I cavalli degli dèi balzano in aria d’un colpo quanto lontano abbraccia con gli occhi un uomo che da un’altura scruta il mare colore del vino: Omero, nell’Iliade, misura «il loro slancio su distanze rapportate all’universo intero», e se quei cavalli saltassero due volte non ci sarebbe più spazio al mondo. Nell’Odissea quello stesso Omero, ora vecchio, è come un sole al tramonto, «simile all’Oceano che retrocede in sé stesso e si isola nei propri confini». L’Iliade è capace di rappresentare il divino come grande, immacolato, puro. Allo stesso modo il libro biblico della Genesi, raccontando «Dio disse: sia la luce. E la luce fu», fa mostra della medesima sublime potenza. Chi parla così è l’autore, al quale non riusciamo a dare un nome, del breve trattato Sul sublime, quello che, dopo la Poetica di Aristotele, ha conosciuto maggior fortuna nella cultura occidentale; colui che ha consacrato per sempre la nozione di tutto ciò che è elevato, possente di sentimento, agonistico, vibrante nel cuore stesso degli esseri umani, e nella letteratura: nell’epica, nella tragedia, nella lirica, nell’oratoria – in Omero, Saffo, Sofocle, Platone, Demostene. «Una sorta di apice e perfezione dei discorsi», e «un punto di partenza grazie a cui i massimi poeti e prosatori primeggiarono e abbracciarono l’eternità con la loro fama», ecco cos’è il sublime per questo scrittore: il quale sostiene altresì che sua caratteristica precipua è l’appagare il pubblico «con la sensazione che gli ascoltatori stessi abbiano creato quello che hanno ascoltato», perché il sublime predispone alla grandezza del pensiero e richiede, ma anche restituisce, una «contemplazione reiterata». La Fondazione Valla ha affidato la cura dello scritto Sul sublime al maggiore studioso del campo, Stephen Halliwell, il quale ha composto una introduzione e un commento che faranno scuola. Lo affianca Massimo Fusillo, redigendo un saggio ispirato che racconta, in parole e immagini, l’eredità del sublime attraverso i due millenni successivi: dal Medioevo al Rinascimen to, da Burke a Kant, da Coleridge a Shelley, da Caspar David Friedrich a Turner, sino alle «epifanie moderniste» e alle «contaminazioni postmoderne». Laura Lulli è autrice della nuova, fedele traduzione del trattato.

Despite of the constant presence of Heracles in every aspect of the Greek culture, the almost total disappearence of the hero from the Archaic and Classical epic poetry has normally produced in the scholarship about this subject-matter the effect of a progressive and massive focus on his sporadic 'appearances' on the Homeric poems or on his presence in the Hesiodic poetry. Such consideration of the extant evidence has had a consequence also on the interpretation of the better transmitted and preserved Hellenistic epic poem, i.e. the Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius, as well as of the Theocritean Idylls, in which the Heraclean myth became crucial and not only a glimpse a broader frame. In a path which traces back to the few 'apparitions' of Heracles in the Theban and the Trojan epic cycle until the Ἡράκλεια composed by Panyassis, the paper offers a reassessment of a series of fragments and evidence with the aim of highlighting the local perspective as well as some traces of an aetiological function the use of the Heraclean myth had in the 'non-Homeric' Archaic and Classical epics. Moreover, the regional values of Heracles' exploits in the fragmentary epics appear to survive in the revival these motifs had in the Hellenistic epic production, where the links with the previous, not exclusively Homeric and Hesiodic, epic tradition can often be traceable through the many threads provided by the scholiasts, the commentators and the readers of the Hellenistic texts focused on Heracles, especially those of Apollonius and Theocritus.

The paper examines the so-called ‘tattoo elegy’, considering both the modalities of transmission and the main literary features. The aim of the study is, on the one hand, the observation of the described myths, whose kaleidoscopic imprint allows us to focus on some of the ways in which the strategy of the ‘crossing of literary genres’ was applied, and, on the other hand, the identi- fication of the possible signals related to the redefinition of the elegiac genre in Hel- lenistic culture, especially in the direction of a strong tendency towards hybridisa- tion between traditional elegiac forms and the practices and modes of expression more directly related to popular culture.

