This issue opens with an article by Juan Manuel Arriaga Benítez, "The Thetis Jupiter Rejected: Hesiodic Closure of Dethronements in a Valerian Ekphrasis (Arg. I, 130-139)", based on one of the paintings that adorns the ship of the Argonauts in Valerius Flaccus, which briefly describes the wedding of Thetis and Peleus. This decoration has two predominant interpretations: the conquest of the ocean and the anticipation of the marriage of Medea and Jason. However, the article proposes a third interpretation associated with the cycle of alternations of the dethronement of one supreme god by another, the closure of which is brought about by Zeus/Jupiter as the god of indisputable power.
"The vocabulary of erogenous zones in the Palatine Anthology" by Esteban Calderón Dorda is a study on the vocabulary of erogenous zones by the epigrammatists of the Palatine Anthology. It highlights the occurrence of popular language alongside technical terms and reveals a poetic mastery in the skilful way in which they have all been combined with high quality amphibologies or euphemisms.
Soledad Correa examines death, drama, and exemplarity as three focal points by which to approach Seneca’s letter collection in "Non trepidabo ad extrema: mors, performance and exemplarity in SEN., epist. 54". The chosen letter is a meditatio mortis and establishes the moment of death as a decisive performance by which to assess one’s own life. This letter can be read as the staging of an essay on forced suicide, the subsequent account of which in Tacitus (Ann. 15, 60–64) would lead to an interpretation of a certain coherence with what has been theorised and an agreement between oratio and vita.
"Edition of Pseudo-Hippocrates, De venae sectione (excerpt from Galen, De cur. rat. per venae sect.)" by Elsa García Novo includes the edition of a small treatise on phlebotomy mainly attributed to Hippocrates, which contains thirteen manuscripts. It is, in fact, an excerpt from Galen’s De curandi ratione. The paper establishes a stemma of the texts by grouping them into three families, and the comparison with Galen’s original uncovers several important findings.
Antonio Ramón Navarrete Orcera examines the "Greek inscriptions of the decoration of Schliemann’s House in Athens". Apart from the suitability of the inscriptions to the rooms where they are located, the study shows that what characterises the majority (48, in total) is their preceptive and moral value. The texts were taken from the most important Greek masters, the seven sages, and from preserved fragments of the Palatine Anthology, thus revealing Schliemann’s mastery of the texts.
Joaquín Pascual-Barea’s article presents a study of the place-name of Noheda (Cuenca, Spain), claiming that it stems from Novata, the name of a nearby Roman villa. The villa’s mosaics depict several theatrical pieces, with scenic references to a story by Apuleius and a verse from Plautus’ Amphitruo.
The last article in the series is by María Teresa Santamaría Hernández and is dedicated to etymology, "Etymology of ajar and the lost ajo, and their Relation to Alear and Lío". The Spanish verb ajar (allēuare) is formally and semantically linked to the noun ajo, which is different in origin and meaning from the homograph and homophone associated with the vegetable frequently used as a culinary ingredient. Other previous interpretations of ajar are considered. The different uses and meanings in Spanish of the term ajo deriving from ajar are also analysed and explained, thereby revealing the connection with the word lío. The formal and semantic differentiation between both ajos has clarified some long-standing confusion in the field of lexicography.
The issue ends with two critiques of two recent works: Guus Kroonen (ed.), Sub-Indo-European Europe, reviewed by Marcos Medrano Duque, and Francisco García Jurado’s Teoría de la tradición clásica. Conceptos, historia y métodos, reviewed by Genaro Valencia Constantino.

