Both will inherit their respective kingdoms and have been educated as men in the Greek paideia, which includes oratorical and military training. For Parthenope, we have three papyri: P.Berol. 9588 + 7927 + 21179, P.Oxy. 435, and P.Mich. inv. 3402v. Additionally, an ostracon from the 1st century AD confirms that the novel was already known before that date (O.Bodl. 2175). For Calligone, we have two papyri: P.Oxy. 5355 and PSI 981, dating to the 2nd–3rd centuries AD. In the narratives, Parthenope is the daughter of the tyrant Polycrates of Samos and Calligone is the daughter of Eubiotus, a fictitious king of Boristhenes, the historical Milesian colony on the Black Sea. Although the two novels share certain common features, they also exhibit distinct features, which we shall examine in greater detail.

As is well known, Copernicus' studies of astronomy required him to master Greek in addition to Latin. It is likely that he began his systematic study of Greek in Bologna in the classes of the well-known Hellenist Antony Urceus Codrus and continued while studying in Padua. As some researchers point out, it was during his stay in Padua – about which little is known – that Copernicus began to translate Greek texts into Latin. It is known that aft er his return from Italy, Copernicus set about translating the fi ctitious letters of Theophylact Simocatta. At the end of 1509, Copernicus' booklet of 22 pages (Theophilacti scolastici Simocati [sic] ep[isto]le morales, rurales et amatorie interpretatione latina) was published in Krakow. The translation of Simocatta's letters is an interesting document of Polish humanism. It is the fi rst ever translation from Greek by a Polish scholar. I will try to provide some insight into the historical and linguistic context of Copernicus' translation, and, using selected examples, shed some light on the question of the equivalence of Copernicus' translation to the Greek original.

The poet T. K. Papatsonis (1895–1976), a fi gure with (among Greek poets) an idiosyncratic political and religious perspective, produced a response of quite a diff erent kind: an 'instant poem' written ira et studio as soon as the show trial of the Hungarian Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty (1949) was concluded. The present discussion provides a reading of Papatsonis' unusual poem within its Cold War context, with attention to its allegiances and its possible contradictions.

In this paper, I discuss the limitations of the reliability of data collection and processing methods, as well as the indices that dominate the attempts to measure the phenomenon, highlighting the obstacles to creating a rhythm typology. To highlight the issues under discussion, I conduct a test application of the frameworks from international literature on two varieties of the Greek language, the Amaliada variety and Cypriot Greek, based on the analysis of 192 intonational phrases, which were systematically and randomly selected from recordings of unscripted natural speech by two female speakers for each linguistic system. The analysis demonstrates such variability among speakers of the same dialect that it calls into question the validity of the rhythm measurement practices used to date. I propose the key pillars upon which rhythm research should be based in order to draw reliable conclusions and obtain cross-linguistically and inter-study comparable results, aiming to reach a defi nitive confirmation or refutation of a rhythm typology.