The paper considers various types of representation of the terror for the fall of the city, which is a pervasive and constant theme throughout Greek culture. Starting with an overview of P.Oxy. 42.3065, a private letter about the consequences a citizen suπered after the ruin of his city, in this case the city of Alexandria, the paper examines some specific cases of the representation destruction of the cities in two poetic genres, epic and elegiac poetry, whose structural and formal similarities, as well as their peculiarities, assure a variety of narrative frames for this subject-matter, with continous reverberations of traditional motifs and new approaches.

Il contributo esamina la trattazione del motivo di fondazione nella poesia epica greca arcaica. Sin dai poemi omerici il tema di fondazione appare in funzione di interessi locali e con un ancoraggio a specifici contesti, secondo una tendenza che si consolida nel resto dell’epica arcaica, in cui, come evidente nei Korinthiakà di Eumelo, la storia della ktisis è un punto di partenza essenziale del racconto mitostorico e un motivo importante per la creazione di una memoria culturale identitaria.
The article examines the presence and the form of the foundation motif in the archaic Greek epic poetry. Starting from the Homeric poems, the foundation motif is used with a precise function in view of local interests and with a strong connection with specific contexts. This trend is consolidated in the archaic epic poetry, where, as it is clear in Eumelus’ Korinthiakà, the story of the ktisis is a crucial starting point for the mythistorical narration and an important aspect in view of the creation of an identitarian cultural memory.

The paper examines some relevant cases of the views of the orality which appear in ancient literary criticism. Starting from a reconsideration of the oral system in the broader communication context of the Hellenistic and Imperial period, the analysis will underline the specific functions attributed to or- ality in extant works of literary criticism, with a special focus on the perspective followed by the author of the treatise On the Sublime. Indeed, from the survey it appears clear that the exploration of oral dimension becomes, on one hand, a lens for the study of the previous literary tradition, in particular of the Homeric poetry, and, on the other, a crucial experience in the rhetorical paideia of the future ruling classes.

The article deals with the complex and multifaced function of the concept of ἀλήθεια in the treatise "On the Sublime". The analysis allows to highlight the fact that the author of the critical and rhetorical work does not build up a coherent and univocal theory of the truth, but adapts functionally the concept to various aims, from the paideutic purposes to the reflections on the previous literary tradition, but always with a special attention to the effect of the truth in relationship with the dynamics of the sublime.

This paper illustrates some aspects of the reflections relating to the ‘unfinished’ by ancient Greek literary critics, taking into account three major steps: the considerations made by Plato and Aristotle and the further elaborations of the concept in the treatise On the Sublime. There is a file rouge, which links the descriptions and reflections on the unfinished in the works of such different authors: the constant parallel between the realm of the figurative arts and the realm of literary texts and discourses, which are analysed for their ‘un‐ completedness’. Apart from this aspect, the unfinished does not receive a coherent and stable elaboration, but it is a concept that is considered in multifarious ways: Plato takes it into account in relationship with the structure and style of his dialogues, as well as with the coherence of the philosophical system; Aristotle considers it mainly as an important component in the classification of the literary genres; and, in the treatise On the Sublime, it becomes a decisive element to observe the role it has in the literary works that reach the “sublime”, as well as to test the effectiveness of various types of discourses and texts in front of different audiences.

The article shows the results of the work of an undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate research group during the cycle of seminars on Aeschylus. The research proposes a reassessment of the complex relationship between Aeschylus’ tragedies on Theban and Trojan myths and the epic poems which were parts of the respective cy- cles. It has been underlined that the evident common aspects as well as the differences between the two literary genres can be contextualized in Athens during the VI century BC. Indeed, the political program of the Pisistratids promoted festivals, which became a decisive occasion for the direct relationship among the different literary genres per- formed there. In this perspective, then, also the Aeschylean tragedies on Theban and Trojan myths were influenced to a great extent by the rhapsodic performances of the epic cycles. Such dialectical frame provided Aeschylus with the way to adapt the tra- ditional epic subject-matters to the new dramatic strategies and to the expectations of the variegated audience during the Panathenaic festivals.

