A History of Latin Literature From its Beginnings to the Age of Augustus
Latin literature exploded onto the scene from relatively humble beginnings in the third century BCE. In an astonishingly short time the Romans adopted and adapted nearly all the genres of literature known to them and not only were they well aware of their large-scale appropriation but even, curiously, boasted of it. This readable new history of Latin literature covers the full span of the Roman republic, concluding with the age of Augustus, whose…
Elegy, Tragedy, and the Choice of Ovid (Amores 3.1)
The first poem of Ovid’s third book of Amores is usually thought to be a simple parody of Prodicus’ choice of Heracles, but it is in fact a much more sophisticated meditation on the possibility of a philosophical life choice. This chapter first offers brief discussion of other elegiac divine and quasi-divine epiphanies, of the similarities between this scene and the Judgment of Paris, and of the quintessentially elegiac problem of having two mist…
Authoring, reading, and exploring an Appendix
This introduction outlines the primary contexts for the volume that follows, offering a way to conceive of appendical texts not only as fake or less-than, but as works of literature in their own right. What we know about the specific conditions of production of the three corpora is explored, together with what is and has historically been at stake in the determination of them as genuine or spurious. Taking the poems on their own terms, we suggest…
Close Encounters
This chapter explores the metaleptic incursions of deities into various spheres of narrative and acts of narration, focusing on two cases in Latin love elegy. It first sketches some of the key dynamics of divine epiphany in Greco-Roman poetry from Homer on, differentiating epiphanies in which the divinity inspires the poet from those in which characters receive prophetic information. In Latin love elegy, these categories can overlap, since the el…
Trapped between Scylla and Ciris
This chapter treats the relationship between the pseudo-Vergilian Ciris and Ovid’s Scylla-episode in Book 8 of the Metamorphoses. It does not, however, make any claims about who wrote the Ciris, or even about which text influenced which: studies of Prioritätsbestimmung are legion, dating back for a century, and in large part unconvincing, not least because they disagree about the criteria to be used in determining priority. Instead, I offer a rea…
Constructing Authors and Readers in the Appendices Vergiliana, Tibulliana, and Ouidiana
This volume juxtaposes, for the first time, the set of appendical works associated with three of the most well-known poets of the Augustan age, the Appendices Vergiliana , Tibulliana , and Ouidiana . Scholars who work on these texts tend to treat them in isolation or in comparative contexts to the authentic texts of those authors. This book instead treats them in the light of one another, and asks of them a different set of literary-critical and …
Pseudepigrapha Latina
This volume focuses on the nineteen elegiac poems of the 'Appendix Tibulliana', a series of little-known Latin elegies transmitted as Book 3 of the 'Corpus Tibullianum'. Although it is accepted that they are not the work of Tibullus himself their actual authorship remains unclear and has been hotly disputed: they are notable especially for containing work attributed to Sulpicia, who may be the only female Latin poet we know of from pre-Christian …
Women and War in Antiquity by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris and Alison Keith
410 PHOENIX Women and War in Antiquity. Edited by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris and Alison Keith. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins. 2015. Pp. 341.

Its emphasis is more continental than Anglo-American: while all the contributions are in English, many are theoretical…

