Introduction
T
he new, thirteenth volume of “Scripta Classica” contains nine articles on a variety of topics. There are texts on poetry from Homeric hymns to lin- guistic aspects of Plautus’ language and the role of Erichtho in Lucan. Prose is represented by Pausanias’ story of Parthenon, the translation of Valerius Maximus’collection and remarks on Byzantine literature. A Latin text called Chirurgia parva from editio princeps of 1498 is ideally complemented by linguistic analysis of terms relating to madness. A few remarks on mythology in comics that depict the reception of antiquity complete this wide array of themes.
We are sincerely hoping that this varietas will delight our readers.
