  • Furthest Voices in Virgil's Dido I
    FURTHEST VOICES IN VIRGIL’S DIDO I ‘We have to stop somewhere, but we also have to face the fact that any par- ticular stopping-place is therefore our choice, and carries with it ideological implications.’ Don Fowler 1 ‘Magnus est Maro’. I. L. La Cerda 2 Part one Reading Dido – in the Aeneid and beyond – has always been an intensely charged literary and political game. A sensitive, loving woman, Dido offers Aeneas a real alternative to the complex business of setting Rome in motion, and her death shows the enormous price there is to pay in terms of human fulfilment and happiness for the sake of empire building. How more or less sympathetic and straightforward she is seen to be is of course crucial to our perception of Aeneas as epic hero, and to the meaning of the Aeneid as a whole. It is only natural that throughout the 20th century, and into the 21st, critics have over- whelmingly packaged this fascinating character as the archetypical ‘other voice’ to the poem’s teleological (not to say ‘Augustan’) plot. 1 D. P. FOWLER 1997: 25 = 2000: 127-128. 2 LA CERDA: vol. 1, p. 441. Furthest Voices in Virgil’s Dido 61 This comfortable opposition rests to a significant extent on a one- sided reading of Dido’s emotional intricacies. Already ancient poets and readers, from Ovid to the Christians, vigorously edited Virgil’s Dido to produce their own challenge to his epic. Building upon Heinze’s influ- ential treatment, modern critics have favoured a comparable approach: current readings emphasize the image of a loving and forlorn heroine whose short outbursts of rage and fury are evanescent – and justified.

  • Chiasmus in Ancient Greek and Latin Literatures
    Chiasmus in Ancient Greek and Latin Literatures John W. Welch Notwithstanding the fact that most recent scholarly attention has dealt with the occurrence of chiasmus in ancient Near Eastern languages and literatures, a signicant amount of chiasmus is to be found in ancient Greek and Latin literatures as well. Indeed, the word ,,chiasmus” itself stems from the Greek word chiazein, meaning to mark with or in the shape of a cross, and chiasmus has been earnestly studied in Greek and Latin syntax and style far more extensively and many years longer than is has even been acknowledged in the context of Semitic and other ancient writings. That chiasmus has received more attention in the Classical setting than in other ancient literatures is at the same time both ironic and yet completely understandable. The irony lies in the fact that more scholarly acceptance and utilization of chiasmus is found in connection with the appreciation of Western literary traditions than in the study of other ancient literatures, whereas chiasmus is relatively simple and certainly less informative in respect to the Greek and Latin authors than it is in regard to many of the writers from other arenas of the ancient world. One would expect the greater efforts to be made where the rewards promise to be the more attractive. Yet this situation is also easily explained. For one thing, numerous Western scholars have exhaustively studied secular Greek literary texts since the thirteenth century, and Latin, since it was spoken in Rome. The use of literary devices in Hebrew literature, on the other hand, has only been given relatively sparse scholarly treatment in the West for something over two hundred years, and the study of gures of speech in most other ancient languages, dialects and literatures can still be said to be somewhat in a state of infancy.

  • New Latin Grammar
    NEW LATIN GRAMMAR BY CHARLES E. BENNETT Goldwin Smith Professor of Latin in Cornell University Quicquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta Percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles: Omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat. —HORACE, Ars Poetica. COPYRIGHT, 1895; 1908; 1918 BY CHARLES E. BENNETT PREFACE. The present work is a revision of that published in 1908. No radical alterations have been introduced, although a number of minor changes will be noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of the Latin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the end of the book will be found an Index to the Sources of the Illustrative Examples cited in the Syntax. C.E.B. ITHACA, NEW YORK, May 4, 1918 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The present book is a revision of my Latin Grammar originally published in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive Active, the endings -īs, -īmus, -ītis are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive. Apart from the foregoing, only minor and unessential modifications have been introduced. In its main lines the work remains unchanged.

A Study of Discontinuous Syntax ……………………………….………………( 12) Abstract The study deals with hyperbaton as a figure of speech in which words in any sentence are not in their expected order. It is classified as a figure of disorder and is often used to emphasize a particular word or phrase. It refers to a separation of words which belong together, often to emphasize the first of the separated words or to create a certain image. The framework of this study is organized in two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part gives the introduction of the study where the definition and etymology as well as varieties are presented.

