  • The Roman Tragic Spirit

    L A MackayARTICLECalifornia Studies in Classical…1975

    Latin tragedy presents interesting and uneven problems. We have too little evidence from the early period, and, some would say, too much from the later. Horace was dissatisfied with the primitive carelessness or clumsiness of the early tragedians, but their spirit, he judged, was natura sublimis et acer; namque spirat tragicum satis etfeliciter audet.' He hoped for a renaissance of Latin tragedy which would combine the boldness, loftiness, and in…

  • "Sallust's "Catiline

    L A MackayARTICLEPhoenix1962

    BETWEEN THE DATE and the purpose of Sallust's Catiline some connection may reasonably be expected. There is little evidence for exact dating, between the obvious limits of Catiline's death in 62 and Sallust's death in 35. The tone of the comparison between Caesar and Cato implies that they are dead; but this is an avowed digression, which, though it may date the publication in final form, cannot be used with complete confidence to date the compos…

  • On Two Eclogues of Virgil

    L A MackayARTICLEPhoenix1961

    FOR A LONG TIME opinion persisted that Virgil's First Eclogue is an expression of thanks for preservation of his estate, though surely anyone who would be gratified by such thanks was easily gratified. In last twenty years this opinion has undergone grave qualifications,' and perhaps time has come to dispense with it altogether. The identification of Virgil with Tityrus staggered, though it did not quite collapse, under Leo's criticism (Hermes 38…

  • The Well-Disposed and Ill-Used Door (Propertius 1.16)

    L A MackayARTICLEPhoenix1956

    I THAT had once been thrown open for great triumphs, a door renowned for Tarpeian modesty, whose threshold was thronged by gilded chariots, and moist with the tearful entreaties of captives, now wounded by nocturnal brawls of drunkards often I complain, smitten by unworthy hands, and I lack not graceless garlands hanging, and dead torches lying as a sign to those who are shut out.... Meanwhile I am driven to lamentation by grievous complaints, ma…

  • Pharsalus and the Roman Fate

    L A MackayARTICLEPhoenix1952

    THESE lines aroused Houseman's particular scorn (Introd. xxiii, xxiv) and occasioned an ingenious, elegant, and unnecessary emendation. His criticism is valid against those who, in the tradition of the adnotationes, take the lines in the purely quantitative sense of gross population statistics: tantum hominum peribit in hoc proelio, quantum non possint saecula multa reparare ... tanti peribunt ut omne genus hominum omnibus saeculis reparare non p…
