Senecan tragic characters and choruses often echo the language of Virgil’s epic in provocative ways; these constitute a contrastive reworking of the original Virgilian contents and context, one that has not to date been fully considered by scholars.

This would not have been possible without the last years’ patient support and direction of my supervisor Professor Gunhild Vidén at the Department of Languages and Literatures. Despite her full agendas, Gunhild has always found time to read and comment on my work; in her criticism, she has in a remarkable way combined a sharp intellect with deep knowledge and sound common sense. She has also always been a good listener. For this, and for numerous other things, I admire and am deeply grateful to Gunhild. My secondary supervisor, Professor Mats Malm at the Department of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion, has guided me with insight through the vast field of literary criticism; my discussions with him have helped me correct many mistakes and improve important lines of reasoning.

  • Virgil's Pier Group
    Virgil’s Pier Group In this paper I argue that the ship race of Aeneid 5 presents a metapoetic commentary whereby Virgil re-validates heroic epic and announces the principal intertexts of his middle triad. The games as a whole are rooted in transparent allusion to Iliad 23 and have, accordingly, drawn somewhat less critical attention than books 4 and 6. For Heinze (121-36), the agonistic scenes exemplify Virgil’s artistic principles for reshaping Homeric material. Similarly, Otis (41- 61) emphasized Virgilian characterization. Putnam (64-104) reads the games in conjunction with the Palinurus episode as a reflection on heroic sacrifice. Galinsky has emphasized the degree to which the games are interwoven with themes and diction in both book 5 and the poem as a whole. Harris, Briggs, and Feldherr have explored historical elements and Augustan political themes within the games. Farrell attempts to bring synthesis to these views by reading the games through a lens of parenthood themes. A critical observation remains missing. Water and nautical imagery are well-established metaphors for poetry and poiesis. The association is attested as early as Pindar (e.g. P. 10.51-4). In regard to neoteric and Augustan poetics, it is sufficient to recall the prominence of water in Callimachus (Ap. 105-113). This same topos lies at the foundation of Catullus 64 and appears within both the Georgics and Horace’s Odes (cf. Harrison). The agones of Aeneid 5 would be a natural moment for such motifs. Virgil introduces all four ships as equals (114). Nevertheless, the Chimaera is conspicuous for its bulk and its three-fold oars (118-20).

  • An Introduction to Latin Literature and Style Pursue in Greater Depth; (C) It Increases an Awareness of Style and Linguistic Structure
    An Introduction to Latin Literature and Style by Floyd L. Moreland Rita M. Fleischer revised by Andrew Keller Stephanie Russell Clement Dunbar The Latin/Greek Institute The City University ojNew York Introduction These materials have been prepared to fit the needs of the Summer Latin Institute of Brooklyn College and The City University of New York. and they are structured as an appropriate sequel to Moreland and Fleischer. Latin: An Intensive Course (University of California Press. 1974). However, students can use these materials with equal effectiveness after the completion of any basic grammar text and in any intermediate Latin course whose aim is to introduce students to a variety of authors of both prose and poetry. The materials are especially suited to an intensive or accelerated intermediate course. The authors firmly believe that, upon completion of a basic introduction to grammar. the only way to learn Latin well is to read as much as possible. A prime obstacle to reading is vocabulary: students spend much energy and time looking up the enormous number of words they do not know. Following the system used by Clyde Pharr in Vergil's Aeneid. Books I-VI (Heath. 1930), this problem is minimized by glossing unfamiliar words on each page oftext.

Watt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Caitlin G. Watt: Authorship and the Discovery of Character in Medieval Romance (Under the direction of Shayne Legassie) This dissertation argues that by pioneering new ways of constructing and reading literary character, writers of twelfth- to fourteenth-century romance also claimed a new authority for vernacular fiction. Through readings of several key medieval texts, the dissertation not only illuminates character as an underestimated critical tool used by medieval writers in but also intervenes in the ongoing scholarly discussion of medieval authorship. It begins with Le Roman d’Enéas, a twelfth-century adaptation of Virgil’s Aeneid that, by revising tensions in the characters of the Latin royal court, familiarizes the epic for a courtly audience and posits its writer as an authoritative interpreter of the Aeneid. Next, medieval concepts of memory and contemporary serial narrative theory are used to argue that Chrétien de Troyes, inventor of French Arthurian romance, creates a model of character that requires audiences to read his romances as a corpus and thus establishes himself as the author of a new literary tradition.

