Working with paradata, marginalia and fieldnotes : the centrality of by-products of social research
Can the by-products of research activity be treated as data and of research interest in themselves? This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume considers the analytic value of a range of 'by-products' of social research and reading. These include electronically captured paradata on survey administration, notes written in the margins of research documents and literary texts, and fieldnotes and ephemera produced by social researchers.

Stychomytia w oczach scholiastów. Charakterystyka i analiza komentarzy do wersów 414-420 eurypidesowego \Orestesa\
The purpose of this article is to compile and discuss the scholia for a specific form of dialogue used in ancient drama, which is the stichomytia. The paper will use the example of the stichomytia from Euripides’ Orestes to discuss the nature of this type of dialogue and the issues the scholiasts raised in this context. The authors present translations of the scholia and discuss the nature of the scholiasts’ commentaries, many of which are paraphrases of the text of the drama.

Thetis in Identity Crisis
This article focuses on Statius’ representation of Thetis in the Achilleid in comparison with her representation in the Iliad . Statius, it is argued, goes against the Homeric tradition, depicting the goddess with features opposite from those she possesses in Homer. Thetis, generally perceived as a modest and ladylike speaker in the Iliad , employs masculine-gendered rhetoric and becomes offensive in the Achilleid ; paternal acts linked to Peleus in the Homeric tradition are in Statius’ poem undertaken by Thetis; Homer’s omniscient and powerful goddess is almost ridiculed in Statius: being obsessed with the impossible, i.e. Achilles’ salvation, she repeatedly fails to achieve a possible delay of his doom. Through this technique, Statius inverts Thetis’ traditional character, creating a heroine that fits perfectly in his unconventional epic of cross-dressing and role-play.

Wikidata per JLIS.it. Un nuovo passo nella mappatura della letteratura italiana di ambito bibliografico e biblioteconomico
The paper describes the process of publication of the metadata of the articles published on JLIS.it in the period 2010-2019 as Linked Open Data on Wikidata. The aim of the publication was to improve the number of Italian Library and Information Science papers on Wikidata, after the upload of the metadata of the papers published on the Italian journal Bibliothecae.it and to test new automatic tools for the publication process. OpenRefine was used to implement the process, as it allowed to upload metadata of different entities (journal, authors, names and family names of the authors, etc.) in sequential steps, and, in the last step, to upload the papers and all their relevant relationships. Metadata of two Italian LIS journals makes possible a few quantitative analyses on Italian scientific literature, by means of Scholia, a free Wikidata tool created for this purpose.

Diodorus, Sch. Pi. O. 2.29c, and the End of the Emmenids
In relation to the great quantity of information that Diodorus offers, available is a highly detailed historical narrative regarding the end of the Emmenid Dynasty in Akragas. Having said this, the article highlights the historical value of Sch. Pi. O. II 29c, which offers three pieces of information not present in the rest of the tradition, and is useful for the general reconstruction of the relations between the tyrannical dynasties of Akragas and Syracuse from 478 BC to the fall of Thrasydaios, the last Emmenid. A comparison with other testimonies - which include, in addition to the other Pindaric scholia and Diodorus, also Callimachus and the Suda lexicon - also reveals a duration of the tyranny of Thrasydaios, the last of the Emmenids, which differs from that commonly accepted by critics. Keywords: Akragas, Thrasydaios, Pindaric scholia, Diodorus, Emmenids, Deinomenids

Studies in Hermias' commentary on Plato's Phaedrus
Studies in Hermias' Commentary on Plato's Phaedrus is a collection of twelve essays that consider aspects of Hermias' philosophy, including his notions of the soul, logic, and method of exegesis. The essays also consider Hermias' work in the tradition of Neoplatonism, particularly in relation to the thought of Iamblichus and Proclus. The collection grapples with the question of the originality of Hermias' commentary—the only extant work of Hermias—which is a series of lectures notes of his teacher, Syrianus.

VATICANVS GRAECVS 156, CASSIUS DIO AND THE LVDI SAECVLARES OF a.d. 204
A scholium in codex Vaticanus graecus 156 provides evidence that Cassius Dio's Roman History once contained an explicit reference to the ludi saeculares of a.d. 204, something that has been denied in recent scholarship.

THREE PASSAGES OF ANCIENT PROLEGOMENA TO ARATUS
An eighth-century Latin version of a Greek edition of Aratus preserves valuable ancient scholarship on the Phaenomena, including material not preserved in Greek. Examination of over thirteen thousand Latin–Greek correspondences enables one to interpret passages of the Latin that have so far resisted analysis, including information about an ancient edition equipped with critical signs and commentary, ancient discussion of the primary narratee in Aratus and Homer, and the alternative proem to Anclides (SH 84).

EARLY GREEK MYTHOGRAPHY AND EPIC POETRY: A REASSESSMENT
Studies of early mythography have stressed the dependent relationship between the so-called logographers and epic archaic poetry. Better knowledge of archaic and classical mythography in recent years has provided more accurate details of the context of the production and purposes of the fragmentary works by Hecataeus, Acusilaus, Pherecydes and Hellanicus. Each of them has his own agenda and programme, which have to be explained within their context and not, from a purely historic-literary perspective, as an appendix, a continuation or an exegesis of the epic tradition. This article argues that conditions of preservation, and means of transmission, of fragmentary mythographers have shaped the way we approach them. In other words, the process of reception of epic poetry through the exegetic and grammarian tradition distorts our view and leads the modern reader to see mythography as being dependent on Homer or Hesiod.
