Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay presents a cosmographic analysis of Ovid’s mythology in both Ars am. 2.21–96 and Met. 8.174–235. Daedalus’ flying instruction me duce carpe viam! at 8.208 = Ars am. 2.57–58 appears to deal with the in-tandem Morning Rising of Daedalus alias the single star Protrygeter/Vindemitor and Icarus alias the single star Arcturus, which heralds the grape harvest in September. Icarus is not supposed to impersonate his namesake Icarus pater Erigones, the pioneer winegrower from Attica who was catasterized into the constellation Boötes. Nevertheless the aviator imitates the winegrower’s Evening Setting = Boötes’ συγκατάδυσις (with συν-= “together with the Sun/ vicino sole/ Deo propiore” at Ars am. 2.59–60 and 85), thus causing the wax to liquescere/molliri/φάεος κορέσασθαι at Met. 8.225–226 in the season when ἠελίοιο κατερχομένοιο δύηται <Βοώτης> (Aratus, Phaen. 582–585).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