    ORIGINS OF ROWING • Transportation, Warfare, Recreation! • Development in Ancient Egypt! • Earliest recreational reference: funerary inscriptions of Amenhotep, c. 1400 BCE! • Bronze Age fresco from the island of Thera (now Santorini) well- preserved by volcanic eruption, c. 1600 BCE: ! • Trojan War c. 1200 BCE! • Classical Greece, c. 5th century BCE! THE TRIREME THE TRIREME • Oared warships; 170 rowers arranged in three banks of oars on each side; additional 30 on deck! • The name: triremis/trieres • Predecessors: Pentekonter, Bireme! • Phoenician invention (likely), adopted by the Greeks! • Long (~40m) and narrow (~6m); made of lightwood with bronze ram on prow. Oars 13-14ft long. ! • Extremely expensive and labor-intensive to construct, maintain! • All space used for rowers – cramped, no room for supplies; had to travel near shore and be carried out of water overnight ! • Could likely travel about 8 knots – close to 2:00/500m split!! • Light, agile, fast, maneuverable (provided the rowers were skilled)! • “Glorified racing-eight cum waterborne guided missile.” ! TRIREME WARFARE • Simple tactic: ramming ! • Crews must row fast enough to ram prow into enemy ship, disabling it! • Must then quickly row back out ! • Ability to turn quickly critical for attack and evasion! • Used combination of oars and sails for travel, but during actual battles ships were powered by rowers alone! • Most naval battles fought at dawn with calm seas for optimal working of the oars ! • All this requires highly-trained, highly-skilled rowers– you could not outflank

  • The Classical Mythology of Milton's English Poems
    YALE STUDIES IN ENGLISH ALBERT S. COOK, Editor VIII THE CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY OF Milton's English poems CHARLES GROSVENOR OSGOOD, Ph.D. NEW YORK HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY igoo Ss9a Copyright, igoo, BY CHARLES GROSVENOR OSGOOD, Ph.D. J^ 7/SS TO PROFESSQR ALBERT S. COOK AND PROFESSOR THOMAS D. SEYMOUR — PREFACE The student who diligently peruses the lines of a great poem may go far toward a realization of its char- acter. He may appreciate, in a degree, its loveliness, strength, and direct hold upon the catholic truth of life. But he will be more sensitive to these appeals, and receive gifts that are richer and less perishable, accord- ing as he comprehends the forces by whose interaction the poem was produced. These are of two kinds the innate forces of the poet's character, and certain more external forces, such as, in the case of Milton, are represented by Hellenism and Hebraism. Their activ- ity is greatest where they meet and touch, and at this point their nature and measure are most easily dis- cerned. From a contemplation of the poem in its gene- sis one returns to a deeper understanding and enjoyment of it as a completed whole. The present study, though it deals with but one of the important cultural influ- ences affecting Milton, and with it but in part, endeav- ors by this method to deepen and clarify the apprecia- tion of his art and teaching. My interest in the present work has found support and encouragement in the opinions of Mr. Churton Collins, as expressed in his valuable book.

  • Aeneid Excerpts
    Provided by The Internet Classics Archive. See bottom for copyright. Available online at http://classics.mit.edu//Virgil/aeneid.html The Aeneid By Virgil Translated by John Dryden ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOK I Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate, And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate, Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore. Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore, And in the doubtful war, before he won The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town; His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine, And settled sure succession in his line, From whence the race of Alban fathers come, And the long glories of majestic Rome. O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate; What goddess was provok'd, and whence her hate; For what offense the Queen of Heav'n began To persecute so brave, so just a man; Involv'd his anxious life in endless cares, Expos'd to wants, and hurried into wars! Can heav'nly minds such high resentment show, Or exercise their spite in human woe? Against the Tiber's mouth, but far away, An ancient town was seated on the sea; A Tyrian colony; the people made Stout for the war, and studious of their trade: Carthage the name; belov'd by Juno more Than her own Argos, or the Samian shore. Here stood her chariot; here, if Heav'n were kind, The seat of awful empire she design'd. Yet she had heard an ancient rumor fly, (Long cited by the people of the sky,) That times to come should see the Trojan race Her Carthage ruin, and her tow'rs deface; Nor thus confin'd, the yoke of sov'reign sway Should on the necks of all the nations lay.

  • Efi – Virgil and the World of the Hero
    FROM TROY TO ROME: THE WORLD OF THE HERO IN VIRGIL’S AENEID Dr Efi Spentzou Royal Holloway, University of London [email protected] 1 A note on the translation A note on the text: the translation used in this presentation is by Robert Fagles for Penguin Classics. It is modern and vibrant and I hope you enjoy it! To create this free flow feel, and unlike other translations who try to adapt themselves so they are closer to the original line numberings, the lines in Fagles’ translation do not follow closely the lines in the original. So in order to make things easier for any of you who wish to look the text up in other translations or in the Latin text itself, I have given you the original text lines in the parenthesis. 2 Before Virgil… üAeneas mentioned in: Aeneas was only a minor figure in the ü Greek epic Iliad 20.307-8 narratives ü‘And now the might of Aeneas shall be lord over the Trojans and his sons’ sons, and those who are born of their seed hereafter.’ üHymn to Aphrodite 196-8 ü‘You will have a son of your own, who amongst the Trojans will rule, and children descended from him will never lack children themselves.
