[Autom. eng. transl.] ANGELA IDA VILLA From the Dionysian 'legacy' of Ovid in the spring festivals of the Liberalias to the 'legacy' of Saturday in the village of Leopardi (with a consideration of the roses and violets of the Orfeo by Poliziano and the 'bat' of Pompeii, at the temple of Iside, della Ginestra and with an appendix on the Leopardian conception of the divine "enthusiasm" of the poet "oltrafilosofo") "Eight / Novecento", n. 2, 2011 FOREWORD INDEX. The "ancient fables" of Recanati, the village of Venere (Astarte) Ericina, and the religious celebrations of pagan antiquity from the Zibaldone to the Saturday of the village passing by the evening of the feast day, The solitary sparrow and The memories. I. The Dionysian "old women", seated and crowned with ivy, in the pagan spring religious feasts of the Liberalia of Varrone (De lingua latina, VI, 3, 14) and of Ovid (Fasti, III, 725-6 and 761- 70) and the "old woman" sitting on the Saturday of the village, which "at her good time" was "decorated" (with roses and violets) "on the days of the festival". II. The rhyme «isnella» - «bella» between the «roses, and violas» of the Orpheus of Poliziano (ed. Affò) and in the verses of the «little old woman» who «adorned» (with roses and violets). III. The "legacy" of Saturday in the village, which is sitting in a row at sunset with the "neighbors" and no longer goes to the dancing night parties adorned with roses and Dionysian violets, and the "ancient fable" of the Miniature spinners who were transformed into bats from Dionysus because he reeks of having deserted his party in order to devote himself to the work of spinning (Ovid, Metamorphosis, IV). III. 1. The «bat» of Pompeii, near the temple of Isis, of Ginestra and the «ibis» - «nottola» of Isaiah, 34, 11 (and on the Pascoli interpreter of the «Ginestra dei Carbonai», the symbolic flower of the ekpyrosis). APPENDIX II More on the "Dionysus dressed as a little damsel" in vv. 1-4 of the Saturday of the village (regarding the metamorphosis of Dionysus in "donzelletta" (kóre) in the "ancient fable" of the Miniadi of Antonino Liberale, Metamorfosi, X, 1). II. About the metamorphosis of Dionysus in the leopard in the "ancient fable" of the Miniadi (Antonino Liberale, Metamorfosi, X, 2): Leopardi Giacomo aka "Tirso" and the leopards of Dionysus. APPENDIX II. I. Concerning the divine enthusiasm of the poet- "olfilfilosofo": the descriptive poetry of Ovid, a poet of weak enthusiasm, who "could not do much with little", and the "simultaneous multiplicity of ideas" of Leopardi who, poet- " Tirso ", in the Saturday of the village uses the religious symbol and symbolic theomitia (alla Creuzer). I. 1. Ovidio criticized by Leopardi because "he didn't know how to do much with little" and because "little or nothing [...] has of simultaneous". I. 2. Enthusiasm as a cognitive moment of the "great poet" who is at the same time "great philosopher": the di-vino "enthusiasm of the ancients" (enthusiasm similar to "drunkenness" in Pindar, as well as "some German and English lyricists ") and Leopardi's" irrationalistic and sapiential oltra-philosophy ". I. 3. Enthusiasm as the creative moment of the "great poet" who is also a "great philosopher": the genesis of similarities, metaphors and symbols and the "sapiential poetry" of the poet "oltrafilosofo". I. 4. Ovidio vs "the fire and the enthusiasm of Pindaro" (and vs Orazio) in the Zibaldone. I. 5. Ovid, who arouses the images after a "long circuit, and so little or nothing at all", and the simultane
