Mythography and Roman Wall Painting
In the first sustained study how Roman wall painting intersects with mythography, this essay explores how both the depiction of myth on walls and the interpretative recreation of mythical narratives by viewers reflect a mythographical mindset. In a careful selection of case studies, the author considers: episodic narratives (Odyssey frieze from the Esquiline); variations on a theme (Actaeon in Casa del Frutteto and Casa di Epidius Rufus); synopti…

Cicero’s Cilician Correspondence
Cicero’s Cilician Correspondence:Space and Auctoritas1 Eleanor Winsor Leach In May 54, Cicero wrote to his younger friend Trebatius Testa, then serving as legal tribune under Caesar in Gaul, with a sharply critical exhortation (7.6.1): “tu modo ineptias istas et desideria urbis et urbanitatis depone et, quo consilio profectus es, id adsiduitate et virtute consequere” (“Just you lay aside these bumblings and cravings for the city and citification,…
M. Atilius Regulus—Making Defeat into Victory
Within the traditions of Roman exemplarity, the case of M. Atilius Regulus, consul for 267 bce and suffect consul in 256 BCE who invaded Carthage during the First Punic War, is singular. As Chris Kraus has observed in her paper with Tacitean acuity, reception frequently overtakes factuality where the memory of past deeds comes into play, and the very ambiguity of Regulus' ultimate fortunes allows for a contextual malleability that builds his exem…

Hypermestra’s Querela
This paper considers questions raised by two historically coincident treatments of the Danaids: one in the narrative sequence central to Horace’s Odes 3.11, another the deployment of Danaus’ fifty daughters as intercolumnar ornaments surrounding the Palatine Temple of Apollo and represented by the three archaizing female herm-figures in nero antico now displayed in the Palatine Antiquarium. Although not, as popularly believed, shown actively murd…

Otium as Luxuria
Among Pliny's more poignant tributes to deceased senatorial colleagues is that honoring C. Fannius, whose death curtailed his writing of a lengthy historical account of the Emperor Nero's victims and abuses of power. The three volumes completed were diligently researched and stylistically engaging, inter sermonem historiamque medios. Frequent, enthusiastically received readings fired the author's desire for further production. Pliny attributes th…

Personal and Communal Memory in the Reading of Horace's Odes, Books 1-3
Personal and Communal Memory in the Reading of Horace’s Odes, Books 1–3 1 Eleanor Winsor Leach Evocations of the River Tiber in flood figure conspicuously in the odes located next to the beginning and ending of Horace’s three books. In both instances, the image creates anxieties. Ode 1.2 dramatizes the river’s turbulence amidst an ominously tempestuous season to foreground public fears for the future of Rome. As readers, we watch (vidimus) the ch…

"Absence and Desire in Cicero's "De Amicitia
The Rhetoric of Space
The Romans were fascinated with landscape--with a love for the organization of space that can be seen as clearly in their pictorial arts as in their arrangement of public and private architecture. In this interdisciplinary work Eleanor Leach links the depiction of landscape in Roman literature and in Roman painting during a formative period of Roman art. In relating the two fields, she focuses on the response of audiences, particularly the way in…

Vergil, Horace, Tibullus
As examples of the Roman poetry book composed of ten poems, Vergil's Eclogues , Horace's Sermones 1 and Tibullus' first book of Elegies are conspicuous for their similarity of form, all three containing poems of uniform metre and comparable length. Although we cannot be certain that these were the first or only ten poem books in the history of Latin poetry, we cannot help but notice the circumstances that draw them together: their close successio…

Vergil's "Eclogues." Landscapes of Experience
Neronian Pastoral and the World of Power
As the third pastoral poet, Calpurnius Siculus was the first to take up the genre fully formed. For all their many differences, Theocritus and Vergil had given bucolic poetry an established frame of reference, a characteristic subject matter, and a self-contained mythology. From a poet in Calpurnius' position whose work would inevitably be measured against that of his predecessors, one would expect a certain amount of generic self-consciousness, …
Vergil's Eclogues
Corydon Revisited
The first thing that the student of Vergilian pastoral may notice in turning to the pastoral Eclogues of Calpurnius Siculus is the obvious symmetrical arrangement of the poems in the later book. While the multitudinous inter-lacings of theme and subject in Vergil's ten poems continue to tease and baffle investigations of the larger organizational pattern, the principles of Calpurnius' design are simple and clear. Instead of ten poems, an even num…