Issue 40 of Fortunatae includes eight articles (six in Spanish and two in Portuguese) and four reviews from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Spain, thus upholding the international nature of this publication.
Luis Amela Valverde’s paper on numismatics focuses on the Roman Republican period, paying special attention to the denarii of the series RRC 455 by Gaius Antius Restio.
Reyes Bertolín Cebrián unpicks the utopian passages of The Odyssey and reveals that they create expectations that occasionally contradict the social and psychological principles of their inhabitants.
By way of the classical tradition, Gabriel Laguna Mariscal tracks the carpe diem topos in songs by The Beatles.
The humanistic debate around the Latin spoken by the Romans is presented by Fábio Frohwein de Salles Moniz in his translation proposal of a text by Bruni.
The conflicting cosmovisions of Christians and the main schools of classical philosophy (Stoicism, Platonism, and Neoplatonism) in the second and third centuries AD are analysed by Miguel Ángel Ramírez Batalla. Luis Manuel Ruiz García reviews the universal metaphors associated with the sea and water in general, in Catullus’ poem Carmina IV.
In his article, Breno Battistin Sebastiani focuses on the historiographical and philological study of the establishment of Greek communities beyond their original homelands and the implications in terms of exile, deportation, and related aspects, such as communication and support networks.
Finally, Ana C. Vicente’s semantic study examines the term κόμπος in Greek tragedy and the extensive variation of lexical derivatives.
The issue ends with four reviews of recent publications by Graham Zanker, Eric H. Cline, Manel García Sánchez, and Petrarch’s Epistolae.

Issue 39 of Fortunatae includes five articles (four in Spanish and one in English) and a review covering a broad range of topics: the poems of Oppian in Greece and Aelianus in Rome on animal life and the difficult relationship with humans; the deification of Augustus in Virgil’s Georgics; the role of food and Athenian naval hegemony in the history of political universalism; the oracular tradition of Greece through epigraphy; and the Ciceronian topics in the humanistic work of Juan de Mariana.
In the first article, Alejandro Abritta (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina) examines the content and development of the passage by Oppian of Cilicia (Halieutica 5.519–588), in which he explains the procedure for capturing dolphins used by Thracian fishermen through a highly humanised description of the sacrifice of the female dolphin after the death of her calf, highlighting the similarity with or dependence on the account given by Aelianus (1.17 = 1.18 Hercher) on the same theme.
Julia Alejandra Bisignano (National University of La Plata, Argentina) analyses the Augustan myth as an association between divine (mainly Apollo), heroic (Achilles and Hercules), and regal (Romulus, Numa, and Alexander) models, proposing that it emerged by way of a social process that gradually prevailed through images, ceremonies, public events, as well as literature. The paper studies the process of mythologisation perceived in Virgil’s work, which moves between political and literary interest.
Diego Alexander Olivera (National Autonomous University of Mexico) resolves to demonstrate the existence of a universalist yearning for universal dominion by the city of Athens prior to that usually attributed to later Hellenic rulers.
Francisco Sánchez Torres (University of Cordoba, Spain) explores the symbolic and rhetorical space of the locus amoenus in the prefaces of Juan de Mariana’s treatises, as a highly popular Ciceronian exercise in Renaissance treatise writing.
Finally, Dimitris Vitalis (University of Cyprus) reappraises an oracular enquiry preserved on the front of a leaden plate and puts forward a reinterpretation of the last line of the text.

Issue 38 of Fortunatae contains five articles and three reviews from several fields of classical philology, in keeping with the miscellaneous nature of this publication. A wide range of topics encompass Greek philosophy and asceticism, Seneca’s Roman Stoicism, the historiography of Tacitus’ Annals, late medieval arts of memory, and Indo-European studies. The general subject matter acts or serves as a pretext for the detailed study of several specific issues, such as Diego Andrés Cardoso Bueno’s analysis of the literary topic locus amoenus in Philo of Alexandria's treatise De vita contemplativa; the themes of Greek anthroponymy and etymology expounded by Marcos Medrano Duque in his research into the forms Κασ(σ)-, Κασσι-, and Καστι; the word order that Carles Padilla-Carmona believes to be a significant feature and an essential stylistic resource in Tacitus; the arts of memory of scholastic origin that Marta Ramos Grané places at the service of such contemporary issues as artificial intelligence; and finally, Genaro Valencia Constantino’s work that attempts to show how the comprehensive study of Seneca’s lexicon can lead to a more refined or more fitting explanation of his philosophical ideas.
As for the reviews, Javier del Hoyo Calleja presents Fernando García Romero’s well-documented book Lechuzas a Atenas. Pervivencia hoy del refranero griego antiguo. In the first of two reviews, Ángel Martínez Fernández offers concise, clear comments on the published contributions of the XIV Simposio Internacional de la Sociedad Española de Plutarquistas (XIV International Symposium of the Spanish Society of Plutarchists), held in La Laguna, in 2022; and in a second, he provides a step-by-step analysis of the coming to light of the work on Greek epigraphy IG X 2, 1 Suppl. 2: Inscriptiones Thessalonicae et Viciniae – Supplementum alterum: Addenda, Indices, Tabulae.

