How could anyone forget to draw a hog?

I was listening so attentively to this speech that I did not notice the flight of Ascyltos, and while I was pacing the gardens, engulfed in this flood-tide of rhetoric, a large crowd of students came out upon the portico, having, it would seem, just listened to an extemporaneous declamation, of I know not whom, the speaker of which had taken exceptions to the speech of Agamemnon. The early part of this reign was remembered as a period of sound government, for which the main credit seems due to Seneca. The Satyricon has some shards of literary value, perhaps most notably the Tramalchio's dinner, but it seems little surprise to me that this text has suffered many lulls in popularity. View 1 comment.

Giton, who was standing by during all this, was as downcast as myself, and the suffering of the lad only served to increase my own vexation, but the thing which bothered me most of all, was the painstaking search which was being made for us; I told Ascyltos of this, but he only laughed it off, as he had so happily extricated himself from the scrape.

  • Notes on Seneca's Trojan Women for Vce Students
    NOTES ON SENECA’S TROJAN WOMEN FOR VCE STUDENTS Betty Gabriel-Jones Seneca’s Trojan Women, is, like most of his plays, modelled on a Greek original, Eurip- ides’ Women of Troy. However, he brings a distinctly Roman attitude to his plays, an attitude no doubt at least partly formed by a life led in and around the courts of the Julio-Claudian emperors. Seneca thrived under Tiberius, fell out of favour with Caligula, returned to Rome on Caligula’s death, was exiled by Claudius, then recalled, became influential at the court of Nero (indeed was probably the second most powerful man in Rome, after the emperor) and was eventually sentenced to death by Nero. This eventful and, one assumes, stressful life surely played a part in his somewhat pessimistic view of life. It is hard to see how this could not be the case. After all, his protégé, Nero, murdered his own stepbrother, his stepsister/wife and his mother Agrippina. His second wife, whom he supposedly loved, he kicked to death in a drunken rage. Witnessing such events, even if one were not involved, would not lead one to see life as a sunny, cheerful affair. And Seneca was not uninvolved. He was no innocent, and may even have condoned the killing of Agrippina; certainly he composed a speech for Nero in which he justified his action. In addition to all this, Seneca lived in a Rome where bloody and murderous games were the staple entertainment of the masses. By philosophy, Seneca was a stoic—that is to say, he advised a life designed around ra- tional behaviour, modesty, and discipline.

  • The Darkness of Man: a Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca's
    The Darkness of Man: A Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon A Senior Thesis in Classics The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Emily Kohut May 2016 Kohut 1 Acknowledgments I would like to give my deepest and heartfelt thanks to Colorado College’s Classics department. Thank you Owen Cramer, Sanjaya Thakur, Marcia Dobson, and Richard Buxton for all of your help, edits, and advice throughout the course of my time here at CC and especially while working on this project. Thank you to my family and friends for supporting me through this whole process and to the many others who have been involved in my time here at CC. This has been an amazing experience and I could not have done it without all of you. Thank you very much. Kohut 2 The Darkness of Man: A Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon are texts in which light rarely presents itself, instead it is dark that is present from start to finish. Throughout the course of these texts, I take note of the use and presence, or lack, of light. There appear to be two specific uses of light that serve specific purposes in Thyestes and Agamemnon: natural light (generally indicated with primarily die- or luc-1 based words), and artificial light (referenced by words related to/derived from flamma or ardeo2). Natural light is prominently used only when discussing its being consumed by darkness, while artificial light appears in passages saturated with destruction and chaos.

While the use of contemporary specialised popular fiction (novels, films, TV series, video games, etc.) in LSP2 has attracted considerable research interest in France and elsewhere since the identification and codification of a relatively new genre known as fiction à substrat professionnel (FASP),3 this paper seeks to go a step further, exploring possible convergences between ESP and the Law and Literature (L&L) movement.

Magis rythmus quam metron : the structure of Seneca's anapaests, and the oral/aural nature of Latin poetry 1 Lieven Danckaert, Ghent University Abstract The aim of this contribution is twofold. The empirical focus is the metrical structure of Seneca's anapaestic odes. On the basis of a detailed formal analysis, in which special attention is paid to the delimitation and internal structure of metrical periods, I argue against the dimeter colometry traditionally assumed. This conclusion in turn is based on a second, more methodological claim, namely that in establishing the colometry of an ancient piece of poetry, the modern metrician is only allowed to set apart a given string of metrical elements as a separate metron, colon or period, if this postulated metrical entity could 'aurally' be distinguished as such by the hearer.

Some remarks on Seneca's employment of the choral odes in the Agamemnon’ Rosetta 22: 1 - 17 http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/issue22/Zanobini.pdf The Chorus as a downgraded protagonist. Some remarks on Seneca's employment of the choral odes in the Agamemnon Michele Zanobini Department of Classics and Philosophy The Glasgow Academy Abstract Seneca's Agamemnon represents one of the most well-known poetic reinterpretations of Aeschylus' drama. Unlike the original Greek, however, the Latin revision of the myth presents a number of features that often fragment the plot's unfolding. The employment of the Chorus, in particular, strongly contributes to the text's narrative fragmentation and testifies to Seneca's deprioritization of cohesion in favor of single, dramatic episodes. By relating to the Aeschylean text, this article provides a first compared and analytical reading of the choral songs in the Seneca's play. The lack of organic integration of the four choral odes, along with further textual evidence bring the reader to question the Agamemnon's state of accomplished and rhetorically refined theatrical play. 1 Preliminary notes In conducting a comparative analysis of Aeschylus' Agamemnon and Seneca's poetic reinterpretation of the relevant myth, the authors’ dissimilar treatment of the chorus immediately strikes the reader as one of the most outstanding and significant points of divergence between the two dramas. Among the brilliant analyses of the plays’ protagonists that have been, even recently, made by scholars, a comprehensive study of the Senecan choruses in the Agamemnon has not yet been attempted: this constitutes the aim of the present work.1 Through a close reading of the text, this study seeks to analyse the four Latin choral odes in order to show the progressive decentralization of the Senecan chorus along with the loss of its prerogatives.

