Here is the Italian version of this entry. Grammarian: Name: Nicias | Νικίας Identity: BNP Place of Origin: ? Date: 1st c. BCE (?) ↓ To Source List Biography: Nicias was a Homeric1 commentator, but we know neither when he lived nor his city of origin. However, we ought to seriously consider the proposal to identify him as the grammarian Curtius Nicias2, a native of Cos (he could have been the tyrant3 of the …

CE ↓ To Source List Biography: A grammarian named Hermapias or Hermappias is cited many times in the scholia to the Iliad1, in some cases through Herodianus2, who thus serves as a terminus ante quem. The fluctuation in the spelling of his name (Ἑρμαππίας in Sch. Il. 4, 235a1. a2. 21, 331e. 24, 557a; Ἑρμαπίας in Sch. Il. 11, 326b. 13, 137b. 21, 169c) should perhaps be resolved in favor of the non-reduplicated form (cf. H. Erbse, Scholia Graeca in Homeri Iliadem (Scholia Vetera), rec. H. Erbse, 1-7, Berlin-New York 1969-1988, 5, p. 203, adn. ad Sch. Il. 21, 331e); in both versions it betrays a Lycian or at least an An…

Here is the Italian version of this entry. Grammarian: Name: Hesychius | Ἡσύχιος Identity: Pauly-Wissowa | BNP Place of Origin: Alexandria Date: 5th-6th c. CE ↓ To Source List Biography: Hesychius of Alexandria was probably active around the year 500 CE. The sole information that we have about his life and work comes from the prefatory letter to his lexicon (pp. 1–2 Latte). It is dedicated to a certain Eulogius: the identification of the dedicatee – that may shed some light on the grammarian1 – is controversial: some hold that he is Eulogius Scholasticus2, who lived in the 5th c. CE (see Schmidt 1862, pp. CLXXXVII-CLXXXVIII; Reitzenstein 1897, p. 358). However, in the absence of secure proof, it seems safer to extend the date of the lexicographer to the 6th c. CE (s…
