Antonius Diogenes, author of a lost novel which we only know through the plot summary in Photius’ Bibliotheca, 'Incredibilia de Thule Insula', has often been pointed out as one of the main sources of Lucian’s 'Verae Historiae'. Through an analysis of the original plot transmitted by Photius, we will attempt at revising the integration of Diogenes’ narrative in the context of 1st century paradoxographical literature and its connection to the several utopian texts of which we have notice from the Imperial age.

Na génese de 'Dido and Aeneas', única ópera de Henry Purcell e Nahum Tate (1689), observa-se uma extrema coesão formal e um recurso a aspectos do mito que, quer dissociando-se da narrativa vergiliana (seguida, todavia, mais proximamente do que na obra de Cavalli sobre o mesmo mito, em 1641), quer parafraseando aquele e outros episódios (como a versão ovidiana de Vénus e Adónis, fonte da masque de Blow que inspirou Purcell musicalmente), procura transmitir, na caracterização das personagens e através da alusão a acontecimentos contemporâneos, mensagens políticas ambíguas. Neste contexto, procuraremos analisar os processos de caracterização musical de Dido privilegiados por Purcell, que, relacionando elementos diegéticos e alusões externas, atribui à retórica músical um papel narrativo estruturante, acompanhando o libretto pari passu e construindo uma estrutura autónoma formalmente completa.
