Altre considerazioni su Delfi Ultime considerazioni sul Tesoro
di Giuseppe Sgubbi Dedalo e Icaro Il Torelli (1993 pag 63), commentando Polemon the story that has done about the treasure of Spina at Delphi, where recalls the presence in that treasure of two marble statues, suggests that these could represent Daedalus and Icarus, and stressed the cult that Daedalus had in the Po Delta.
The hypothesis is not very credible, as Polemon says that there are two children.
Most probably the presence in these areas of Daedalus may be a late work of the Etruscans, in memory of those who carry out land reclamation in the Po Delta, but the Prayon (1993 p. 103) says that these paintings are the oldest, in fact, are depicted in a jar found in VII BC Caput Adria. But there is evidence that even older attests to the presence of Daedalus in these areas, it is the well-known passage of Aristotle Ps (81) where we read that in a Elettride island, Daedalus, would build two statues, one for himself and one for his son Icarus, but then had to dell''arrivo escape because of the Pelasgians. Elettridi these islands, we have already mentioned several times, sacred to Artemis, the port of the Argonauts, and stop for Hyperborea, are also, remember from Ps Aristotle (81), Pomponius Mela (II 114), Strabo (V, 1) and Apollonius of Rhodes (305), were at the mouths of the Po, and were the last stop for the trade of amber Baltic. The Dioscuri
We have already mentioned the discovery of two statues presumably representing the twins Castor and Pollux, which took place near the shrine of the Delphi IX treasure, a treasure that even with all the necessary caveats can be ours, well, apart from that, the Dioscuri are documented in the northern Adriatic from various ancient sources, in particular by Apollonius Rhodius (iv. 590), in fact the twins were part of the Argonaut expedition members as we have seen, is well set in our area. In particular, these are recorded as at the Argonaut saga would stop by our parts to make watered their horses (Martial IV follower 25 and VIII 48). The most famous of these is Cillario horses, a horse several times above by Stesicoro (Virgil Georgics III, 90). In Greece, there was the custom to sacrifice to the Dioscuri, a white horse (Stella 1977pag 35), well, a white horse is present both as a figure with the name Cillario, the emblem of Bagnacavallo, and an ancient tradition, this town is built on Eletrride an island. The cult of the Dioscuri in the northern Adriatic is also mentioned in an inscription of the VI BC (Prosdocimi 1990). Most likely, this cult has arrived in our country thanks to the legend Minia, which as we said, describing the oldest cult Argonaut. Other connections
All such links if they can add more: Dionisio, who as is known in three months in which Apollo was away, he became the owner of Delphi was revered in Spina (Baldock 1989). Three Labours of Hercules (apples of the Hesperides, herds of Geryon and hunting deer Cerinea) set in the Northern Adriatic, they had also given its name to a road from the mouths of the Po was in France and Spain, ie the so-called street Eraclea, among others, mentioned by Aristotle Ps (85). Diomede, eponym of Adria and Spina, gave its name to the Diomedes Islands and various headlands, there are various shrines dedicated to him, such as those mentioned by Strabo V, 214, and a shrine to him also observed (V, 1 ), where he sacrificed a white horse. It will not be remembered for the case by Homer? Licofrone Dice (Alex 626), that Diomedes, just arrived in the Adriatic, would have killed the dragon that was guarding the Golden Fleece Argonaut yet another confirmation that the trip is set in our ocean. It should be borne in mind that there are two characters named Diomede set (Terrosi Zanco 1965), so it often became confused. Antenor eponym of Padua, which was conducted by the Venetians Paphlagonia. Odysseus, for the scholiast of Hesiod, with his sons would rule over the islands Elettridi (Mastrocinque 1993), its presence in the Northern Adriatic is also documented by the local presence of Circe (Graves 1995 p. 559), as well as is evidenced by Nanas, ie from king who would lead the Pelasgians in the mouths of the Po Valley. To say nothing of