This article asks whether Empedocles actually made use of his vernacular (a variety of Doric spoken at Acragas) in his lines, as it has been suggested by some modern scholars. Yet, a survey of these alleged Doric forms (D 73, 233-234; 247-248 Laks-Most = B 17, 1-2 Diels-Kranz; D 101, 1-3 Laks-Most = B 22, 1-3 Diels-Kranz; D 75, 8-11 Laks-Most = B 35 Diels-Kranz) shows that the presence for Doricisms in Empedocles is neither abundant nor free from doubt.

Abstract
This article asks whether Empedocles actually made use of his vernacular (a variety of Doric spoken at Acragas) in his lines, as it has been suggested by some modern scholars. Yet, a survey of these alleged Doric forms (D 73, 233-234; 247-248 Laks-Most = B 17, 1-2 Diels-Kranz; D 101, 1-3 Laks-Most = B 22, 1-3 Diels-Kranz; D 75, 8-11 Laks-Most = B 35 Diels-Kranz) shows that the presence for Doricisms in Empedocles is neither abundant nor free from doubt.File allegati a questo prodotto
