Ep. ..– Think back. It’s the mid-nineties. We are on the brink of a new century, and are living and breathing the ‘New Age’ people have been preaching about since the eighties. Thanks to more efficient communication, and the regularising machine of empire, the world seems to have got smaller, and more and more provincials are gravitating towards the sprawling, crowded metropolis, all manically networking to win the same few jobs (they all want to be ‘socialites’, or ‘artists’). Many of us are richer and more mobile than ever, but arguably have less freedom. Modern life is a struggle, it seems – it’s dog eat dog in the urban jungle, and those who can’t keep up the pace soon become victims (actually, being a ‘victim’ is the in thing). ‘Reality’ is the hottest show in town: we’re done with drama and fantasy, as amateur theatrics and seeing people actually suffer is such a blast (as well as being a really ‘ironic’ creative experiment). This is a culture that has long realised Warhol’s prophecy, where everyone wants their bite of the fame cherry, but where fame itself is a dirty shadow of what it used to be. The young recall nothing but peace, yet fierce wars still bristle at the world’s edges, and even as the concrete keeps rising, a smog of instability and malaise lingers.

Analogy with the five Hesiodic ages, in which the silver age was both later and less worthy than the golden, suggests the cliche of decline. To what extent did the Romans of the early imperial period feel that they and their contemporaries were a falling away from the previous generation? We will see that the change in form of government, by denying opportunities for significant political speech, trivialised the art of oratory. But was there any such external constraint on poetry? Modern critics have reproached Silver Latin epic and tragedy with being 'rhetorical'. Certainly it is clear from Tacitus' Dialogus that men thwarted from political expression transferred to the safer vehicle of historical or mythical poetry both the techniques and ideals of public oratory. But just as no one suggests that Juvenal's satires were poorer compositions because of his apparent rhetorical skill, so rhetorical colouring in the higher poetic genres of tragedy and epic is not necessarily a fault.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. White the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Ovid's Wife in the Tristia and Epistulae Ex Ponto
    OVID’S WIFE IN THE TRISTIA AND EPISTULAE EX PONTO: TRANSFORMING EROTIC ELEGY INTO CONJUGAL ELEGY by AMY NOHR PETERSEN (Under the Direction of T. KEITH DIX) ABSTRACT Augustus exiled Ovid to Tomis in AD 8 in part, the poet says, because of his carmen, the Ars Amatoria. Ovid presents the misfortunes of exile in two collections of elegiac epistles, the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto. As the recipient of nine epistles, Ovid’s wife is his most frequent addressee. Other poems throughout the two works also mention her. Ovid models the persona of his wife in the exile poetry on characters he developed in the Amores, Heroides, and Ars Amatoria. She appears initially as an abandoned heroine, then as a beloved from whom Ovid seeks fulfillment of his needs, and eventually becomes a pupil in imperial courtship. The resulting “conjugal love elegy” does not replace his earlier erotic elegy but recasts it as a means for Ovid to lament his misfortunes, present a new image for his poet-narrator, and immortalize his genius.

  • Further Notes on Ovid's Epistulae Ex Ponto
    FURTHER NOTES ON OVID’S EPISTULAE EX PONTO Abstract: Several passages of Ovid’s Epistulae Ex Ponto are explained. Key words: Ovid: textual criticism. Resumen: Se explican diversos pasajes de Ovidio (Epistulae Ex Ponto). Palabras clave: Ovidio, crítica textual. 1, 5, 31-34: an populus vere sanos negat esse poetas, sumque fides huius maxima vocis ego, qui, sterili totiens cum sim deceptus ab arvo damnosa persto condere semen humo? Ovid states that people are right to say that poets are mad. He adds that he persists in sowing seed in a pernicious land. Note the obscene pun. The words damnosa... condere semen humo1mean both “to sow seed in a pernicious land” and “to celebrate semen2 in a pernicious land”. Ovid cel- ebrates sexual poetry (semen = by metonymy sex: cf. Lewis And Short, A Latin Dictionary, s. v. se- men I, 2). 2, 1, 39: fluminaque et montes et in altis proelia silvis montes: fontes v. 1. proelia Merkel: pascua ms. The reader will note that Richmond printed Merkel’s alteration proelia3. It should be noted, however, that perfect sense is provided by the variant pascua. I would like to suggest that we should print this line as follows: 1 Cf. Lewis and Short, op. cit., s. v. condo I, C: “Of “teacher’s rod” and “membrum virile”. Ovid was ban- written productions, to compose, write of, celebrate... ished because he had written the immoral Ars Amato- describe”. ria: cf. my article entitled “Crime And Punishment In 2 At Ex Ponto 3, 3, 11 Ovid states that he had an Ovid’s Tristia” (Veleia 22, 2005).