Aeneas, as evidenced by the presence there of his ancestor Dardanus, and the existence of Veneto in a town called Troy. Musti says (1994 p. 99), Before that such a name in this area should refer to the landing of Aeneas. It can however not exclude that this city has instead been founded by Dardanus as is known, founded the historical Troy. From the diary of Cretan Company, was destroyed, he also learns that Aeneas would found Melaina Corcyra. Licofrone Dice (Alex 1240), as we mentioned earlier, that the cult of Samothrace Cabiri from Italy, was the work of Aeneas. It is not clear which of the cult of Cabiri relates, But this cult was widespread in Italy, was particularly popular among networks, which Livio (V 33), the Etruscans were, dispersed in the Alps, following the Gallic invasion. Well these were the Etruscans says Diodorus Siculus (XIV 113), the Pelasgians. The connection Cabiri Pelasgians and has repeatedly testified by Herodotus in fact says that the Pelasgians, that is, those Pelasgians who addressed the oracle of Dodona to the land of the Sicilian Saturnia Pelasgians were the custodians of the mysteries of Samothrace. In our area is well documented in the cult of Kronos and his wife Rea says it Apollonius of Rhodes (IV 325), which was called the Adriatic sea of \u200b\u200bCronus, and Aeschylus (v Prom Incat 836), explained that he was also said Rea Sea. For a detailed discussion of all these testimonies can be found in Homer Sgubbi (2000). There are other clues: Cassiteridi Islands, that the islands of the pond, to which the Ps Monkey (392); Asbirtidi Islands, named after Asbirto, brother of Medea, the heroine of the story Argonaut; cities as Pola, Aquileia; remove, Olcinium and Orico, were founded by the Colchis. But it is not at all certain that these Colchis must necessarily be the ones that chased the Argonauts along the Danube, could instead be the people who lived in the eastern shores of the Black Sea and, like many other peoples of the area emigrated to the West. Among other things, Pola boasted the tomb of Cadmus and Harmony, this last is the sister of Dardanus. The pit Po Messana, which is linked to the Greek Messinia; the Eridanus, where the mighty river would precipitate Phaeton. For the vast majority of scholars, this would be the river Po, it would be for someone else a river Po, for others it would not be an Italian river. One of the most controversial passages concerning the Po is handed down by Aeschylus (text 4). They said that the Eridanus flows in Iberia, which is in Spain, but says Balbo (1846), which Plutarch, the ancient Iberia meant in northern Italy, so if the witness is correct would mean that for Aeschylus Eridanus the Po would not talk dei santuari dedicati a Jupiter cioè Zeuz; quello di Gabicce, quello di Bagnacavallo ed altri esistenti in varie zone. Essendo in tema collegamenti, si può aggiungere, seppur a titolo di curiosità, alcune probabili tracce lasciate dai Pelasgi nelle nostre zone: come è noto questi usavano il sistema dodecimale, ebbene, questo numero era molto usato al riguardo della centuriazione, il duodecimarum (SGUBBI 2001), come pure era usato nelle piantagioni, quelle dette scacchiera in tralice, che Cicerone chiamava quincuncem ordines, come pure era usato in occasione della fondazione delle città, cioè la già ricordata dedecapoli padana. I triangoli che si riscontrano nella piantagione a scacchiera, ove gli angoli dei filari riproducono Always V, are similar to those found in many parts of the centuriazione Romagna (BRIGHI 2000 p. 75). Most likely, the division into four parts of the centuries, which created the tnuda Romagna region of 12 hectares (the same as a subdivision extension that is found both in Metaponto, the oldest Greek colony in Italy, and Greece), is their work. A track would also Pelasgians matriarchy Romagna. The genetic documents a persistent presence Pelasgians in our area, for example, take a look at the map that the effort (1993 p. 337), reports in his book, and these reports a Greek island, existing in Ferrara, still marked the spot widespread thalassemia. It is a widespread disease as well as in Metapontino and in Thessaly, which as we have seen, is the original place of the Pelasgians-Tessali.
