L'esegesi antica di Eschilo da Aristotele a Didimo

A study of the available evidence on the early centuries of Aeschylean philology in the ancient world \u2013 especially of Aeschylus papyri with hypotheseis and/or marginalia and of corpora of scholia, including scholia to other authors \u2013 allows reconstruction of an intellectual path which starts from erudite research and collections of materials characteristic of the Peripatetic milieu, and winds its way through Alexandrian philology, beginning from the Zenodotean age, and proceeding with Callimachus\u2019 Pinakes. The turning point is represented by Aristophanes of Byzantium (lexicographical study, learned hypotheseis, colometric analysis of the lyrical parts) and the subsequent commentaries produced, in all likelihood, from Aristarchus onward, up to Didymus
