Procedimientos servianos de lectura acerca de los certámenes fúnebres en Eneida V : La naumaquia (vv. 104-285)

La figura de Servio y su comentario a la obra virgiliana constituye la summa opera de la tradición escolar tardoantigua; su importancia reside porque es el resultado de numerosas estratificaciones que recogen diversos abordajes exegéticos. Al tratarse de un comentario ?continuo?, los Commentarii servianos comprenden un conjunto de saberes que examinan la obra literaria desde la perspectiva histórica y de todo aquello que se relacionaba con esta. A partir de esta mirada lectora, la comunicación se centrará en el análisis que Servio realiza sobre la naumaquia del libro V de la Eneida (vv. 104-285), donde el texto base expone una secuencia narrativa caracterizada por epicismos homéricos y pos-homéricos que el gramático desarticula, privilegiando aspectos como el lingüístico, retórico, fabuloso y histórico-arqueológico. Asimismo, se comprobará que el certamen virgiliano constituye un pretexto para instalar un nuevo contexto que garantice la continuidad del sistema burocrático imperial

Cenozoic ostracoda of ODP Leg 104 holes

Ostracodes are less common than might be normally expected at Sites 642, 643, and 644, perhaps pointing to the fact that the marine habitat below the overlying Pleistocene ice covers was a severe environment. This explanation, however, would not apply to the Pliocene and Miocene deposits from which ostracodes are just as poorly represented. In the latter case the Iceland-Faeroe Ridge might still have acted as a submerged barrier that did not allow an open ocean circulation of bottom waters. Thus the barrier presumably prevented an exchange of cold subarctic bottom water with that of the open Atlantic and therefore benthic deep-sea migration from the south was impeded. Some Quaternary species are, for the first time, recorded to extend to the Pliocene and/or Miocene.

Authigenic carbonate of ODP SIte 104-643

Different generations of complex authigenic carbonates formed in siliceous muds (lithologic Unit IV) and hemipelagic clays (lithologic Unit V) of ODP Site 643, Leg 104 Norwegian Sea. The dominant phase in Unit IV is an early diagenetic Mn, Fe-calcite with a strong negative d13C ( -14 to -16 per mil) signature, and slightly negative d180 values. The strong negative d13C results from extensive incorporation of 12C-enriched CO2 derived from bacterial degradation of marine organic matter into early Mn, Fe - calcite cements. Concomitant framboidal pyrite precipitation and abundant SEM microtextures showing excellent preservation of delicate structures of fragile diatom valves by outpourings with early Mn-calcites strongly support their shallow burial formation before the onset of compaction. Later generations of authigenic mineralizations in lithologic Unit IV include minor amounts of a second generation of calcite with platy crystals, possibly precipitated along with opal-A dissolution, and finally opal-CT crystallization in deeper seated environments overgrowing earlier precipitates with films and lepispheres. The last mineralization is collophane (fluor apatite) forming amorphous aggregates and tiny hexagonal crystals. Authigenic mineral assemblages in lithologic Unit V consist of rhodochrosites, transitional rhodochrosite/manganosiderites, and apatite. A negative d13C ( -7.1 to -15.6 per mil) and a fluctuating d18O signal indicates that the micritic to sparitic rhodochrosites, transitional rhodochrosites/manganosiderites were formed at various burial depths. CO2 resulted from organic matter degradation in the lowermost sulfate reduction zone and from biogenic methane generation in the lowermost sediments, resulting in variable and negative d13C signals. The change in carbonate mineralogy reflects major compositional differences compared to sediments in Unit IV. Most prominent is an increase in altered ash as a primary sediment component and a sudden decrease of siliceous microfossils. Upward diffusion of cations, lowered salinities in pore waters, and elevated temperatures provide diagenetic environments favoring increased remobilization processes.
