  • 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.

  • Katabasis in Eliot's the Waste Land
    “I had not thought death had undone so many”: Katabasis in Eliot’s The Waste Land Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in English in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Noah Mastruserio The Ohio State University May 2018 Project Advisor: Professor Sebastian Knowles, Department of English 1 Introduction Of the many works referenced in Eliot’s The Waste Land, Dante’s Divine Comedy holds the most prominent position. Eliot’s dedication to Pound on the title page alludes to a line from Purgatorio, and Dante makes an appearance in every section of the poem, either by direct quote or veiled allusion. Such an association brings Dante’s journey through the Underworld to the forefront of the mind when reading The Waste Land, and provides one of the easiest avenues toward unpacking the poem’s density. But I propose that the poem’s exploration of the Underworld extends beyond a kinship to Dante and toward a deeper structural and thematic debt to the narrative of the katabasis, the descent into the Underworld. I suggest that the five parts of The Waste Land can be united via a traditional katabasis narrative, a narrative of metamorphosis and self-refinement. The katabasis is only one of the many classical and mythological structures Eliot employs throughout the poem. Already thoroughly explored in criticism are his use of the Grail legend1 and the burial and rebirth of a dying god figure. Less so is the appearance of the katabasis in the poem. The poem’s debt to Dante is obvious, but the presence of katabasis extends beyond Eliot quoting pieces of Inferno.

  • Aeneid 7 Page 1 the BIRTH of WAR -- a Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack
    Birth of War – Aeneid 7 page 1 THE BIRTH OF WAR -- A Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack In this essay I will touch on aspects of Book 7 that readers are likely either to have trouble with (the Muse Erato, for one) or not to notice at all (the founding of Ardea is a prime example), rather than on major elements of plot. I will also look at some of the intertexts suggested by Virgil's allusions to other poets and to his own poetry. We know that Virgil wrote with immense care, finishing fewer than three verses a day over a ten-year period, and we know that he is one of the most allusive (and elusive) of Roman poets, all of whom wrote with an eye and an ear on their Greek and Roman predecessors. We twentieth-century readers do not have in our heads what Virgil seems to have expected his Augustan readers to have in theirs (Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Apollonius, Lucretius, and Catullus, to name just a few); reading the Aeneid with an eye to what Virgil has "stolen" from others can enhance our enjoyment of the poem. Book 7 is a new beginning. So the Erato invocation, parallel to the invocation of the Muse in Book 1, seems to indicate. I shall begin my discussion of the book with an extended look at some of the implications of the Erato passage. These difficult lines make a good introduction to the themes of the book as a whole (to the themes of the whole second half of the poem, in fact).
