Socrates, before dying, addresses a surprising petition to Crito, “we owe a cock to Asclepius”. It is this enigmatic statement that is explored with recourse to Plato and Nietzsche in this paper. With the Phaedo, Plato offers us the chance to be present on the last day of Socrates's life and to participate, in spirit, in the dialogue with his disciples. The cult of Asclepius, god of medicine, venerated in Epidauros, provides us with the key to the symbolism of the cock. After presenting the interpretation of the death of Socrates by Nietzsche, we will contrast two perspectives for dealing with death: one by Socrates, through the justifications of reason and one by Nietzche, truth according to the body.

In 2013, Giancarlo De Cataldo and Carlo Bonini published the novel Suburra. Between 2017 and 2020, streaming platform Netflix releases its first original Italian series, Suburra. La serie, a free adaptation of the book of the same name. Directed by Michele Placido, Andrea Molaioli and Giuseppe Capotondi, the three seasons are characterized by a dense script that interweaves complex plots around a triple criminal polarization: the interests of Roman traffickers, local political figures and high-ranking Vatican dignitaries are inextricably intertwined around the acquisition of land in Ostia, geographical symbols of hegemonic power. This article shows how, through the narrative choices made by its authors, the serial adaptation of Suburraconstitutes a richer and more ethically accomplished version than the original literary work. Indeed, the series challenges the crystallization of representations that characterized the novel, locking the characters into a good/evil dichotomy around which each of their actions was structured. Shaking up the systemic arrangement of the original diegesis, the series subtly works on interpersonal and institutional relationships, to open up a more human and ethical narrative of crime and the contemporary world.
