2017
Overview
Reading through the lens of Southern Italian folklore has lead to new interpretations of the following passages: in Eur. Alc. 947 Admetus' mention of \"dirty floors\" following the disappearance of Alcestis is to be linked to a specific mourning practice. In Ion 1189-1193 Ion calls for dropping some wine over the floor. This gesture is explained through the belief that spilled wine bodes well for the future and is functional to counteract a 'blasphemous' expression of ill omen. Cycl. 327-328 and Ar. Nub. 292-294 recall the propitiatory practice of breaking wind in the event of a thunder to dispel the coming of a storm.