  • AP/IB Summer Preparation for Advanced Latin I. the Single
    AP/IB Summer Preparation for Advanced Latin I. The single easiest and most effective way to be prepared for an Advanced Latin class, and, by extension, an AP or IB exam, is to KNOW VOCABULARY!!!!!! Attached are two lists: one of vocab words in the first six books of the Aeneid occurring 15+ times, and another of those occurring 9-14. They should be memorized ASAP including principle parts, gender, etc. There are dozens of websites devoted to the Aeneid and vocab. Google some and get started. AP sells vocab cards (laminating is a good way to avoid ruining your vocab cards while at the pool/beach). These will constitute the first few weeks’ vocab quizzes. II. The other essential is an intimate knowledge of the events, personages, and themes of the Aeneid, especially the first six books. Attached is a people, places, things review over which there will be a summative test at the end of the third week of classes. III. Rhetorical Devices: you must learn these. The ppt. is due the first full week of classes.

  • Homer in the Perfect Tense
    HOMER IN THE PERFECT TENSE The Posthomerica of Quintus Smyrnaeus and the Poetics of Impersonation Emma Greensmith Peterhouse This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Abstract Homer in the Perfect Tense: The Posthomerica of Quintus Smyrnaeus and the Poetics of Impersonation Emma Greensmith The thesis has been written as part of the AHRC collaborative research project Greek Epic of the Roman Empire: A Cultural History. This project seeks to give the first cultural-historical analysis of the large, underexploited corpus of Greek epic poetry composed in the transformative period between the 1st and the 6th centuries C.E. The thesis focuses on questions of literary identity in one of the most challenging texts from this corpus, the Posthomerica by Quintus of Smyrna (c. 3rd century C.E.). My central contention is that Quintus’ mimicry of Homer represents a radically new formative poetics, suggesting a cultural movement towards mimesis, necromancy and close encounters with the past. After a detailed study of what I term the reanimating culture of imperial Greece (chapter 1), and a comprehensive reanalysis of the compositional techniques of the text (chapter 2), I identify a number of tropes of poetic identity from different ancient literary modes: programmatic proems (chapter 3), memory (4), filiation (5) and temporality (6). I show how Quintus co-opts these themes for his new poetics, to turn the symbolic toolkit of contrast imitation into a defence of writing inter-Homeric epic. This analysis insists on rethinking the nature of the relationship between the poetry of this era and that of previous aesthetic traditions: particularly, I argue against a view of the Posthomerica as Alexandrian, and see it instead pushing back against the Callimachus school of small, new poetry.

  • Talking About Homer
    CHAPTER ONE TALKING ABOUT HOMER Poetic Madness, Philosophy, and the Birth of Criticism TALKING ABOUT HOMER It is, at this point, impossible to trace the beginning of the Western idea of poetic madness that was certainly already part of Homer’s world. Socrates, however, develops a theory of poetic madness1 that has become deeply impor- tant not just to the way we understand poetry, but to philosophy’s self- understanding. This theory both manifests and unfolds the tension between poetic and philosophical speaking. This chapter, therefore, will return to Plato’s ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry—not via the Republic, but via the Ion, a text that sets out to create an identity for philosophy in contradistinction to poetry, with which it competes in the marketplaces of speech. In the first part of this chapter, I want to analyze Plato’s concept of po- etic madness as it first emerges in the short dialogue Ion. There, poetic mad- ness serves to differentiate the procedures of philosophy and poetry as the controlled and repeatable labor of thought versus the spontaneous produc- tion of a text that is by definition unique; in the process, the Ion uses the idea of poetic madness to establish the necessity of criticism as a discipline differ- ent from poetry. While the dialogue does not outline the field of criticism as a concrete practice, it argues for the necessity of a discipline devoted to the knowledge of poetry, a discipline that would operate under the aegis of philosophy rather than of poetry. I will suggest that in its relation to poetry, philosophy essentially defines itself as criticism, as a discourse about poetry that poetry itself cannot achieve.
