This approach considers the child to be an active agent and participant of the life in family and society, as opposed to the traditional view of the child as a mere object in the hands of the adults around. In this paper, I propose to follow this trend to push further the discussion the problematic of children breaching the legal and social norms as children could be not only the victims of dark and violent situations that could happen, they could also be the perpetrators. Focusing on extant legal and literary evidence from the long-lasting era of Roman Empire (though better evidence we have for the late imperial era) I would like to discuss our possibilities to reconstruct the phenomenon of children as active participants in violence in Roman antiquity, how were they treated, what can we know about their motivation and experience. However, given the sources, only the frame of the reality in which the children acted can be reconstructed.","PeriodicalId":38376,"journal":{"name":"Graeco-Latina Brunensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71348287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the intertextual relations of the Vergilian and the Catullan texts, I focus on the motif of fluctus curarum, the ‘flow of concerns’ affecting the above mentioned heroines. These Catullo-Vergilian intertextual connections are tinged by the circumstance that the phrase is also employed by Lucretius in his De rerum natura. It will be of key importance to observe the way the Aeneid’s combined reminiscences to the Lucretian mankind as a victim of illusions and to the Catullan Ariadne as not only a victim but also a product of them lay the foundation of Dido’s falling prey to unrealities.","PeriodicalId":38376,"journal":{"name":"Graeco-Latina Brunensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71348359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I will show the spreading of these cults through Europe, especially cults of Isis, Seth, Magna Mater or Attis. Concretely I will focus on one of the most important sites dedicated to oriental gods, concerning the defixiones, which is the dual shrine of Magna Mater and Isis in Mainz, ancient Mogontiacum. This site is extraordinary in several ways. However, I would like to primarily focus on the deposition of the thirty-four tablets which were found there. They are interesting according to the fact that their location differs from the tablets found in the other temples and sites, as I will present. Other sites connected with oriental cults mentioned above will be examined in the similar way (tablets from Rome or Athens). The comparison between Greek and Latin tablets will be part of the presentation as well.","PeriodicalId":38376,"journal":{"name":"Graeco-Latina Brunensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71348966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zborovjan","doi":"10.5817/glb2019-2-17","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5817/glb2019-2-17","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this paper is to present some of Samuel Spilenberger’s occasional poems and to analyse them with regard to their content and from the philological point of view. Samuel Spilenberger, doctor, pharmacist and humanist (*1572, Levoča – †1654, Levoča) completed his medical education and gained experience and contacts during his studies in several German towns. In Basle in 1597, Spilenberger successfully defended his dissertation Theses de morbo Hungarico. He regularly reported on his studies to the authorities in the town of Levoča, who provided him with financial support. The great plague in 1600, which affected the beginning of Spilenberger’s medical practice in Levoča, induced him to write other medical treatises (1622, 1634). Moreover, Spilenberger also published occasional poems, among which epithalamia (nuptial poems) and epicedia (funeral odes) predominated. His Latin and German poems can be found either as dedications at the beginning of other writer’s works, or in separate collections together with works by other authors. These were occasional collections intended for various personages, for example Laurentius Ludovicus, Tomáš Schnell, Abrahám Cebanius, Juraj Thurzo or Dávid Frölich. The philological analysis of the presented poems by Spilenberger focuses on his application of models from ancient authors and at the same time it assesses the metrical and stylistic aspects of his verse. Some of the later poems, judging by their composition, are revised forms of the older versions.","PeriodicalId":38376,"journal":{"name":"Graeco-Latina Brunensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71348592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other Hesychian words for ‘cicada’ demonstrate obvious features of Attic-Ionic speech. New explanations are suggested for some of the rare appellatives belonging here, including Gk. dial. κίκους m. ‘young cicada’ and κίξιος m. ‘cicada’.

Latin was a spoken language which was under the influence and at the same time itself influenced other national European languages. As a result, the Latin language of one time period in different geographical areas had certain peculiarities. Particularly interesting is the example of Ukrainian version of Latin because it was used in Ukraine simultaneously with a language of another group with its own grammatical system and lexical composition. Despite the fact that Latin in Ukraine of the XV– XVII centuries inherited grammatical and lexical systems of classical Latin, the level of which among the authors was rather high, the Latin language underwent certain changes due to the influence of Ukrainian and Polish.","PeriodicalId":38376,"journal":{"name":"Graeco-Latina Brunensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71348478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
