Description
Abstract
El artículo pretende investigar el uso del adjetivo lepidus en el Miles gloriosus, comenzando
con el análisis del senex lepidus Periplectomenus y su aristia en 3.1. Se señalarán dos significados
de la palabra: por un lado, lepidus es la palabra clave que subraya la forma en que se alcanza
el efecto cómico en la obra; por otro, representa una forma de vida e, indirectamente, un
método de educación, como podemos observar en Los hermanos (Adelphoi) de Terencio.
Después de Plauto, este modelo será reutilizado activamente en la época republicana por
Cicerón y Catulo antes de desaparecer en la época imperial, en la que las funciones y
significados de lepidus se reducirán estrictamente y la palabra se empleará como marcador
para introducir cuentos divertidos.
The article aims to investigate the use of the adjective lepidus in the Miles gloriosus, beginning with the analysis of the senex lepidus Periplectomenus and his aristia in 3.1. Two meanings of the word will be pointed out: on the one hand, lepidus ist the key-word that underlines the way by which the comic effect is reached in the play; on the other, it represents a way of life – and, indirectly, a method of education, as we can observe in Terence’s Adelphoi. After Plautus, this model will be actively reused in the republican age by Cicero and Catullus before disappearing in the imperial age, in which, instead, the functions and meanings of lepidus will be strictly reduced and the word will be employed just as marker to introduce funny tales.
