Asymptote : an approach to decadent fiction
\"Asymptote: An Approach to Decadent Fiction offers a radically new approach to the psychology of Decadent creation. Rejecting traditional arguments that Decadence is a celebration of deviance and exhaustion, this study presents the fin-de-siلecle novel as a transformative process, a quest for health. By allowing the writer to project into fiction unwanted traits and destructive tendencies--by permitting the playful invention of provisional identities--Decadent creation itself becomes a dynamic act of creative regeneration. In describing the interrelationship of Decadent authors and their fictions, Asymptote uses the mathematical figure of the asymptote to show how they converge, then split apart, and grow distant. The author's approach to the facsimile selves he plays with and discards is the curve that never merges with his authorial identity.\"--Publisher description.

PORFIRIO DI TIRO E LE IMMAGINI DEL LINGUAGGIO OMERICO TRA SIMILITUDINE E METAFORA
The article focuses on the observations noted by Porphyry of Tyre in the first book of his Quaestiones Homericae on the relationship between simile and metaphor in Homer. The numerous examples taken from the Homeric poems show the derivation of metaphorical forms from previous similes, as well as the amplification of metaphors into successive similes, the interchangeability of language between the two members of a simile and its trespass into the narrative and vice versa.

EL PROEMIO A LAS GENEALOGÍAS DE ACUSILAO DE ARGOS
According to the testimony provided by the lexicon Suda, Acusilaus had transcribed the Genealogies from some bronze tablets that his father had unearthed from somewhere in his home. Comparison with parallel expressions in ancient preambles shows that the term (λόγος) used to identify the story serves to designate and introduce the work. It may point to a formula like ἀρχή μοι τοῦ λόγου used by the author at the commencement of the book.

LA VOCAZIONE TARDIVA DI ARISTOTELE
According to Epicurus’ letter On Occupations (101 Arrighetti), after having squandered the family property in his youth, Aristotle devoted himself, without success, to military life and to the trade in drugs. He began with the profitable practice of philosophy only later, attending the school of Plato. The fragment of Epicurus can be compared with a page of Timaeus of Tauromenium (FGrHist 566 F 156), preserved by Polybius (12, 8, 1-4), where the Sicilian historian quarrels violently with Aristotle about the origin of the city of Locris. It has been argued that one text derives from the other but the differences between the reports of Timaues and Epicurus and the different perspective in the representation of the story suggest that they both derive from a common source. This source applied the biographical method, known today as the «method of Chamaeleon», consisting in the imaginative reconstruction of the life of the great figures of the past, starting from some recurrent elements in their works. More specifically, the character of Aristotle ἄσωτος may have been deduced from a famous passage of the Nicomachean Ethics (4, 3, 1121a 8-b 12). A role of the Comedy in the genesis of this tradition cannot be ruled out and it is possible to identify a link between the Comedy and the peripatetic tradition in the obscure figure of Eumelus, probably a peripatetic himself, author of a treatise Περὶ τῆς ἀρχαίας κωμῳδίας (FGrHist 77 F 2). From a chronological point of view, Eumelus is a plausible candidate as the lost source of Epicurus and Timaeus, for the biographical motif of the late conversion to philosophy by Aristotle.

\HERMENEIA\ COME 'ESECUZIONE-INTERPRETAZIONE MUSICALE' NEL \DE MUSICA\ PSEUDOPLUTARCHEO
The term ἑρμηνεία is used with the meaning of \"performance – musical rendition\" only in the treatise De musica attributed to Plutarch. The vocal and instrumental performance of a poetic-musical piece is never a simple, objective phonic expression of the composition, but it is always a subjective, critical interpretation of the text by the performer, different from other possible realizations. The issue of musical technique intertwines with that of ethos in support of Old music' insisting on moral and political dangers of the experimentalism of 'new music'.

L'ARTE DEL NARRARE E LE VOCI DI SENOFONTE: IO E NOI
The article deals with the ist-person endings in Xenophon's works, especially in Cyropaedia and in the so-called treatises. In particular the alternation of the ist singular person and the ist plural one is analysed, and the author of the article engages the hypothesis that Cyropaedia is a collective work, for which Xenophon may actually have resorted to some collaborators, in a time when the various steps of the search for information, of composition and of revision weren't done, on many occasions, by only one author. The comparison with the poetic genre excludes the possibility that Greek literature, both archaic and classical, has ever turned to the extensive, acquainted use of the royal \"we\"; therefore the alternation of the ist singular person and the ist plural one may indicate the author's intention to mingle with an actual \"general public\" or rather – depending on the circumstances – to reaffirm strictly personal positions. This assumption is also in line with the treatises records, which give the image of an author who pays great attention, in his opposition to Plato, both to the different reasoning strategies and to the definition and improvement of the hypomnemata genre.

Multi-Criteria Stochastic Selection of Electric Vehicles for the Sustainable Development of Local Government and State Administration Units in Poland
Increasing the popularity of electric vehicles is one way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making the economy more sustainable. In Poland, the use of electric vehicles is to be increased by the adoption of the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels. This Act obliges local government units and state administration to expand the electric vehicle fleet. The expansion of the fleet should be carried out on a planned basis, based on rational decisions supported by economic analyses. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide a recommendation of an electric vehicle that meets the needs of local and state administration to the greatest extent possible. The aim has been achieved using the multi-criteria decision analysis method called PROSA-C (PROMETHEE for Sustainability Assessment—Criteria) combined with the Monte Carlo method. The PROSA-C method allows promoting more sustainable vehicles with high technical, economic, environmental and social parameters. The Monte Carlo method, on the other hand, is a stochastic simulation tool that allows for taking into account the uncertainty of parameters describing vehicles. As a result of the research, the most and least attractive vehicles were identified from the perspective of the needs of local government units and state administration. Moreover, the conducted research allowed confirming the effectiveness and usefulness of the research methodology proposed in the article and the procedural approach combining the PROSA-C and Monte Carlo methods.