Neoptolemus and the Essential Elements of Remorse
In Sophocles’ Philoctetes, we see something extremely close to a modern understanding of remorse, and even a quasi-positive valuation of that emotion. I argue that this is primarily because of Neoptolemus’ youth—he is permitted to feel and express remorse because he is not seen as fully adult. Remorse thus can sometimes serve as a kind of ‘contingent’ virtue for the learner.
Command Performance
The next chapter discusses mutinies in the Roman army, which the historical sources treat as manifesting an increasing degree of interest in empty staging: at first, it is simply assumed that mutinous soldiers are sorry, but as time passes, they are forced to display remorse in more and more dramatic ways.
Ovid and the Coercion of Remorse from Above
Killing Cleitus
The fourth chapter discusses Alexander the Great’s expressions of remorse after his drunken murder of the courtier Cleitus. Here the dark side of remorse emerges more clearly, for his remorse is treated by most of the sources as either simply performative, or as genuine, but pointless, for it does not ameliorate his behaviour.
Agamemnon, Achilles, and the Homeric Roots of Remorse
Agamemnon, Achilles, and the Homeric Roots of Remorse: The first chapter discusses the Homeric roots of remorse, treating in particular Agamemnon’s apology to Achilles, and the various ways in which it does and does not match up to a modern sense of what is necessary; Odysseus’ response shows that it also does not measure up by Homeric standards. By contrast, Achilles’ behaviour after the death of Patroclus shows that Homer is capable of expressi…
The Cambridge Companion to Latin Love Elegy
Latin love elegy is one of the most important poetic genres in the Augustan era, also known as the golden age of Roman literature. This volume brings together leading scholars from Australia, Europe and North America to present and explore the Greek and Roman backdrop for Latin love elegy, the individual Latin love elegists (both the canonical and the non-canonical), their poems and influence on writers in later times. The book is designed as an …
No Regrets
This study examines how the emotions of remorse and regret were manifested in Greek and Roman public life. By discussing the standard lexical denotations of remorse, Fulkerson shows how it was not normally expressed by high-status individuals, but by their inferiors, and how it often served to show defect of character

Emotional Appeals in the Mytilenean Debate
Thucydides’ Mytilenean debate has often been read as a study in opposites, and one of the standard oppositions seen in it is that between reason and passion. This article seeks to show that Cleon’s and Diodotus’ speeches are more similar than different, and that both contain implicit emotional appeals cloaked in the guise of reason. Both men presume that a certain kind of emotional education is necessary to the functioning of democracy, and both …
Neoptolemus grows up? ‘Moral development' and the interpretation of Sophocles’ Philoctetes
Sophocles' Philoctetes , first performed in 409 BCE, is a complex play, engaging with a number of issues that have guaranteed it a great deal of attention through the ages. Among other things, from what we know about the Aeschylean and Euripidean versions, Sophocles offers a far more dynamic work than either of the other two playwrights, involving many plot twists, false resolutions, and, all-but uniquely, a character who seems to grow up in the …
Staging a Mutiny
Discussions of Tacitus' use of theatricality or dramatic episodes are nothing new, but these studies have primarily focused on the Neronian books, where they are seen as particularly appropriate. The notions of performativity and pageantry, however, pervade all of Tacitus' historical writing, even in places where they have not previously been sought. I focus in this article on how Germanicus' conduct while quelling the Rhine mutiny of 14 CE dange…
Apollo, paenitentia, and Ovid's Metamorphoses
Through a comparison of several examples of divine repentance in Ovid's Metamorphoses to their closest human analogue (Apollo/Phaethon and Apollo/Coronis, each in book 2, Apollo/Hyacinthus and Cyparissus, each in book 10) this study attempts both to illustrate the characterization of Apollo in the poem and to raise questions about why Apollo is the god so portrayed. I will suggest that Apollo's paenitentia highlights a key difference between gods…
The Ovidian Heroine as Author
Ovid's Heroides, a catalogue of letters by women who have been deserted, has too frequently been examined as merely a lament. In a new departure, this book portrays the women of the Heroides as a community of authors. Combining close readings of the texts and their mythological backgrounds with critical methods, the book argues that the points of similarity between the different letters of the Heroides, so often derided by modern critics, represe…

(Un)sympathetic Magic
In the Ovidian Corpus, reading and writing are dangerous if not done with great care. Ovid's Laodamia, both hypersensitive and unlucky, is no exception: she shows herself to be an uncritical reader who misconstrues language in a fatal way. She is also a writer, and her carmen (Her. 13) is the "wrong" kind of carmen. The letter that she writes to her husband, Protesilaus, is intended to encourage him to return from the Trojan War, but (along with …