The article examines the modalities and the aims with which the ancient literary criticism mention and/or reuse the verses of the ancient lyric poetry. The main case study taken into account is the treatise "On the Sublime", where the use of the ancient Greek lyric poetry attests both a deep knowledge of various texts of the previous literary tradition and a refunctionalization of such texts in the perspective of the new cultural horizons of the paideia and the rhetorical education of the elite.

The article examines again the few evidence regarding the Telegony, the last poem of the epic cycle, where the last episodes of Odysseus’ life were narrated. A very peculiar aspect of this poem is the strong interconnection between the myth- ical episodes and specific epicoric interests of different Greek regions, especially the Western ones. Moreover, the intersections between myth and regional contexts and histories may be also detected at an another level: the problematic evidence about the authorship and the title of the poem. In this perspective, indeed, the different titles and the attributions to authors, who had connections with different Greek areas, can be intended as the reflection of the complex process of formation and diffusion of the poem. The tale of the last adventures of Odysseus and of his offspring, then, can be considered an example of the close relationship between myth and history which could arise in epic poetry: a relationship which will be further developed during the Classical and Hellenistic age.

New edition and commentary of P. Lond Lit. 190, an early 3rd century B.C. tattered bookroll from a mummy cartonnage found in Medinet Gurob by W.M. Flinders Petrie during the 1890 season of his excavations in the Fayyum. On the few surviving fragments it is possible to read mentions to some of Herakles’ adventures, and especially an account of the fight between him and Hippocoon, who exiled from Sparta his brother Tyndareos and took the power on the city for a short time. This text was probably part of a longer mythographic work written around the 4th century B.C., as pointed out by its diction.

The article deals with the different critical problems linked with the complex poetic diction of the Hesiodic epos. Starting from a reconsideration of the status quaestionis, this survery tries to explore the possibility that some peculiarities of the Hesiodic diction can be connected not only with the moment of the composition, but also with the different occasions of its performance before various audiences around Greece.

The paper focuses on the possible influence of archaic poetry on the Telephus frieze on the Pergamon altar. The traditional interpretation of the frieze has found the primary root of inspiration for the representation of the Telephus myth in epic and drama, but it is worthwhile to try to widen this perspective. The Archilochus elegy on the Telephus myth (P. Oxy. LXIX 4708), probably presents the most vivid representation of the cruelty and the terrible consequences of the battle between Telephus and the Argives. Moreover, a similar strong emphasis on the bloody effects of the duel of Telephus and Achilles in the Mysian battle is found in Pindar (Isthm. 5.41-42; 8.49-50). This vivid description of the Mysian battle is not common in epic and dramatic treatments of the same myth, and it seems to be a peculiarity of the elegiac and lyric tradition. It is, therefore, possible that the Archilochean and the Pindaric poems was known at the time of the construction of the Pergamon altar, intended for the celebration of the Attalids. One glimpse of the possible circulation of this poetic influence until even later is given by Philostratus, who provides a vivid representation of the Mysian battle, in words very close to those used by Archilochus and Pindar.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the multiform cross-relationship between the Greek archaic and classical elegy and the epic poetry. The paper offers an examination of relevant literary evidences articulated in three steps: a first part on the place of epic and elegy in the classifications of the literary genres proposed by ancient scholars; a second part on the stylistic features; a third part on the performative contexts. The mosaic of similarities and differences emerging from the survey allows to draw some guidelines. In elegy, metrics, style and linguistic features constantly point to epic poetry, but at the same time are the tools employed by elegiac poets to shape a totally new kind of compositions, appropriate for different occasions and situations. Therefore the two literary genres are linked by an osmotic relationship, which is persistent for several centuries and is characterized by different phases.

