The purpose of this paper is to identify the use of existing metaphors in the discursive production system deployed by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, His Holiness Bartholomew. The rhetorical figures displayed by the patriarch express deep environmental senses that allow process of reflection and environmental and cultural action. The text gives guidelines and suggests that metaphorical and metonymic language is central to the appropriation of action guides, anchored in a semiotics of religion, attentive to recognizing ontologies and figurative senses, which allow to broaden the understanding and interpretation of the process of signification

: The term Sodom has been used to describe a particular type of sexual practices. This paper discusses the reception of the term within the Protrepticus of Clement of Alexandria. The passage of Prot . 103.4 is analyzed from a synchronic methodological approach, to conclude that there are no indications of a sexual stereotype in the interpretation of Sodom. Instead, there are other predominant thematic motifs such as criticism of custom, idolatry and hardening of heart. This is to make clear that not all interpretations of Sodom in ancient Christianity suggest a sexual stigmatization.

Resumen: La tradición utopista antigua es muy vasta. Comienza con Homero y la isla de los feacios y Hesíodo y la edad de oro. Sigue con poetas arcaicos, como Píndaro. Pasa incluso por poetas cómicos. Pero con Sócrates se vuelve un problema central de la filosofía: encontrar la forma de construir una sociedad justa y feliz. Fundamental en el utopismo antiguo es la República de Platón. Al utopismo platónico rinde tributo la Odisea de Kazantzakis: contempla la abolición de la familia y de la propiedad privada; establece el amor libre. Concibe al legislador como educador del pueblo. Con Platón, con la obra de Moro, con las de Yevgeni Zamiatin, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Kazantzakis en la Odisea contrajo deudas innegables; también con su tiempo y su lugar.

: In this paper I would like to challenge the received account according to which Plato’s conception of the sophist is either novel, distinct or derogatory. I propose that Plato uses common conceptions of the intellectual to create a rather loose identity for the sophist. Through the available evidence, I hope to show that Plato does not assign a new meaning to the label, but rather uses conventional conceptions of the sophist to create his main argument. I claim that apart from the Sophist , in other dialogues there is no clear conception of what and who the sophist is, no clarity as to what their activity is, and therefore (although there are reasons to suspect about them and their activity), there are no grounds to condemn them. Stemming from a conceptualization of σοφία in terms of knowledge, the σοφιστής is mainly described as someone who knows many things, or an expert in ‘all matters’—a description, we shall see, that precludes finding a single definition. My proposal is that Plato does not construct the hostility against sophists, as some accounts claim, but rather represents this hostility against experts and intellectuals by appealing to popular attitudes against the σοφοί. Importantly, Plato is critical of popular representations of sophists mainly because they are the result of people’s misjudgement or ignorance, from which the prejudice against philosophers also stems.

: The purpose of this article is an examination of femininity depicted in Papadiamantis’ Φόνισσα through the elaboration on four selected masks of Frankojannou: Mother and Daughter, Christian, Witch, Murderess. The innovative contribution lies in the application of Ardener’s model of the muted group to the society of Skiathos, deeper analysis of the cause of Hadoula’s madness as well as contestation of traditional paradigm. The feminist reading of the text concludes that Papadiamantis associates womanhood with death which returns as a reoccurring motif throughout the story. Despite the grim outcome, the novel is presented as a positive example of an androtext.

El presente articulo cientifico versa sobre las representaciones del antiguo mundo helenico que una saga de videojuegos (del genero de estrategia por turnos) de enorme popularidad y trayectoria historica como Civilization ha creado desde su aparicion en el ano 1991. Este producto cultural y de entretenimiento siempre ha destacado los elementos identitarios mas iconicos y populares de las polis griegas, Macedonia, el reino ptolemaico y el imperio bizantino; enfatizando a personajes historicos de tal relieve como Alejandro Magno, Cleopatra VII o la emperatriz Teodora.
