Thyrse; 16, 39-53. Paris: L’Harmattan, 2020.

Abstract: A passage from Oppien on the callipedia, the power of the maternal imagination on the gestation of the child, finds an echo in Isidore of Seville (Orig. 12) then in the hunting and medical literature of the modern period. The principle of impregnation appears in other ancient authors, such as Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Augustine or Heliodorus.
