  • A Zeus and Two Jasons

    Open AccessM E RobinsonARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2026

    This article highlights three previously unnoticed name-acrostics/telestics: the reverse-acrostic ΖΕΥΣ (Zeus) in Callimachus’ Hymn to Zeus (40–3), the reverse-telestic ΙΗΣΩΝ (Iêsôn, the Greek form of Jason) in the final lines of Apollonius of Rhodes’ Argonautica (4.1774–8) and the reverse-telestic IASO (the Latin form of Jason) in the opening lines of Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica (1.4–7). By arguing for the significance of these specific example…

  • Looking Edgeways. Pursuing Acrostics in Ovid and Virgil

    Open AccessM E Robinson, Matthew RobinsonARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2019Cited by: 20References: 34

    What follows is an experiment in reading practice. I propose that we read some key passages of the Aeneid and the Metamorphoses in the active pursuit of acrostics and telestics, just as we have been accustomed to read them in the active pursuit of allusions and intertexts; and that we do so with the same willingness to make sense of what we find. The measure of success of this reading practice will be the extent to which our understanding of thes…

  • Augustan Responses to the Aeneid

    M E Robinson, Matthew RobinsonCHAPTEREpic interactions2006

It assumes that Horace and Propertius are familiar with at least some of the content of the Aeneid while it is being written, and all of the poem before their final books are published. It is important to remember that their response to the Aeneid does not take pla…

  • Salmacis and Hermaphroditus

    Open AccessM Robinson, M E RobinsonARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1999References: 8

    Like most passages in the Metamorphoses , the story of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus benefits greatly from a clear understanding of the traditions with which and against which it is working—such an understanding is not manifest in many recent discussions of the story. As a result, some scholars have been unable to recognize its humour, seeing instead only ‘ein interpretatorisches Problem’. In this paper I hope to clarify the background to this epis…
