IL DISCORSO DI NINONE IN GIAMBLICO E LE RIVOLTE ANTIPITAGORICHE DI V SECOLO

Alessandra Coppola

Abstract


Ninon’ s speech in Iamblichus and the conspirations against the Pythagoreans in V cent. B.C.
After the war against Sybaris, Croton underwent a period of turnmoil and strife caused
by the fight against the Pythagoreans. The narration of these conflicts is deeply influenced
by historiographical or philosophical tendences which still deserve further scrutiny;
also comic parody might have played a role in the creation of the Pythagoreans’
portrait in Ninon’s speech (Iambl. v.P. 260).
