Spanish mysticism and non-textual expressions. Overall, the handbook is a landmark contribution to the renewal of a central theological theme. (Open Access: https://doi.org/10.15581/006.57.2.454).

Gabalas ve la perfección como fruto del esfuerzo ético y el uso del intelecto (nous), influido por el platonismo. Palamás, en cambio, propone una unión con Dios a través de sus energías divinas, centrando la experiencia espiritual en el corazón y la gracia. Ambos representan enfoques distintos dentro del debate teológico del Hesicasmo.

Homeric gods are interpreted as mental and psychological forces and activities (e.g., prudence, reason, internal dialogue), which influence Odysseus’ behaviour. Gabalas further interprets polytheism to manifestations of a singular divine entity, akin to the Christian Godhead. In this way, Gabalas emphasizes human freedom and moral accountability.

The conference seeks research that investigates the role of physical “things” in history. How are material culture, technology, and the physical environment entangled in historical processes? How has the physical world shaped and been shaped by forms of social life in the Eastern Mediterranean? How have ideas and emotions been put into practice and how have they been embodied in material objects (e.g. artifacts, relics, and manuscripts)? How could materiality in the Eastern Mediterranean differ from other regions?

The study is complete until 2021. It does not have a definitive redaction, that's why I am only offering the Index. I am happy to share the whole research with anyone interested in the topic. The study needs to be revisited with the information stemming from the new chronologies (particularly that of Prof. Nel Weggelaar).

It uses Egyptian, Hittite and Arzawa sources in relation to the Ahhiyawa. The inquiry is part of a much bigger research that requires further research and reflection, but may serve to anyone interested in the topic.

produced in the Hellenistic period and Late Antiquity by pagan, Jewish and Christian philosophers and theologians, when approaching to Ancient Greek epic poetry, Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, the Tanakh (OT) and the Christian Bible (NT). Subsequently, they will understand the intellectual environment and some oratory from this agitated period spanning the first five centuries of the millennium. Twelve lectures are designed to provide students with the necessary tools to analyze and compare the methods and modes of interpretation in Late Antiquity and to place the exegetes within their relevant
philosophical or metaphysical system. In this way, the exegetes are classified depending on their approach to the authoritative text that is being translated, commented upon and interpreted.

The course will take place on 27-28 May 2025 in Ghent and Brussels. It is intended for MA, ResMA and doctoral students in Classics, Ancient History, Ancient Civilizations, Byzantine studies, Medieval studies and related fields. Students must have a good command of Greek. The course offers an introduction into Greek palaeography from the Hellenistic period to the end of the Middle Ages and is specifically aimed at acquiring practical skills for research involving literary and documentary papyri and/or manuscripts. Participants will gain hands-on experience with original papyri housed at Ghent University Library and with manuscripts from the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels.