Il contributo si propone di illustrare come in Grecia gli incroci tra i generi letterari si siano verificati anche prima dell'epoca ellenistica grazie ad almeno due elementi: da un lato gli esecutori dei componimenti poetici, in particolare i rapsodi, i quali mostrano di padroneggiare sin dall’età arcaica un repertorio ampio e variegato; dall'altro i luoghi deputati all'esecuzione, spesso aperti ad una pluralità di generi letterari differenti. In quest'ottica si propone l'analisi del caso dell’epica e dell’elegia, con attenzione alle testimonianze relative ad Archiloco, Tirteo e Solone. Per l'età tardo classica inoltre si esaminano i riferimenti ormai espliciti alla presenza dell'elegia in contesti agonali sia nella tradizione erudita sia nelle testimonianze epigrafiche.
Crossings of literary genres occurred in Greece also before the Hellenistic period thanks to two main factors: the performers of the poetical compositions, especially the rhapsodes, who, since the Archaic age, show to master a huge and diversified repertoire; and the places of the performance, often open to a plurality of different literary genres. In this perspective the article proposes an analysis of the case of epic and elegy, with attention to the evidences regarding Archilochus, Tyrtaeus and Solon. Moreover, literary sources and epigraphical evidences will be examinated, attesting the presence of elegy in agonal contexts for late Classical and Hellenistic age.

The volume deals with the mechanisms of the oral communication in the ancient Greek culture. Considering the critical debate about orality, the analysis of the communicative system in a predominantly oral-aural ancient society implies a reassessment and a deep reconsideration of the traces which orality embedded in the texts transmitted to us. In particular, the focus is on the 'cultural message', a set of information which is processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, so to be differently from a genetically encoded information, a culturally defined process. The survey intertwines different approaches: the methodologies of cognitivism, biology, ethology, to analyze the embrional processes of the cultural messages, and the tools of historical and literary analysis, to highlight the development of the cultural messages in the traditional knowledge, their codification, transmission, and evolutions in the dialectics between orality and writing. The reconstructed pattern of the mechanisms of cultural messages in a prevailing oral-aural system cast a light on a shadowy aspect of a sophisticated communication system that has long influenced European culture.

The book is the second volume of a series of studies dealing with the Submerged literature in ancient Greek culture (s. vol. 1: G. Colesanti, M. Giordano, eds., Submerged Literature in Ancient Greek Culture. An Introduction, Berlin-Boston, de Gruyter, 2014). It is a peculiar starting point of the research in the field of Greek culture, since it casts a light on many case studies so far not yet analyzed as literary products subjected to the process of submersion: e.g. oracles, philosophy, phlyax play, epigrams, Aesopic fables, periplus, sacred texts, mysteries, medical treatises, dance, music. Therefore the book investigates the complex and manifold dynamics of ‘emergence’ and ‘submersion’ in ancient Greek literary culture, dealing especially with matters as the interaction between orality and literacy, the authorship, the cultural transmission, the folklore. Moreover, the book offers the reader new stimulating approaches in order to reconstruct the wide frame which contained the overall cultural processes, including the literary products subjected to the submersion, in a chronological span going from Greek archaic age to the Imperial age.

Nel 1897, durante una spedizione nel medio Egitto, due archeologi di Oxford trovarono le discariche di una cittadina fiorente ai tempi dell’Impero romano, Ossirinco, abitata dai discendenti degli immigrati greci che avevano colonizzato l’Egitto dopo la conquista di Alessandro Magno. Quando, dieci anni dopo, la campagna di scavo si concluse, erano ben 500.000 i frammenti di papiro catalogati: un patrimonio unico di testi eterogenei, in cui capolavori perduti della letteratura greca si mescolavano a frammenti di Vangeli censurati, a ricevute di tasse, petizioni, lettere private, contratti, testamenti, liste della spesa… Era la vita di un’intera città antica che miracolosamente tornava alla luce. Un tesoro inestimabile che viene presentato per la prima volta a un pubblico non specialista nelle pagine avvincenti di questo libro scritto da uno dei massimi esperti di papirologia.

Fra III e IV secolo d. C., in un periodo di forti tensioni per l’impero romano, a Cesarea, in Palestina, videro la luce due opere straordiarie, oggi purtroppo perdute: gli Hexapla di Origene e la Cronaca di Eusebio. Gli Hexapla raccoglievano, su più colonne, le principali traduzioni greche del Vecchio Testamento e il loro originale ebraico; la Cronaca narrava in parallelo le vicende storiche di Greci, Romani, Ebrei e degli altri popoli presenti nella Bibbia. Gli autori ricostruiscono la genesi delle due opere, la loro forma libraria, l’ambiente culturale in cui videro la luce, grazie a tutti gli indizi che la filologia e l’archeologica permettono di recuperare. Il racconto delle imprese di Origene ed Eusebio, con tutte le difficoltà affrontate e le innovazioni tecniche e intellettuali conseguite, tratteggia uno straordinario affresco storico, che svela al lettore la natura più profonda delle radici culturali dell’Occidente.

