Abstract
In Himerius’ oration 12, the Ionian Gulf and Sicily refer to the pagan world that Himerius adopts in his culture. Sicily is a recurring and not accidental presence in the Himerian rhetoric, in which sometimes the island appears as a cursory reference to historical facts, but more often Sicily is the land linked to a poetic and rhetorical-philosophical tradition.File in questo prodotto:
