This paper deals with the lexical means used by both playwrights to critizice the luxury of women, such as new words or enumerations.

The authress tries to proof that the incubatio was practised in their temples and that the therapeutical powers attributed to these two deities were a decisive factor fot their spread and universalization.

In the main, the hapax from Mosch. I Amor fugitivus are descriptive diminutives that shape and confirm the later topic of Eras-Child. In Mosch. II. Europa the most interesting and disputed hapax is θεόταυρος~ which, of course, should be maintained. Among the others, the composed verbs made out from rare simple verbs stand out. The fragments supply five examples and among them δεινοθέτας is specially defended because of the congruency with the context. The conclusion is that the poet doesn't outstand by his exotism in lexical creation, but by his erudition, subtle irony and humour.

Notwithstanding, Plato was not only an artist himself but a connoisseur of the Fine Arts, to the highest degree, and objectively the elite condition of working in the Academy provided him with a position to be even an amateur of these Fine Arts.

The author collects their opinions and offers a new interpretation based on the comparison between this text and Epictetus Discourses II, 4, 6.

According to the reading of the oracles dictated by Apollo in Hdt., VII 140 and 141 and to Themistocles political relations with the Spartans and Delphi in the period before and after Salamis, the author is inclined to situate the first oracle before Tempe and the second afterwards, arguing for Themistocles' manipulation of then so as to adjust them to the requirements of the events.

In six tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides the previous factor is acknowledged and in these works possible examples of the following religious phenomena: piety, acts of gods, criticism, prayer, shrine and power, are described.