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the second seminar “Learning and Transmission of the Cultural Message: between Biology and Ethology”, which will be held on Thursday 23rd May (15:00-19:30), in the Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy). The programm of the seminar is the following:
- A. Ercolani (Istituto di Studi sul Mediterraneo Antico - CNR), “Il 'modello saddleback' e l'epica greca arcaica”
- G. Simonetti (Dipartimento di Sanità Pubblica e Malattie Infettive, Facoltà di Farmacia e Medicina, "Sapienza" Università di Roma, "La memoria cellulare: modifiche epigenetiche ereditabili”
- R. Palmisciano (Dipartimento Asia Africa e Mediterraneo, Università degli Studi di Napoli L’Orientale), "La voce degli uccelli: al di là di un topos letterario”.
This is the second seminar of the Project "Codification, transcodification and transmission of the 'cultural messages’. From the oral communication to the textualization: the privileged observatory of the Archaic Greek epos”, which is organized by Andrea Ercolani (CNR, National Research Council – ISMA (Institute for the Study on Ancient Mediterranean, Rome, Italy) and Laura Lulli (Department of Human Studies, University of L'Aquila, Italy), in the Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila, Program of the Department of Excellence. I add here a synthetic overview of the project:
"Codification, transcodification and transmission of the 'cultural messages’. From the oral communication to the textualization: the privileged observatory of the Archaic Greek epos"
Introduction
'Cultural message' or cultural transmission consists in a set of information which is strategically relevant from the point of view of the adaptation, and which is experimented, processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, even if it is not encoded in the DNA. This is exactly what makes the difference between a genetically encoded information and a culturally defined one.
Useful tools to verify the elaboration of the cultural messages, considered until recently exclusive of the human species (in particular, a specific characteristic of the written codification and transmission, with all the analogies with the funcional models of the PC, which are used also to illustrate the data storage systems and the functioning of the human brain), are provided by different, but interconnected, disciplinary fields: cognitivism, ethology, anthropology. Cognitive sciences allow to establish connections between the human and the animal behaviors. Ethology focuses on the problem of the cultural communication and transmission and provides the development of models which are earlier than the culturally defined ones by the various human societies in the differen historical contexts. Anthropology offers the opportunity to verify the diffusion and the descriptive validity of the models provided by the previous two disciplinary fields.
From this point of view a privileged field of investigation is the oral communication, as it appears to be a common ground. An exemplary case, which shows the complexity of the phenomena regarding the oral communication of complex cultural messages, is provided by the archaic Greek civilization, a society with a predominant orality. In the archaic Greek cultural production the mechanisms of orality influence on the process of organization ad development of the literary production, and in particular of the epic literary genre, in all the phases of the composition, diffusion (= horizontal transmission) and the transmission (= vertical transmission) of the epic poems.
Project
The research project and will be developed in two main steps: a cycle of seminars and an international conference.
- I seminar "Cognitivism and Philology": 20th March 2019 (15:00-19:30) – Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).
- II seminar "Learning and Transmission of the Cultural Message: between Biology and Ethology": 23rd May 2019 (15:00-19:30)- Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).
- III seminar "Cultural Transmission within Human Groups: Traditional Knowledge, its Codification and Transmission": 25th September 2019 (15:00-19:30) – Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).
- IV seminar "Codes of Cultural Messages: Orality and Writing": 9th October 2019 (15:00-19:30) – Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).
- International conference “The mechanisms of the oral communicative system. The case of the epos in Archaic Greece”: 13rd-15th November 2019 – Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).
The main topics of the conference are the following:
a) orality in the communicative system of the Archaic Greek literature and the possibilities to interpret it with the tools provided by ethology, cognitive sciences and anthropology;
b) the complex literary message of the Greek epic poetry and its roots in a system of oral communication;
c) traces of orality in the Greek epic poetry of the Archaic period in the narrative structure, in the epic diction, in the meter and in the formular system;
d) the writing system in the phases of the composition, publication and diffusion of the Greek epic poetry of the Archaic period;
e) possible evidence of the coexistence of communicative systems based on the orality and on the writing in the Archaic Greek epic poetry;
f) possible interferences among different cultures in the use of the oral and/or written communicative system in the building of the complex cultural message of the Greek epic poetry.
I am pleased to announce the second seminar “Learning and Transmission of the Cultural Message: between Biology and Ethology”, which will be held on Thursday 23rd May (15:00-19:30), in the Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy).

