Tale prospettiva di indagine ha finora toccato solo marginalmente la figura di Giovanni Tzetze: pare infatti ancora pienamente attiva la considerazione della retorica di esaltazione dalla sua opera e denigrazione di quella altrui (autori antichi o coevi), che costella i suoi lavori, come sfogo sinceramente autobiografico, prodotto di (in)sofferenze di natura prevalentemente emotiva o al più di un concreto stato di isolamento ed estrema difficoltà. L’analisi di una serie di questi testi permette invece di riconoscervi il frutto di uno specifico progetto autopromozionale, attuato grazie a quella che si potrebbe definire ‘retorica dell’eccellenza’, e finalizzato alla costruzione di un ‘marchio tzetziano’, un manifesto dell’unicità del lavoro di Tzetze all’interno del competitivo mercato della produzione intellettuale coeva.

The tradition preserves nine fragments under the name of Demo. These fragments are transmitted respectively by the scholia to the Iliad, precisely the classes of D-Scholia and Exegetical scholia, by the Parekbolai on Homer’s Iliad and on Homer’s Odyssey of Eustathius of Thessalonica, and by the scholia to Lucian. There are also four testimonies about Demo respectively in the Suda lexicon, in the Allegories of the Iliad and of the Odyssey by John Tzetzes, and in a letter of the Byzantine physician, rhetor and scholar Michael Italicus. The fragments contain the interpretation of some passages of Iliad and Odyssey. These interpretations consist in tracking down in the Homeric text, by means of a systematic application of substitutive allegoresis, hidden allusions to physical-astronomical phenomena, which are frequently presented in detail and by way of lexicon and definitions characteristic of scientific-specialized contexts. A global reconsideration of this female scholar based on an accurate analysis of the texts transmitted under her name results to be essential in order to remove the “chronogical prejudice” weighing on her, starting from Ludwich’s edition in the early 1900s. Ludwich indeed collocated Demo in the 5th c. AD (see A. Ludwich, Die Homerdeuterin Demo. Zweite Bearbeitung ihrer Fragmente, in “Verzeichnisse der auf der Königl. Albertus-Universität zu Königsberg zu haltenden Vorlesungen”, Königsberg 1912-1914, pp. 70-74). His proposal of chronogical collocation was based exclusively on a terminus post quem contained in a fragment of an allegorical commentary of Il. 1, 1-56 (transmitted by the ms. Wien, ÖNB, phil. gr. 49, ff. 8r.-12r.). However, the attribution of this exegetical work to Demo does not find any convincing foundation and, hence, needs to be overcome (see introd. § 5.2). Although some scholars raised doubts on Ludwich’s dating in the past, nevertheless it has by now become a common habit to adopt a low chronology for Demo, which unavoidably leads to consider her like a mere compiler of prior exegetical materials. On the contrary, the considerations transmitted under Demo’s name suggest to situate her work in the Hellenistic period, perhaps in a Rhodian context, around the 1th c. BC or in the early imperial age, at most. Furthermore, the fragments do not show any sign of (more or less) mechanical compilation, but display remarkable characteristics of internal coherence and cohesion.

These errors appear to be strictly analogous or maybe in some way connected with the similar inconsistencies that affect the text of the closest parallel, namely, two loan problems of P.Mich. III 145 fr. 3 col. vii.1–4 (probl. 1) and 5–7 (probl. 2).

Il. I 18 has traditionally been identified as evidence of the original spirit of Aristarchus’ thought (~ κατὰ μὲν Ὅμηρον) as opposed to the allegorical interpretation (κατὰ δὲ ἀλληγορίαν), the latter in turn, and variously, traced back to Crates’ exegetical-philological activity. However, the text of the scholium cannot be taken as evidence in support of such a hypothetical scenario, either considered in itself or in light of the other sources.

A more controversial and less often considered question is whether, in these same ‘scholastic courses’, this basic knowledge also encompassed geometrical and metrological calculations in the form of ‘problems’ (which are typical of the papyrological mathematical tradition). Only a few witnesses to the latter type of texts in Greek have characteristics that would most likely associate them with instructional contexts. The four oldest of these date between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD and are of proven or hypothetical Fayumic provenance. Although they are few in number, these witnesses attest to certain practices in the teaching of mathematics, at least in this historical-geographical context, which are worthy of note.

P.Aberd. 12 is the only papyrological attestation of a peculiar type of catalogue-text (otherwise attested only in two extracts, one included in the Aratus Latinus, another in the scriptio inferior of the palimpsest known as the Codex Climaci Rescriptus) with 'markedly Hipparchan' technical features and data. It can therefore be regarded as one of the rare testimonies of the 'astronomy of Hipparchus' and of his legacy. P.Aberd. 127 is part of the same papyrus as P.Gen. 3.123 and joins the witnesses of the peculiar astrological category of 'Sothis texts'. The content of our two Aberdeen fragments and the reunification of P.Aberd. 127 with the Geneva fragment provide further clues about their likely provenance from a context such as Soknopaiou Nesos or more generally a settlement in the Fayum, which was hypothesized by the editor princeps for the bulk of the Aberdeen papyri.

literary criticism of the poetic work as such, which was defined by Aristotle himself in his Poetics and was likely to inform also the hermeneutic approach of the lost Homeric Problems. Therefore, the identification of this potential difference of perspective should warn us not to automatically consider each reference to the Homeric text by Aristotle (in either his direct and indirect tradition) as an echo or a testimony of the original content of the Homeric Problems.

The success of these texts over the course of the tradition is one of the main signs that suggest the diffusion of this subject matter in non-specialist contexts. According to the sources, the practical-applied benefit of such knowledge, above all in terms of ‘time reckoning’, seems to be at least one of the – certainly multiple and varied – reasons for this diffusion, and perhaps not the least significant one.

This relationship develops along two main distinct and autonomous (but somehow complementary) lines, which we will refer here metaphorically as ‘way there’ (science [dis cusses or] ‘uses’ Homer) and ‘way back’ (Homeric scholarship ‘uses’ science), without any indication of chronological priority and with pure reference to the two opposite perspectives they represent. These dynamics, both equally originated by the cultural prestige associated with Homer, will be presented through the discussion of some very representative cases.