Fortunatae number 37 contains seven articles and two reviews covering a wide range of topics such as classical historiography, the oratory of Aeschines or Dinarchus, Renaissance grammar, Minoan epigraphy, late classical rhetoric, textual criticism, and Greek Christian exegesis.
In the first article, Ignacio Carral discusses possible points of connection between the works of Titus Livius and Polybius. Leonardo Ferreira and Melyssa Cardozo examine the evolution of the term “letter” in 16th-century Portuguese grammars and their relationship with the evolution of this discipline after the Renaissance. Christina Papadaki’s article on Greek epigraphy raises the hypothesis of the apotropaic or protective sense of the message inscribed on several pieces of Minoan jewellery. Liliana Pégolo and Alexis Robledo explore the function of the ekphrasis that Claudius Claudianus, a bilingual Greek and Roman author of the Second Sophistic school, used as the backbone to his entire epic tale and not merely as a rhetorical–stylistic device. Pedro E. Rivera focuses on aspects of textual criticism, by analysing several terms in the manuscript tradition of Photius’ Biblioteca, whose erroneous interpretation may have led to an inadequate transmission of the text. María Alejandra Valdés examines the proem to Basil of Caesarea’s Hexaemeron from the perspective of classical precepts and rhetoric and the role they play in biblical exegesis. In the last article, Silvia Vergara sets out part of her research studies on the religious and irreligious lexicon in classical Greek oratory. As a contribution to furthering knowledge of the political context in which it evolved, she explores the semantic values and role in the use of rhetorical and stylistic devices.

Issue 36 of Fortunatae again offers a wide variety of themes within the field of classical studies, in six articles and three reviews. In the first article, Carlos Amado Román analyses the divergences and similarities between ancient scholia and Renaissance comments referring to odes by Horace and their exegesis in the Horatius cum quatuor commentariis (Venice, 1492). In his article, Sebastián Eduardo Carrizo analyses the forms of manipulation of the emotions in the comic construction of the ἐχθρός (adversary) through the ψόγος (invective) in Archilochus of Paros and Hipponax of Ephesus, and Aristophanes, respectively, and their value in the construction of a literary genre. The third contribution by Arsenio Ferraces Rodríguez studies the problems of identification and authority of a prescription with no heading and its relationship with an identical recipe from the same book from the perspective of textual transmission. In the next work, Sanae Kichouh Aiadi analyses the reformulation of the myth of Demeter and Persephone from a psychoanalytic point of view in “Louise Glück’s ‘Persephone the Wanderer’ read from a psychoanalytic and Classical Receptions perspective”. Monica Padilla Navarro’s paper entitled “The reception of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata from a contemporary perspective: David Stuttard’s Lysistrata, or Loose Strife” also follows in the classical tradition in contemporary times. The article analyses the British dramatist and director’s adaptation of the work and the resources he uses to reach the public, by keeping the original proposal of the text while adding a contemporary angle to the treatment of the characters and the staging. In the final article “Μινωικές αποθέσεις θεμελίωσης: τυπολογία – μορφολογία, περιεχόμενο και λειτουργία” (Deposits of Minoan foundation: typology, morphology, context, content, and interpretation), through preserved material testimonies, Christina Papadaki examines the rituals of Minoan foundation (initiation and consecration of buildings) and their sacral formulas, in search of the conservation and prosperity of the place.

