Article 89987 C10f26739707ff4f " " : . ! From Greek to Latin: The Odyssey in Rome In third Century B.C. Rome, a Greek poet, originally a slave from Tarentum, named Lucius Livius Andronicus, accomplished the important task of translating Homer's Odyssey into Latin, in the Italian Saturnian verse. There had been a debate in ancient sources about the poet and the poem. Livius Andronicus set the fashion of the art of translation in Rome. His translation of Homer's Odyssey is the focus of my concern here. This translation had a great impact on the cultural and literary life of ancient Rome. It is considered an important step toward a better understanding of Roman culture at that time, especially in its confrontation with Greek culture. I shall not address myself to the linguistic issues of this translation per se, though important as they are. My aim in this paper is to analyze the direct context of this translation, to explore its cultural significance and to explore the way in which the Romans had responded to the Latin Odyssia . أوراق ، اد ا دس ٢٠١٩ " " : Lucius Livius *Odyssia " " % (.(.¯ !# " ! ) Andronicus + , - . / + 0 - -1 .2 3 8 089 0 ­ -3 42 3 - 5 67 " > " ? - (@ =4" -+ ;<" (1 - 4 0 / + / A 8 2 (B " * :1 D + (B / A E D/ A/ B 4 (Odyssia, Odyssea, Odussia, Oduseia, Odusia, and Odissia ) D 8 Odyssia :A/ ( < - D1F G . 0 5 (H A @2 V E 4(.(.¯ #= " *!U ) Cicero - 5O 69< (.(: (.(: *W! .(" *= ) Aulus Gellius 8 4V 2 1 -0 - Cic.

  • NAEVIUS After Livius Andronicus, Naevius1 Was the Second
    CHAPTER THREE NAEVIUS Dispositio. The Clash of Myth and History Double Identity: Campanian and Roman After Livius Andronicus, Naevius1 was the second Latin epic poet. He was of "Campanian" origin (Gellius 1. 20. 14), which, according to Latin usage, means that he was from Capua,2 a city allegedly founded by Romulus, and his thoughts and feelings were those of a Roman, not without a large admixture of Campanian pride. Capua in his day was almost as important economically as Rome and Carthage and its citizens were fully aware of this (though it was not until the Second Punic War that it abandoned Rome). Naevius himself tells us (Varro apud Gell. 17. 21. 45) that he actively participated in the First Punic War. The experience of that great historical conflict led to the birth of the Bellum Poenicum, the first Roman national epic. Similarly, Ennius would write his Annales after the Second Punic War and Virgil his Aeneid after the Civil Wars. In 235 B.C., only five years after the first performance of a Latin play by Livius Andronicus, Naevius staged a drama of his own. Soon he became the greatest comic playwright, unsurpassed until Plautus. He did not restrain his sharp tongue even when speaking of the noblest families. Although he did not mention anyone by name, he unequivocally alluded to a rather unheroic moment in the life of the young Scipio (Com. 108-110 R), and his quarrel with the Metelli (ps.­ Ascon., Ad Cic. Verr. 1. 29), formerly dismissed as fiction,3 is accepted today as having some basis in fact.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 © Copyright by John Francis Fisher, 2006. All rights reserved. ii Reinventing Epic: Traditional Poetry and the Annales of Quintus Ennius John Francis Fisher Abstract The present scholarship views the Annales of Quintus Ennius as a hybrid of the Latin Saturnian and Greek hexameter traditions. This configuration overlooks the influence of a larger and older tradition of Italic verbal art which manifests itself in documents such as the prayers preserved in Cato’s De agricultura in Latin, the Iguvine Tables in Umbrian, and documents in other Italic languages including Oscan and South Picene. These documents are marked by three salient features: alliterative doubling figures, figurae etymologicae, and a pool of traditional phraseology which may be traced back to Proto-Italic, the reconstructed ancestor of the Italic languages. A close examination of the fragments of the Annales reveals that all three of these markers of Italic verbal art are integral parts of the diction the poem. Ennius famously remarked that he possessed three hearts, one Latin, one Greek and one Oscan, which the second century writer Aulus Gellius understands as ability to speak three languages.

