Indeed, the avowed purpose of The Rhetoric ofImitation, published in that year, was, as Charles Segal stated in his foreword to the volume, to "bring [ . ] before an English-speaking public a book that consolidates new approaches to literary study with erudition, originality, and penetrating insight. "1 In some ways, the volume succeeded brilliantly, introducing Conte to a wide American readership and making him an active force in Latin studies on these shores.

Pliny himself begins the text of his Natural History with a detailed list of his sources, and he thereby affirms one of the text’s central messages – namely, that at any point in human history, a man’s individual achievements are dependent upon the achievements of the human species as a whole and upon the antecedent efforts of the members of the previous generation to pass on the collective patrimony of the human race.

The Six Books of Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura: Antecedents and Influence Abstract Lucretius’ De rerum natura is one of the relatively few corpora of Greek and Roman literature that is structured in six books. It is distinguished as well by features that encourage readers to understand it both as a sequence of two groups of three books (1+2+3, 4+5+6) and also as three successive pairs of books (1+2, 3+4, 5+6). This paper argues that the former organizations scheme derives from the structure of Ennius’ Annales and the latter from Callimachus’ book of Hynms. It further argues that this Lucretius’ union of these two six-element schemes influenced the structure employed by Ovid in the Fasti. An appendix endorses Zetzel’s idea that the six-book structure of Cicero’s De re publica marks that work as well as a response to Lucretius’ poem.

Don Quixote as World Emperor: Cervantes, Titian and Luca Cambiaso Frederick A. de Armas Although Don Quixote has been popular ever since it was first published, its canonization as a work that was more than just a funny book can be traced, according to Rachael Schmidt, to the 1738 deluxe edition published in England, with images that depicted Cervantes as a Hercules or Apollo surrounded by the Muses, and going to Mount Parnassus with the weapons of satire to rid literature of the monstrous structures and images of the books of chivalry. Don Quixote’s madness was thus a tool for satire. And yet his folly was much more. It reflected an imperial vision that pervaded most of Europe during this period.1 In the very first chapter of the novel, the reader learns the purpose of the chivalric exercise: “Already the poor man fancied himself crowned by the valour of his arms, at least with the empire of Trebizond” (33).2 Thus, Don Quixote’s troubled dream is rather ambitious.

  • Wit and Transgression in Roman Literature and Thought (CX 268/368)
    Roman Laughter: Wit and Transgression in Roman Literature and Thought (CX 268/368) Time and place: Lectures: Fridays 12-2, Oculus 1.02 Latin text classes: Fridays 11-1, H3.55 Overview Can we ever get a window onto what made the Romans laugh? Is such a question naïve? Studying how the comic operates in Latin texts is a slippery exercise that seems to connect us (physically, emotionally, intellectually) with Roman experience while at the same time revealing the strangeness and unknowability of the Roman world. In this honours module, we will read a range of Latin texts that perform or have something to say about wit and humour – whether puerile, grotesque, bitter, farcical, subtle, philosophical, aggressive or abusive – and cover genres and forms from epigram to satire, theatre to oratory, from the second century BCE to the early second century CE. We will also juxtapose ancient thinking about humour with both the latest classical scholarship on Roman laughter and selected modern texts on the sociology, psychoanalysis and philosophy of joking (e.g. Freud, Bakhtin, Bergson). Investigating what and who gets laughed at (and why) in Latin literature will make us giggle, balk, and scratch our heads: it will also take us straight to the heart of questions to do with literary history, cultural identity, gender, politics and power in ancient Rome. A wide range of texts and genres will be considered, but individual lectures and seminars will be devoted to single authors and texts, and you will be able to narrow your focus in the termly coursework. Everyone should read the full list of core texts in English as soon as possible.

OVID’S PREQUEL TO EURIPIDES’ MEDEA 476: THE INTERTEXTUAL TENSION OF SAVING JASON CHIZM PAYNE Chizm Payne is an undergraduate student studying Classics at Brigham Young University. He is graduating in April 2015 and preparing for graduate work in the fall. More than four hundred years afer Euripides’ Medea was presented to its Athenian audience, Ovid published his Metamorphoses. Although Ovid’s poem comes centuries afer its mythological predecessors, it still sets the stage for readers of the earlier Euripidean text.1 In Book VII of the Metamorphoses, Ovid creates his own version of the Jason and Medea myth, beginning his episode back in Colchis, where Jason is still attempting to obtain the Golden Fleece. Among versions like the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes and the Medea of Seneca, the Ovidian text presents a Medea who expresses power- ful psychological anxiety about future events, events that will take place in Euripides’ version.

  • Virgil's Anti-Augustan Longing for the Roman Republic in the Aeneid
    Eulogy for the Republic: Virgil’s Anti-Augustan Longing for the Roman Republic in the Aeneid By: Dylan McAuley CLCV 498: Major Seminar December 14, 2017 Dylan McAuley is a double major in Classical Civilization and Political Science with minors in Law and Archaeology. Throughout his academic career Dylan has studied in Geneva and Beijing and has traveled around the United States with the University’s Mock Trial team. For as long as he can remember, Dylan has wanted to study Classics and has considered it a privilege to do so at the University of Richmond culminating in his analysis of the portrayal of Augustus in Virgil’s Aeneid. And here is the man promised to you, Augustus Caesar, born of the gods, Who will establish again a Golden Age In the fields of Latium. –Virgil1 1 Virgil, the Aeneid, trans. Stanley Lombardo (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing, 2005), Book VI, 936-942. Upon first reading Virgil’s Aeneid it can be easy for a reader to conclude based on the praise surrounding Augustus anytime he is mentioned directly in the text, that the epic is a strongly pro-Augustan work; a work designed to honor Augustus and his accomplishments in building the Empire. However, while at first glance this may appear to be the case, a second, closer reading may reveal Virgil’s far more critical viewpoints of both Augustus and his Empire’s replacement of the Roman Republic. A masterpiece that has survived the ravages of time, the Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas and his flight from the sacking of Troy with his family and a small group of survivors, mostly soldiers, women, and children, as they seek to resettle in Italy.

  • Ritual, Time and Poetics in the Aeneid
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Rereading the Death of Turnus: Ritual, Time and Poetics in the Aeneid Version 1.0 January 2007 Kellam Conover Princeton University Abstract: The death of Turnus, which is depicted in terms evocative of sacrificial rite, evinces a close interconnection between ritual and poetics in Vergil’s Aeneid. By reincorporating Juturna into the economy of sacrificial imagery at the epic’s close, I argue that Turnus’ sacrificial death should be seen as a metapoetic act. Indeed, as suggested by an examination of how time operates in the epic and especially in its final scenes, time in the poem is structured like time in ritual practice. The Aeneid thus engages the reader in a process of ritually renewing the past. © Kellam Conover. [email protected] Conover January 2007 2 REREADING THE DEATH OF TURNUS: RITUAL, TIME, AND POETICS IN THE AENEID Kellam M. Conover Vergil’s Aeneid is a poem profoundly concerned with the origins of Rome and especially the ritual significance of Rome’s past. As a result, throughout the poem ritual and poetics are closely related.1 Indeed, not only does ritual form an important subject of the poem,2 but also, as recent critics have shown, ritual practice like sacrifice functions on a conceptual level as one of the main structuring principles of the Aeneid’s poetics.3 One important locus for this tie between ritual and poetics comes in the epic’s final scene. There Turnus’ death is framed in sacrificial terms, both by Aeneas, who claims that Pallas has immolated Turnus, marking him for death (immolat, 12.949), and by Vergil, who employs sacrificial imagery in his characterization of the Rutulian throughout Book 12.
