Calabria is a region where we may find many traces of very old settlements and the development of human civilization, because it was already inhabited during the Paleolithic Era. Its later, over two thousand years history is characterized by the influence of such ethno-cultural groups as the Greeks, the Brutti, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Saracens and the Normans. Hence, Calabria has become an infinite source of fascination for all who seek the remains of ancient times in Italy. The purpose of my article is to present the history of Scolacium – one of the ancient towns in the Italian province of Calabria basing, above all, on selected literary evidence on the issue. My studies concentrate mainly on pointing out the numerous references and allusions to its name and on the analysis of longer or shorter depictions of the town found in various Greek and Roman literary works and their application in a chronological reconstruction of the town’s past events as an example of historical processes observed on the territory of Magna Graecia.

L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que dans son poème De rerum natura, Lucrèce n’a pas seulement inclus l'éthique épicurienne, mais l’a intégrée autant que la partie majeure de son oeuvre. La présence, l’étendue et la forme des éléments épicuriens permettent de les considérer comme matériel suffisant qui justifie l’analyse effectuée. Dans la première partie de l’article, l’auteur démontre que Lucrèce – pour des raisons doctrinales – n’a pas pu interpréter uniquement la physique épicurienne et a construit son oeuvre comme une sorte de compendium de la totalité de la doctrine épicurienne. Dans la partie suivante, l’auteur montre l’ampleur de la synonymie éthique contenue dans le poème et les fragments de l'oeuvre analysée où l’éthique est largement débattue, en employant comme critère d’analyse le lexique du caractère éthique dans De rerum natura.

The Prometheus myth is an essential part of European culture, observed in each literary epoque, being variously interpreted and adopted. This article aims to examine the presence and meaning of the myth about the Titan in one of the works of Giacomo Leopardi La scommessa di Prometeo basing on both ancient and earlier Italian literary tradition in depicting the deity. Leopardi, well familiar with ancient and contemporary culture, rewrites the myth in the way to express his vision of human life. Although his idea seems original and new he obviously makes use of many motives already present in earlier tradition transforming them and reinterpreting to create a new and significant quality.