  • Edmund Spenser, George Turberville, and Isabella Whitney Read Ovid's
    Edmund Spenser, George Turberville, and Isabella Whitney Read Ovid’s Heroides by M. L. Stapleton N the Heroides, perhaps the ancient world’s most prominent ex- ample of literary transvestism, Ovid adopts the personae of legend- Iary women who lament the amatory crimes of the men they love. It may have been some of the first poetry in Latin that Spenser encoun- tered, as it was for many schoolboys from the twelfth century onward, in accordance with its traditional pedagogical status, admirably docu- mented by Ralph Hexter. Since it was part of Eton’s Erasmian curricu- lum as early as 1528, its familiarity and centrality to Spenser, whom Richard Mulcaster inculcated with a similar humanism at the Merchant Taylors’ School, should not surprise. It served as a primary text for beginning Latin students in England through the nineteenth century. For early modern readers, it also served as a celebrated exemplum of the potential for inventive excellence by an ancient author in his juve- nile endeavors, another reason why the burgeoning New Poet would probably have read it. To Spenser and his innumerable poetical prede- cessors who sought to work meaningful improvisations on the tradi- tions they wished to embody in their work, Ovid’s cadre of mythical heroines (Lat. herois, - ides) exemplified doubly literate women—those See Hexter, Ovid and Medieval Schooling: Studies in Medieval School Commentaries on Ovid’s “Ars amatoria,” “Epistulae ex Ponto,” and “Epistulum heroidum” (Munich: Arbeo Ge- sellschaft, 1986), 137–204.

Roman Homer Abstract Latinists are accustomed to measuring Homer’s presence in Rome by his impact on Roman poetry. Epic looms largest in this regard, but most poetic genres can be regarded to some extent as derivatives of Homer. And even outside of poetry, Homer’s impact on Latin letters is not small. But the reception of Homer by Roman culture is a very widespread phenomenon that is hardly confined to literature. Homerising literature in Latin needs to be understood as part of a much broader and more pervasive Homeric presence in material culture and social practice. Abundant evidence from the material and social spheres shows that elite Romans lived in a world pervaded by Homer, and would have done whether Roman poets had interested themselves in Homer or not. That the poets did so should be regarded as an outgrowth of material and social considerations rather than as their source. This is not to challenge traditional ideas about the importance of literary–historical engagements with Homer by Livius Andronicus, Ennius, Virgil and others.

  • Ovid and Literary History, Professor Francesca Martelli
    CLASSICS 191 Ovid and Literary History SQ 2015 W 2-4.50 Dodd 162 Francesca Martelli Dodd 254B Office Hours Tuesday 12-1 and Thursday 2-3 The poet Ovid occupies a critical position in the history of Classical literature, as also in the history of its reception. In formal terms, this poet is the consummate innovator: his epic poem the Metamorphoses stretches the genre of epic to its limits, while his career-long exploration and expansion of elegy brooked no imitators, and is widely held to have brought this genre to a close. Yet however formally experimental, these works display their deep indebtedness to literary precedent in their content, recycling mythological and other narrative material inherited from the entire tradition of Greco-Roman literary history in ways that advertise a familiarity with this heritage that is both profound and superficial. In this course, we will address the question of Ovid’s place in literary history by considering his relationship with his forebears in the case of three of his most important works: the Ars Amatoria, the Metamorphoses and the Heroides. For each of these texts, we will look closely at the literary predecessors that this poet draws on before considering how self-consciously he transforms them. We will also take a look at some key moments in the post-Classical reception of these texts, to see what subsequent literary history made of Ovid.
