Dicearco, Aristarco e i pronomi riflessivi

This article analyzes information from Apollonius Dyscolus about a γραφή by the Peripatetic Dicaearchus in Hom. Il. 3, 244. We know that Zenodotus and Aristarchus made different textual choices in this passage, because of their varying opinions concerning the Homeric usage of the third person possessive pronoun: Aristarchus adopted the Dicaearchean reading, and so made it prevail over the reading of Zenodotus. This case provides further evidence for the re-evaluation of Aristotle and the role of his school in the development of Alexandrian philology.