  • Seneca's Apocolocyntosis and Petronius' Satyricon
    Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis and Petronius’ Satyricon MICHAEL PASCHALIS University of Crete Introduction In chapter 5 of Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis it is announced to Jupiter that a weird character has arrived in heaven, who is shaking his head all the time and dragging his right leg and when asked about his nationality, replies in a confused, unintelligible language that is neither Greek nor Latin, nor of any known race. Jupiter orders Hercules, who was widely traveled and was thus expected to know all nations of the world, to go and find out who this cha- racter is. Hercules is shocked at the shape of this unusual fellow, his limping gait and his hoarse, inarticulate voice, reminiscent of a sea animal.1 He be- gins to think that his thirteenth labor has arrived when on closer inspection he realizes that the beast may be some kind of human being. Being a ‘Greekling’ (Graeculus), Hercules addresses him with a Homer- ic verse: ‘Who are you and from where? What are your city and parents?’ In Odyssey 1,170 this line2 is addressed by Telemachus to a female goddess (Athene) disguised as a male (Mentes); here it is appropriately adapted to render the ambiguity of race and species surrounding this character. Her- cules’ question provokes the following reaction from the newly arrived, who is none other than the deceased emperor Claudius: ‘Claudius rejoiced that there were philologi up there; he began to hope that there would be some place for his historical works’ (Eden’s translation). So he, too, used a verse of Homer (Odyssey 9,39) to indicate that he was a Caesar and said: ‘The wind, bearing me from Ilion, brought me to the Cicones’.

  • Seneca's Agamemnon: a Literary Translation with Annotations
    Seneca’s Agamemnon: A Literary Translation with Annotations A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences 2017 by Jason Clay B.S. Loyola University New Orleans, 2014 Committee Chairs: Lauren Donovan Ginsberg, Ph.D. and Valeria Sergueenkova, Ph.D. Abstract This project is a literary translation of Seneca the Younger’s Agamemnon. As the only extant Latin tragedian, Seneca’s work is invaluable to the history of drama. In the past, Seneca’s tragedies were understudied, yet they are now steadily gaining critical attention following a renewed interest in Silver Latin. This project aims to fill one of the gaps that previous inattention has caused: there are not many modern translations of Seneca’s tragedies, with the exception of Fitch’s Loeb, and A.J. Boyle’s translations and commentaries on Senecan tragedies. In my translation and annotation, I hope to underscore what makes Seneca’s tragedies so fascinating and worthy of study. With regards to translation, I tried to remain close to the original Latin, but I also recognize that Seneca’s style can be a bit clunky if one tries to adhere too closely. A major component of Seneca’s style is the influence of rhetoric and declamation, including frequent alliteration and wordplay that I tried to include in my translation. I wanted to highlight the intense emotion these characters feel. These are characters who are struggling to control their heightened emotions, and I hope to catch their struggle.

  • The Pseudo-Senecan Seneca on the Good Old Days: the Motif of the Golden Age in the Octavia
    The Pseudo-Senecan Seneca on the Good Old Days: The Motif of the Golden Age in the Octavia Oliver Schwazer I. Introduction In his fabula praetexta entitled Octavia, the playwright stages the historical events that occurred during the reign of the last Julio-Claudian emperor in 62 CE.1 Following the divorce from his wife Octavia and re-marriage to another woman, Poppaea Sabina, the emperor gives the order for the former to be exiled. Neither a thorough dispute with his advisor Seneca2 nor the interventions of the pro-Octavia Chorus of Romans can deter Nero from his decision to put down the riots amongst the populace by using the sentence of Octavia as a warning.3 For a number of reasons, the Octavia has always been one of the most intriguing and in many ways most controversial pieces of Latin literature. While the fact that this play has been almost fully preserved can be regarded as extremely gratifying, not least because it stands in contrast to the number of praetextae known to us from no more than a few fragments, or even just one, it is particularly its textual transmission that has overshadowed scholarly dispute. Due to its sharp opposition to the eight mythological plays — excluding the Hercules Oetaeus of doubtful authorship — doubts have been raised about the assumption that the Octavia has been transmitted in manuscripts along with the tragedies now unanimously assigned to Seneca the Younger. To many researchers it seems inconceivable that the earlier advisor and later adversary of Nero would choose to appear as a dramatis persona on stage, particularly in a play where the contemporary emperor was presented in such a disreputable light.

Philologia Classica 2020, 15 (1), 88–95. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu20.2020.107 This paper aims to revise the status quaestionis of the title of a play by Seneca preserved in two commonly recognised variants — Phoenissae and Thebais — and two less well-known vari- ants — Phoenissa and Antigona. It has been generally accepted that only the title Phoenissae is correct, and that this title was modelled on Euripides’ drama of the name. This view, however, can hardly be deemed plausible, considering the substantial differences between Seneca’s and Euripides’ Phoenissae. Moreover, it has been widely held that there is no analogy for the title Thebais in the dramatic tradition but that it has equivalents in epic texts, which has led to the conclusion that Thebais is an ill-chosen interpolation. The other variants of the title have not been discussed at all. In this article we scrutinise previously disregarded sources and argue that all the play’s titles may have originated in Classical Antiquity and may be regarded as synonyms.