Fortunatae number 35 gathers nine articles and a review, in four different languages (Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese). Once again, the multidisciplinary nature, originality, rigour of the proposals, and their international focus, spearhead journal content.
In five articles that revolve around Greek philology, Evelia Arteaga focuses on the use of the term φιλοψυχία (love for life) in diverse genres of Greek literature and its concurrence in contexts with positive or negative connotations. Eirini Briakou explores Euripides’ Hecuba with an analysis from the audience’s point of view, highlighting how attention to the audience appears in the work itself. The theatre, this time in relation to metrical aspects (medial caesura) is the theme of Máximo García and Felipe Hernández’s article. The historical fact of the mutilation of the Herms in 415 BC, and its treatment from the point of view of Greek historians, biographers, and orators, is addressed by Priscilla Gontijo. The ζηλοτυπία (love-related jealousy) testified in numerous genres and sources from the Greek imperial ages is the subject of Claudia Palma’s article. Finally, from Arabic and Greek philology, Adalberto Magnelli and Giuseppe Petrantoni make a new proposal about historical events in 12th-century Sicily, based on Arabic texts and referencing Greek sources.
In studies of Latin philology, Guillermo Aprile examines the appearance and consideration of the figure of the doctor in various historiographical texts. José Medrano focuses on two paragraphs from the Naturales Quaestiones, to study Seneca’s theme of living in accordance with nature through knowledge. In the field of didactics, Eveling Garzón analyses the lexicon of the Latin texts used for university access examinations in Spain, concluding with a proposal.
This issue ends with a polished review by Nicolás Russo of the latest bilingual Italian edition of Tacitus’ Germania.

Issue 34 of Fortunatae is dedicated to the first 30 years of the journal, which was launched in 1991. In honour of this event, invitations were extended to contributors to the first two volumes and to other former contributors, experts on the proposed theme, which paid homage to the journal’s name: Mακάρων νήσοι / Insulae Fortunatae y otros universos insulares (Insulae Fortunatae and other island universes). The result was 11 excellent articles on the Insulae Fortunatae and their relationship with the Canary Islands, other Atlantic islands, or with the so-called East Indies. The period covered ranged from classical antiquity to 16th- and 17th-century humanism in a clear symbiosis between philology and history.

The 248 pages of Fortunatae number 33 contain 11 articles and three book reviews in five languages (Spanish, French, Greek, English, and Italian). The multidisciplinarity that characterises this publication is reflected in three articles devoted to different aspects and moments of Greek epigraphy: Cretan dialectology (Bile), Byzantine inscriptions (Magnelli) and Hellenistic pottery (Tsatsaki). Literature is represented by Helen Gastin’s and Andrea Sánchez’s works on Sophocles and Aeschylus, respectively. The classical tradition is present in the contributions by López Férez on General Estoria, and by Milagros del Amo on Nebrija’s commentary on Perseus. Under the strictly linguistic heading, María Isabel Jiménez and Eveling Garzón’s article explores the question of Latin collocations, and Jesús Peláez scrutinises the semantic organisation of Greek dictionaries of the New Testament. Arabist Miguel Ángel Lucena analyses the 13th-century Syrian treaty on physiognomy and its Greek sources. And finally, from a historical and cultural perspective, Styliani Voutsa traces the historic journey of Hellenistic intellectuals at the University of Salamanca since the Renaissance.

Issue 32 of Fortunatae is dedicated to professor Ángel Martínez Fernández. Its 854 pages contain 53 articles and two reviews in six different languages. This volume is the most wide-ranging and diverse in the history of the journal.
Given Dr Martínez’s preferred area of study, the largest number of contributions are related to Latin and Greek epigraphy (11 articles). However, other specialisations are represented in this multidisciplinary volume, a testament to the interest aroused among researchers for this deserved tribute. The major areas of the classical tradition, textual criticism, and Greek literature and linguistics encompass articles on a wide range of subjects, including cinema, music, history, philosophy, religion, mythology, medicine, and agriculture.

Fortunatae number 31 includes ten articles on the classical tradition and reception, biblical studies, Greek literature, mythology, and themes related to classical philology and its preservation. Five reviews complete this volume.

Issue 30 of Fortunatae pays tribute to Juan Barreto Betancort, professor of the department of Classical and Arabic Philology. Barreto Betancort had close ties to the journal for which he was secretary (2006–2009) and director (2012–2016). This volume gathers a range of articles on biblical studies, his main field of interest.

Fortunatae number 29 gathers seven articles on several issues related to classical studies and their survival. Seven reviews complete the volume.

Issue 28 of Fortunatae contains 26 articles and is dedicated to the memory of Isabel García Gálvez, professor of Greek philology at the University of La Laguna. Colleagues, coworkers, and friends participate in this tribute, which covers a wide variety of themes related to the study of languages, and the classical tradition and its survival.

Fortunatae number 27 contains eight articles on Vulgar Latin, Greek grammar, Graeco-Latin literature, medicine, and the classical tradition, among others. Fourteen reviews complete the volume.
