THE MIST SHED BY ZEUS IN ILIAD XVII
Jonathan Fenno

Abstract: The mist that persistently obscures and surrounds the battle over Patroclus in Iliad 17 is considered both as a natural meteorological phenomenon, and as an instrument of divine intervention manifesting Zeus' sympathy in accord with his larger plan to glorify Achilleus.



SINON IN ROMAN DRAMA
Giampiero Scafoglio

Abstract: This article investigates the probable sources of the version of the Sinon myth found in Plautus' Bacchides 938, where Sinon hides in busto Achilli. The Vatican Epitome of Pseudo-Apollodorus knows this version of the story, but Plautus seems to have followed a different source. He borrowed the motif not from a Greek play or poem, but from Roman tragedy, probably the Equos Troianus of Naevius, who in turn got it from a post-classical Greek drama.
