Senecan tragic characters and choruses often echo the language of Virgil’s epic in provocative ways; these constitute a contrastive reworking of the original Virgilian contents and context, one that has not to date been fully considered by scholars.

  • 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).

  • Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G
    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

  • Further Commentary Notes
    Virgil Aeneid X Further Commentary Notes Servius, the author of a fourth-century CE commentary on Virgil is mentioned several times. Servius based his notes extensively on the lost commentary composed earlier in the century by Aelius Donatus. A version of Servius, amplified by material apparently taken straight from Donatus, was compiled later, probably in the seventh or eighth century. It was published in 1600 by Pierre Daniel and is variously referred to as Servius Auctus, Servius Danielis, or DServius. Cross-reference may be made to language notes – these are in the printed book. An asterisk against a word means that it is a term explained in ‘Introduction, Style’ in the printed book. A tilde means that the term is explained in ‘Introduction, Metre’ in the printed book. 215 – 6 In epic, descriptions of the time of day, particularly dawn, call forth sometimes surprising poetic flights. In Homer these are recycled as formulae; not so in Virgil (for the most part), although here he is adapting a passage from an earlier first- century epic poet Egnatius, from whose depiction of dawn seems to come the phrase curru noctivago (cited in Macrobius, Sat. 6.5.12). This is the middle of the night following Aeneas’s trip to Caere. The chronology of Books VIII – X is as follows: TWO DAYS AGO Aeneas sails up the Tiber to Evander (VIII). NIGHT BEFORE Aeneas with Evander. Venus and Vulcan (VIII). Nisus and Euryalus (IX). DAY BEFORE Evander sends Aeneas on to Caere; Aneneas receives his armour (VIII). Turnus attacks the Trojan camp (IX, X).

  • Of Turnus in the Aeneid Michael Kelley
    Tricks and Treaties: The “Trojanification” of Turnus in the Aeneid Michael Kelley, ‘18 In a poem characterized in large part by human intercourse with the divine, one of the most enigmatic augury passages of Virgil’s Aeneid occurs in Book XII, in which Juturna delivers an omen to incite the Latins toward breaking their treaty with the Trojans. The augury passage is, at a superficial level, a deceptive exhortation addressed to the Latins, but on a meta- textual, intra-textual, and inter-textual level, a foreshadowing of the downfall of Turnus and the Latins. In this paper, I will begin by illustrating how the deception within Juturna’s rhetoric and linguistic allusions to deception in the eagle apparition indicate a true meaning which supersedes Juturna’s intended trickery. Then, in demonstrating inter-textual and intra-textual paradigms for Turnus, I will explain how the omen, and the associations called for therein, actually anticipate Turnus’s impending, sacrificial death. Finally, I will address the implications of my claim, presenting an interpretation of a sympathetic Turnus and a pathetically deceived Juturna. While the omen which follows is not necessarily false, Juturna’s rhetoric, spoken in the guise of Turnus’s charioteer Metiscus,1 is marked by several rhetorical techniques that are, ultimately, fruitful in inciting the Latins toward combat. Attempting to invoke their better reason, Juturna begins the speech with several rhetorical questions that appeal to their sense of honor and their devotion to Turnus.2 Her description of the Trojans as a fatalis manus, translated by Tarrant as “a troop protected by fate,”3 is most likely sarcastic, referencing what she deems a self-important insistence on prophecy from the Trojans.

  • The Articulation of Space in Shakespeare's King Lear And
    “Where am I now?”: The Articulation of Space in Shakespeare’s King Lear and Marlowe’s Dido, Queen of Carthage Along with The Massacre at Paris, Dido, Queen of Carthage has traditionally been one of the more neglected plays of Marlowe’s oeuvre. Apparently written during the playwright’s university years (quite possibly with the help of Thomas Nashe),1 and retelling as it does the events of Books One and Four of Virgil’s Aeneid, Dido has often been treated as closer to an academic exercise in dramatic translation than a play that can stand alongside the more universally acknowledged achievements of Marlowe’s career. Despite this, readings of the play conducted since the mid-1990s have shown it to be considerably more complex than previously acknowledged. Astute new historicist and postcolonial readings have shown that the play simultaneously engages in and interrogates the legitimisation of colonial power through association with mytho-historical antecedents. At a time when Elizabethan England was attempting to establish an intellectual framework for its initial forays into colonial expansion in Ireland and the New World, Marlowe’s play re-imagines a formative moment in the Roman empire’s mythical foundation by adapting a section of an epic Roman poem that was itself a legitimising tool for the first emperor, Augustus.2 In the play, Troy is a site which generates legitimacy; it is made unambiguously clear that the city in Italy which Aeneas will The definitive version of this article is published here: Duxfield, Andrew, “‘Were am I now?’: The Articulation of Space in Shakespeare’s King Lear and Marlowe’s Dido, Queen of Carthage’, Cahiers Élisabéthains 88 (2015), 81–93, DOI: 10.7227/CE.88.1.6 1 For an account of the scholarly debate surrounding the extent of Nashe’s involvement in the writing of the play, and a rejection of the tendency to conceive of Dido as a university play, see Martin Wiggins, “When did Marlowe Write Dido, Queen of Carthage?”, The Review of English Studies 59.241 (2008), 521-41, 524-6.
