Abstract

The range of research on irreligious vocabulary in Greek literature is of rapidly increasing interest from a historical and philological point of view, where the intrinsic, inductive study of the relevant terms contributes to an overall understanding of the âreligiosity / irreligiosityâ antithesis in Greek Antiquity. In this context, the analysis of a controversial and polysemic term like á¼Î»Î¹Ïá½µÏÎ¹Î¿Ï (initially âevil spiritâ, âimpious subjectâ), with a prolonged literary tradition, allows for the verification of the evolution of an irreligious term which takes on certain semantic variations. Also, the examples of this word in Plutarch are of interpretative relevance.
