A Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses
Comprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths, Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western culture. It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poeti…

Into the Woods (Via Cuma 320, Bacoli)
Reading Metamorphosis in Ovid’s Metamorphoses
The influence of the Metamorphoses on Western culture is of such magnitude that the preceding tradition is at risk of vanishing from sight. Nonetheless, Ovid’s poem obviously stems from the Greek tradition. On many points, Ovid’s sources have been mapped and precursors pointed out. This chapter’s exposé turns the perspective in a most illuminating way: instead of looking for similarities, it uses the conclusions of previous research to define mor…

Marginality, Canonicity, Passion
In recent years the discipline of classics has been experiencing a profound transformation, which affects not only methodologies and hermeneutic practices (i.e. how classicists read and interpret ancient literature) but also, and more importantly, the objects of study themselves (i.e. what they read and interpret). One of the most important factors has been the establishment of reception studies. The reception of classical literature and culture …

This lucid and well-written book offers more than it promises. At a surface level, it is a close reading of the first half of the Aeneid, w…
Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative
The study of Homeric imitations in Vergil has one of the longest traditions in Western culture, starting from the very moment the Aeneid was circulated. This is the first English translation of one of the most important and influential modern studies in this tradition. As a revised and expanded edition it advances innovative approaches even as it recuperates significant earlier interpretations, from Servius to G. N. Knauer. Approaching Homeric al…
The Structure of Aeneid 10
This chapter discerns to what extent the presence of a model cooperates in making legible the narrative implicating it, how it serves to guide the reader, and aids in making sense of the text. It shows to what degree Homer comes into play for reading the plot. Here, the chapter is concerned with not just occasional contacts between single speech acts but also with entire implicit scripts and plot lines that the model projects upon the new text an…

The Death of Pallas
This chapter pays attention to the relation between the transformation of the Homeric model (the moment of origin and construction of the new epic work) and what the Aeneid seeks to convey to its readers; and that it may also involve Vergil's attempt to construct a radically new “epic addressee.” An area particularly suited to this inquiry is a portion of the text where a maximum of Homeric redundancy occurs with a maximum of purposeful informati…
The Death of Turnus
This chapter analyzes how the Homeric model—that is, the way in which Vergil receives and actively models the text of the Homeric poems—does not exercise just one, unified sort of intertextual function. As the previous chapters have shown, analyzing individual narrative sequences entailed reckoning with a plurality of models. The composition of a text is a process, and once carried out, it also creates a kind of thickness: a stratification of cul…

The contributors include many leading scholars in the field. Individual essays are devoted to Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Lucretius, Ovid, Tacitus and Virgil, and there are also essays on the Renaissance reception of Virgil and on principles of editorial practice.

Roman Callimachus
Comprehensive survey of the importance of Callimachus in Classical Roman poetry and of the transformations of his texts through allusive manipulation, appropriation, and poetological discussion
The Ovidian career model
THE OVIDIAN CAREER Ovid has the historical privilege of being next in line and the first to react to what had been the boom in poetic self-reference and auto(bio)graphy in the times of Catullus, Virgil, Propertius and Horace. He is also the one who does the most to continue Horace's invention of a ‘literary system’ and a ‘school’ and an ‘Augustan age’ model of Roman poetry (compare e.g. Horace, Serm . 1.10.31–50 with Ovid, Tristia 4.10.41–56; Ex …
Classical Literary Careers and their Reception
This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career - Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancie…

Lyric in Rome
But Horace steals the stage not just because, thanks to the vagaries of transmission, his texts are isolated, or because of his outstanding quality and artistic personality. His carmina (poems or songs) are isolated because of authorial choice and conscious, sometimes wily, self-positioning. He is a canonical author because he wants to be canonised. This is clearly a self-conscious difference vis-à-vis his Greek predecessors. Alcaeus and Pindar m…
The Cambridge Companion to Greek Lyric
Greek lyric poetry encompassed a wide range of types of poem, from elegy to iambos and dithyramb to epinician. It particularly flourished in the Archaic and Classical periods, and some of its practitioners, such as Sappho and Pindar, had significant cultural influence in subsequent centuries down to the present day. This Companion provides an accessible introduction to this fascinating and diverse body of poetry and its later reception. It takes …
Per una lettura delle Metamorfosi di Ovidio
Questo saggio vuole proporre molto in breve una sintesi di un lungo lavoro che ho sviluppato sul poema ovidiano 'Metamorfosi', lavoro che ha compreso anche la cura editoriale di una serie di commenti al poema, completata nel 2015. Vuole rispondere a una duplice domanda: in che cosa la metamorfosi come idea romana si differenzia dalla tradizione greca della metamorfosi? e in che misura la trasformazione romana della metamorfosi operata da Ovidio i…
Poetic Garlands
Epigrams, the briefest of Greek poetic forms, had a strong appeal for readers of the Hellenistic period (323-31 B.C.). One of the most characteristic literary forms of the era, the epigram, unlike any other ancient or classical form of poetry, was not only composed for public recitation but was also collected in books intended for private reading. Brief and concise, concerned with the personal and the particular, the epigram emerged in the Hellen…

Livy's Exemplary History
The idea that it is possible to learn from history is fascinating, but also complex. What exactly can you learn from the past? Does it repeat itself? If it does, how can you prevent repetition of evil and ensure repetition of good? Livy's History of Rome is all about people learning or failing to learn from the past, so in many ways his work is an extended exploration of this problem. In this book Dr Chaplin starts from Livy's programmatic claim …

Quaeritis unde is a good opening for a book of the Fasti (5.1). The question and answer form here exemplified is basic to the poem, even if in the classic Callimachean form from which Ovid draws his inspiration it is the poet who asks the questions – and this in fact happens with the exhortation dicite in line 7. But this quaeritis unde has also, I believe, an allusive value: it opens another book of elegiac poetry, Propertius' second book, where…

The Uniqueness of the Carmen Saecvlare and Its Tradition
QUALITY The Carmen saeculare occupies an average of four pages in the printed editions of Horace, and leads a quiet life in an angulus at the margins of his lyric corpus. It was transmitted by our medieval manuscripts and is occasionally quoted by late antique grammatici, just like the rest of what Horace published. Yet there is some uneasiness in the background of modern and contemporary interpretation. The 76-line poem has never been the subjec…

Coverage of essential information is combined with exciting critical approaches. This…

Satire and the poet
Roman satirists are experts at reading the body’s signs. The satirist’s eye, like that of a physician or an expert in physiognomy, is keen at detecting indications of sickness or health, virtue or vice. That the satirist is able to “read past” the body for the condition of the soul is an idea solidly attested already in Lucilius at fr. 678W: “we see that one who is mentally ill gives an indication of this through his body.”
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus
The age of Augustus, commonly dated to 30 BC – AD 14, was a pivotal period in world history. A time of tremendous change in Rome, Italy, and throughout the Mediterranean world, many developments were underway when Augustus took charge and a recurring theme is the role that he played in shaping their direction. The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus captures the dynamics and richness of this era by examining important aspects of political …
The Cambridge Companion to Roman Satire
Satire as a distinct genre of writing was first developed by the Romans in the second century BCE. Regarded by them as uniquely 'their own', satire held a special place in the Roman imagination as the one genre that could address the problems of city life from the perspective of a 'real Roman'. In this Cambridge Companion an international team of scholars provides a stimulating introduction to Roman satire's core practitioners and practices, plac…
