Incluyendo datos de la Teogonía hitita, del RigVeda e integrándolos con la información iconográfica del mitraísmo romano y la irania de época sasánida, se propone un origen indoeuropeo para el mito de un dios que nace de una rocaItem Krakow’s Foundation Myth: An Indo-European theme through the eyes of medieval erudition(The Journal of Indo-European Studies, 2009) Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan AntonioVincent of Krakow is the most important intellectual figure of Poland in the beginning of the thirteenth century. His "Chronica Polonorum Siue Originale Regum et Principum Poloniae" is a literary composition in four books, written as both a chronicle and dialogue. The first book narrates the legendary origins of Poland, and contains the mythical story of the foundation of Krakow discussed in the present article, the struggle between the hero and the dragon. This myth has attracted the attention of various researchers, whose approaches to the above-mentioned narrative have ranged from stressing the Indo-European origin of the myth to underlining the Classical sources from which the retired bishop of Krakow may have taken his inspiration. In general, the arguments for Indo-European origin seem stronger than the arguments for medieval eruditionItem ¿Existió un dios eslavo Hennil?(Faventia, 2014) Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan AntonioLa existencia de un dios eslavo occidental Hennil se basa en un testimonio del cronista medieval Thietmar de Merseburgo. La etimología de este teónimo ha suscitado un cierto debate que no ha dado lugar a una solución comúnmente aceptada. Sin embargo, un segundo manuscrito recoge una variante, Bendil, que posiblemente es el teónimo eslavo originario. Esta propuesta cuenta con la ventaja de presentar una etimología indoeuropea *bhendh-.Item Fortune and Fertility Rites among the Pre-Christian Western Slavs(Studia Mythologica Slavica, 2012) Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan AntonioThe purpose of the present paper is to analyze the fertility rites attested in the Medieval sources about the Western Slavic Pre-Christian Religion in order to make an assessment of such texts. It allows us to elaborate a hierarchy: the more reliable text belongs to Saxo Grammaticus and narrates the festival made every autumn in the temple of Arkona; in second term we place the fragment of Thietmar of Merseburg relating to the obtaining of auguries about the harvest by the sacred lake of Glomuzi; finally we can read a text of Ebbo about a yearly feast at the beginning of summer in the city of Wollin, inspired by the biblical story of the Golden Calf.Item Las claves del enigma: cómo se descifra una escritura(2005) Luján Martínez, Eugenio Ramón; Torallas Tovar, Sofía; Márquez Rowe, Ignacio; Aura Jorro, Francisco; Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan Antonio; Bustamante, Jesús; Adiego Lajara, Ignasi X.; Hoz Bravo, Jesús Javier de; Barco del Barco, Francisco Javier delResúmenes de las conferencias del ciclo "Las claves del enimga.

Said theories are based on two main arguments. The first states that there are a series of etymologies that may have been loans from eastern Iranian into common Slavic. The second focuses on the dualistic character of pre-Christian Slavic religion and its connection to Iranian dualism. After re-examining the data that serves as the basis for these postulates, the author argues that there is no solid theoretical evidence to propose a clear Iranian influence in Slavic paganism.Item La frase de Pseudartabas (Ar. Ach. 100): ¿galimatías o antiguo persa?(Myrtia, 2019) Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan AntonioEn la comedia de Aristófanes Los acarnienses se presenta a Pseudartabas, un embajador del Imperio aqueménida, que saluda a la Asamblea de los atenienses con un verso en un texto incomprensible. Se han hecho varias interpretaciones del pasaje sobre la hipótesis de que responde a un antiguo persa real y no a una mera sucesión de sílabas que suenan a una lengua extranjera. El presente artículo hace una nueva propuesta en el primer sentido, integrando el mensaje del saludo de Pseudartabas con su segunda intervención, que constituye el contenido real de la embajada persa.Item The peacock's arrival in Greece and Rome, or how an exotic animal became an eschatological symbol(Anabasis: Studia Classica et Orientalia, 2019) Álvarez-Pedrosa Núñez, Juan AntonioThe Greeks knew of the peacock in the classical period from the Achaemenid Empire, a world in which it was associated with the monarchy and was reared in royal parks in the empire’s capital cities. Peacocks were introduced into Greece via two routes, and this influenced the different symbolic values attributed to the bird. On the one hand, it arrived in Athens as a personal gift from Artaxerxes I to the ambassadors who had led a diplomatic mission to the Achaemenid courts. Here, due to the price they commanded, peacocks rapidly became associated with ostentatious extravagance, political corruption, and the suspicion of medism. However, because the Athenians also attributed Iranian priests with privileged knowledge of the afterlife and the rituals associated with individual eschatology, the peacock also became associated with the destiny of man after death. The other place where the peacock was introduced was the island of Samos. Here, it quickly became associated with the island’s most famous son, Pythagoras, and consequently with his doctrine of reincarnation. It was as a symbol of reincarnation that the peacock arrived in Rome. Subsequently, in the imperial period, pagans, Jews, and Christians alike adopted the peacock as a symbol of belief in a life hereafter.
