Two meanings of the word will be pointed out: on the one hand, lepidus ist the key-word that underlines the way by which the comic effect is reached in the play; on the other, it represents a way of life –and, indirectly, a method of education– that is based on the ‘lepiditas’. After Plautus, this model will be actively reused in the republican age. In the imperial age, instead, the functions and meanings of lepidus will be strictly reduced and the word will be employed just as marker to introduce funny tales. L’articolo si propone di investigare l’uso dell’aggettivo lepidus nel Miles gloriosus, a partire dalla figura del senex lepidus Periplectomeno e della sua aristia in 3.1. L’indagine farà emergere due accezioni del termine: da una parte, lepidus è laparola chiave per indicare il meccanismo del comico su cui si regge la commedia; dall’altra, esso definisce uno stile di vita –e, implicitamente, un modello educativo– fondato sulla ‘lepiditas’. A partire da Plauto, tale modello verrà ripreso attivamente in età repubblicana, per poi venire meno, invece, in età imperiale, dove lepidus va incontro ad un impoverimento semantico e viene usato solo come marcatore di un genere comico minore e disimpegnato AADEC - UNL 2016-05-13 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion artículo Articulo info:ar-repo/semantics/artículo Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar/publicaciones/index.php/argos/article/view/9218 10.14409/argos.v2i39.9218 Argos; Vol. 2 Núm. 39 (2016): Argos; 61-90 Argos; Vol 2 No 39 (2016): Argos; 61-90 Argos; v. 2 n. 39 (2016): Argos; 61-90 1853-6379 0325-4194 10.14409/argos.v2i39 spa info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/ https://bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar/publicaciones/index.php/argos/article/view/9218/12501 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Derechos de autor 2020 Argos http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
