metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article discusses the extract from Galen’s treatise “Protrepticus” which contains a description
  of the goddess Tyche. In the extract, Galen contrasts Hermes (a male master of the arts)
  and Tyche (a capricious and irrational woman). The fragment is considered in the context of
  the entire treatise (“Protrepticus” was intended as a polemical statement against the empirical
  school and their method) and its purpose (exhortation to the study of arts). G. Kaibel has previously
  shown that many details in the description of Tyche coincide with similar descriptions
  in the treatise “Tabula Cebetis’’. As a result, the scholar came to the conclusion that Galen and
  the author of “Tabula’’ relied on the same source. The fragment from the poem by Pacuvius
  provides additional evidence. However, in addition to the similarities in the description, it is
  worth considering the differences that appear in Galen’s treatise. For example, Galen replaces
  the term μανία (μαινομένη in “Tabula Cebetis’’) with the term ἄνοια, depriving it of medical
  connotations. The translators, apparently, did not attach any importance to this replacement,
  and therefore we have different translations of the term ἄνοια: folie, mancanza di senno, inanity.
  Since the replacement of the term μανία is not commented on in the editions and the
  existing translations demonstrate different interpretations, the author of the article provides
  an additional commentary, including a comparison of “Protrepticus” with other texts of Galen
  and the works of Plato, and also draws attention to the parallel passage from Pacuvius.