  • The Maltese Islands and the Sea in Antiquity
    THE MALTESE ISLANDS AND THE SEA IN ANTIQUITY The Maltese Islands and the Sea in Antiquity TIMMY GAMBIN The events of history often lead to the islands… F. Braudel THE STRETCHES OF SEA EXTANT BETWEEN ISLANDS AND mainland may be observed as having primary-dual functionalities: that of ‘isolating’ islands and that of providing connectivity with land masses that lay beyond the islands’ shores. On smaller islands especially, access to the sea provided a gateway from which people, goods and ideas could flow. This chapter explores how, via their surrounding seas, events of history often led to the islands of Malta and Gozo. The timeframe covered consists of over one thousand years (circa 700 BC to circa 400 AD); a fluid period that saw the island move in and out of the political, military and economic orbits of various powers that dominated the Mediterranean during these centuries. Another notion of duality can be observed in the interaction that plays out between those coming from the outside and those inhabiting the islands. It would be mistaken to analyze Maltese history solely in the context of great powers that touched upon and ‘colonized’ the islands. This historical narrative will also cover important aspects such as how the islands were perceived from those approaching from out at sea: were the islands a hazard, a haven or possibly both at one and the same time? It is also essential to look at how the sea was perceived by the islanders: did the sea bring welcome commercial activity to the islands shores; did it carry 1 THE MALTESE ISLANDS AND THE SEA pirate vessels and enemy ships? As important as these questions are, this narrative would be incomplete without reference to how the sea helped shape and mould the way in which the people living on Malta and Gozo chose (or were forced) to live.

  • Latin Literature
    Latin Literature By J. W. Mackail Latin Literature I. THE REPUBLIC. I. ORIGINS OF LATIN LITERATURE: EARLY EPIC AND TRAGEDY. To the Romans themselves, as they looked back two hundred years later, the beginnings of a real literature seemed definitely fixed in the generation which passed between the first and second Punic Wars. The peace of B.C. 241 closed an epoch throughout which the Roman Republic had been fighting for an assured place in the group of powers which controlled the Mediterranean world. This was now gained; and the pressure of Carthage once removed, Rome was left free to follow the natural expansion of her colonies and her commerce. Wealth and peace are comparative terms; it was in such wealth and peace as the cessation of the long and exhausting war with Carthage brought, that a leisured class began to form itself at Rome, which not only could take a certain interest in Greek literature, but felt in an indistinct way that it was their duty, as representing one of the great civilised powers, to have a substantial national culture of their own. That this new Latin literature must be based on that of Greece, went without saying; it was almost equally inevitable that its earliest forms should be in the shape of translations from that body of Greek poetry, epic and dramatic, which had for long established itself through all the Greek- speaking world as a common basis of culture. Latin literature, though artificial in a fuller sense than that of some other nations, did not escape the general law of all literatures, that they must begin by verse before they can go on to prose.

  • Satire's Censorial Waters in Horace and Juvenal*
    Satire’s Censorial Waters in Horace and Juvenal* KIRK FREUDENBURG ABSTRACT This paper concerns the water imagery of two iconic passages of Roman satire: Horace’s guration of Lucilius as a river churning with mud at Sat. 1.4.11, and the transformation of that image at Juvenal, Sat. 3.62–8 (the Orontes owing into the Tiber). It posits new ways of reckoning with the codications and further potentials of these images by establishing points of contact with the workings of water in the Roman world. The main point of reference will be to the work of Rome’s censors, who were charged not only with protecting the moral health of the state, but with ensuring the purity and abundance of the city’s water supply as well. Keywords: satire; water imagery; censor; Horace; Juvenal; Callimachus; Statius Symbolic waters have been charted in nearly every genre of ancient poetry. Rivers and springs have long histories as literary symbols in antiquity, and the passages of Greek and Roman poetry that feature poets guring their verses and voices as waters of various kinds (everything from crashing oods to tiny drops of dew) are too numerous to count. Augustan poetry is particularly rich in waters that signify, and that serve to spell out and particularise the qualities of the poems in which they gure; some of the more famous of these waters course through the satires of Horace (the Sermones ‘Conversations’).1 Despite drawing inspiration from a ‘foot-going muse’ (musa pedestris), for whom Helicon’s springs are generically out of reach, Horace uses images of water on frequent occasions in his satires not only to describe the emotional and poetic habits of his Sermones, their clarity, metrical ow and so on, but to gure their moral purposes, and to cast aspersions on those other poets who write in ‘turgid’ and ‘unbounded’ ways that are suggestive of a failure of self-control (verbal, metrical, emotional and otherwise).