a) orality in the communicative system of the Archaic Greek literature and the possibilities to interpret it with the tools provided by ethology, cognitive sciences and anthropology;
b) the complex literary message of the Greek epic poetry and its roots in a system of oral communication;
c) traces of orality in the Greek epic poetry of the Archaic period in the narrative structure, in the epic diction, in the meter and in the formular system;
d) the writing system in the phases of the composition, publication and diffusion of the Greek epic poetry of the Archaic period;
e) possible evidence of the coexistence of communicative systems based on the orality and on the writing in the Archaic Greek epic poetry;
f) possible interferences among different cultures in the use of the oral and/or written communicative system in the building of the complex cultural message of the Greek epic poetry.

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the first seminar “Cognitivism and Philology”, which will be held on Wednesday 20th March (15:00-18:30), in the Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila (Italy), Viale Nizza, 14 – 67100 L’Aquila (Italy). The poster of the event is at the link: http://scienzeumane.univaq.it/uploads/tx_avvisi/locandina_aq01.pdf. The programm of the seminar is the following:
- A. Ercolani (CNR, ISMA), L. Lulli (Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università degli Studi dell'Aquila): "Introduzione a un ciclo di seminari: imparare a imparare"
- S. Gozzano (Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università degli Studi dell'Aquila): "Primi passi tra i pensieri"
- P. Pecere (Dipartimento di Filosofia, Comunicazione e Spettacolo, Università degli Studi Roma Tre): "Le basi materiali del linguaggio: gesto, parola, traccia. Un percorso storico"
This is the first seminar of the Project "Codification, transcodification and transmission of the 'cultural messages’. From the oral communication to the textualization: the privileged observatory of the Archaic Greek epos”, which is organized by Andrea Ercolani (CNR, National Research Council – ISMA (Institute for the Study on Ancient Mediterranean, Rome, Italy) and Laura Lulli (Department of Human Studies, University of L'Aquila, Italy), in the Department of Human Studies, University of L’Aquila, Program of the Department of Excellence. I add here a synthetic overview of the project:
"Codification, transcodification and transmission of the 'cultural messages’. From the oral communication to the textualization: the privileged observatory of the Archaic Greek epos"
Introduction
'Cultural message' or cultural transmission consists in a set of information which is strategically relevant from the point of view of the adaptation, and which is experimented, processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, even if it is not encoded in the DNA. This is exactly what makes the difference between a genetically encoded information and a culturally defined one.
Useful tools to verify the elaboration of the cultural messages, considered until recently exclusive of the human species (in particular, a specific characteristic of the written codification and transmission, with all the analogies with the funcional models of the PC, which are used also to illustrate the data storage systems and the functioning of the human brain), are provided by different, but interconnected, disciplinary fields: cognitivism, ethology, anthropology. Cognitive sciences allow to establish connections between the human and the animal behaviors. Ethology focuses on the problem of the cultural communication and transmission and provides the development of models which are earlier than the culturally defined ones by the various human societies in the differen historical contexts. Anthropology offers the opportunity to verify the diffusion and the descriptive validity of the models provided by the previous two disciplinary fields.
From this point of view a privileged field of investigation is the oral communication, as it appears to be a common ground. An exemplary case, which shows the complexity of the phenomena regarding the oral communication of complex cultural messages, is provided by the archaic Greek civilization, a society with a predominant orality. In the archaic Greek cultural production the mechanisms of orality influence on the process of organization ad development of the literary production, and in particular of the epic literary genre, in all the phases of the composition, diffusion (= horizontal transmission) and the transmission (= vertical transmission) of the epic poems.
