El himno a Perséfone y las Sirenas en Helena de Eurípides

El objetivo de este paper es analizar la relevancia que posee para la comprensión de Helena el himno a las Sirenas y a Perséfone, deidades que a simple vista no tienen relación con el mito de la tragedia. Consideramos que la inclusión de este himno no es arbitraria ni evidencia un descuido del poeta, por el contrario, permite la interpretación de Helena a partir de las doctrinas órficas y mistéricas vigentes en el siglo V (Ässael 2012). En Eleusis, Perséfone junto con su madre Deméter preside los misterios que prometen bendiciones a los iniciados tanto durante su vida como después de la muerte. En la tradición órfica, específicamente en las laminillas de oro, la figura de Perséfone cobra mayor importancia, ya que es quien decide sobre la suerte del iniciado después de su muerte. Y en la colección de himnos órficos, ligados a cultos mistéricos (Morand 2001: 77), su presencia junto con la de Deméter, Zeus y Dioniso es central. Sin embargo, no existe evidencia de himnos cultuales ni literarios en honor a Perséfone, salvo el Himno Orfico XXIX. Además, en la tragedia, la Reina del mundo subterráneo es alabada junto a las Sirenas, diosas que en la tradición iconográfica desempeñan el rol de cantoras en el Más Allá, en la Isla de los Bienaventurados. Por este motivo consideramos que puede plantearse el análisis del himno trágico a partir de la función central que desempeñaba la mousike en los misterios en el siglo V.

Association of body composition indices with insulin resistance in European adolescents: the HELENA study

Background: The different body components may contribute to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to examine the association of fat mass and fat free mass indices with markers of insulin resistance, independently of each other and giving, at the same time, gender-specific information in a wide cohort of European adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study in a school setting was conducted in 925 (430 males) adolescents (14.9 ± 1.2 years). Weight, height, anthropometric, bioimpedance and blood parameters were measured. Indices for fat mass and fat free mass, and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) were calculated. Multiple regression analyses were performed adjusting for several confounders including fat free mass and fat mass when possible. Results: Indices of fat mass were positively associated with HOMA (all p < 0.01) after adjusting for all the confounders including fat free mass indices, in both sexes. Fat free mass indices were associated with HOMA, in both males and females, after adjusting for center, pubertal status, socioeconomic status and cardiorespiratory fitness, but the associations disappear when including fat mass indices in the adjustment's model. Conclusion: Fat mass indices derived from different methods are positively associated with insulin resistance independently of several confounders including fat free mass indices. In addition, the relationship of fat free mass with insulin resistance is influenced by the amount of fat mass in European adolescents. Nevertheless, future studies should focus not only on the role of fat mass, but also on other body components such as fat free mass because its role could vary depending of the level and distribution of fat mass.