Summary As mentioned before, if an Italian tourist during a visit to the shrine at Delphi, asking news about the treasures of Spina and Cerveteri, no reply is received, well in the wake of findings from this research, that the maps should be attached to the rails of the sanctuary, began to find their place, albeit with a question mark, also an indication of our treasures, not least because, in these plants, are reported as certain, of the powers to treasure for which their effettiva paternità esistono non pochi dubbi. Effettivamente molti resti di tesori del santuario delfico sono tuttora anonimi, e conseguentemente ogni tentativo di attribuzione deve essere fatto con le dovute cautele. Ma è anche vero che, grazie alle caratteristiche che si riscontrano in alcuni tesori, vi sono buone probabilità che i nostri siano da cercare in quella zona del santuario e fra quelli descritti. Perciò non si allontanerebbe molto dal vero se una guida turistica, incaricata di fare da cicerone ad un gruppo di turisti italiani, trovandosi di fronte ai tesori IX,X e XII dicesse: Molto probabilmente questi resti appartengono ai vostri tesori in quanto, ecc, ecc. Ritornando ai possibili collegamenti con popolazioni Greche e medio Orientali; no doubt our area could not be directly affected by the upheavals during the XII and XIII BC, that affected the entire Mediterranean. At that time came around, the invasions of the so-called Peoples of the Sea (mentioned in Egyptian inscriptions of Medinet Habu, the biblical events, the events of Homer, (fall of Troy and then returning), collapse of empires (Hittite and Mycenaean). All these events created inevitable migration which in turn created other migrations, covering all the Mediterranean areas and therefore also those areas. Added to this is that the northern Adriatic was an important point for trade Baltic amber, so for this reason people have arrived in our area from all over the world. The northern Adriatic can not boast colonial foundations, as has happened in Ancient Greece, but it can boast of precolonizzazione clues, more than elsewhere. Anyone who realizes that the events occurring in that period are dominated by uncertainties, but it is also true that despite all the precautions, it is necessary to investigate these events, because it is at this time that all civilizations were born Italian (Etruscan Veneta, Umbra, Piceno, etc.). At that time, were planted the roots of our roots.
No doubt many of those stories are legendary and so is not easy to obtain historical, but it is also true that the archaeological discoveries have shown that not all fairy tales, so they deserve more consideration. Ideally it should be that every history book was accompanied by an appendix, with the traditions and legends, so that these may be lost. Unfortunately in the last century, perhaps because of the exaggerated Etruscomania, was made a clean sweep of these stories and many consequently have been irretrievably lost, with no little damage to the knowledge of our past. At the end I must be admitted that none of the many questions I could give those answers, but that the theme required, but this was predictable, not surprisingly, the title is in search of treasure of Spineto, not the discovery.
conclude by making two calls for experts
1) the excavations in prehistoric Solarolese Ordi Street, an area, the content does not know anything, though its existence has been known for almost twenty years.
The importance of these excavations is not only to ascertain the possibility of this area may correspond to the Spina Pelagia (a hypothesis not excluded, although personally I can not) but because there's a good chance of facing to other Frattesina Spa, as recent findings, probably Mycenaean ceramics and glass paste globules found on the spot, they would think.
2) is known to the Mycenaeans avevano l’usanza di tracciare le strade sulle creste delle montagne, così hanno fatto per il tracciato che attraversa l’Appennino lungo la valle del Senio, ed era pure loro usanza edificare lungo tali tragitti qualche tempio per il culto (i cosiddetti culti delle vette montane), ebbene, lungo il percorso appena accennato, vi è una area che, per i reperti trovati, fa pensare di trovarsi di fronte ad uno di questi edifici, occorrerebbe perciò fare in loco le necessarie verifiche.
