Chapter Eleven. Visual Copies And Memory
While classicists have long been accustomed to the idea of variations between stories and manuscripts, classical art historians approach the problems of copies with an ingrained bias toward Greek art that makes them treat Roman copies, if they judge them aesthetically fine, as exact replicas of lost Greek originals. This chapter redresses that lack of balance. It deals with a consideration of what Greeks and Romans thought about copies. The most …

The Tarquins and Servius Tullius at Banquet
Jocelyn Penny Small, The Tarquins and Servius Tullius at Banquet, p. 247-264. A set of late Etruscan funerary urns generally identified as " Melanippa the Wise " is reinterpreted as representing the Tarquinis and Servius Tullius at banquet. In particular, the presence of a figure carrying the fasces removes this group of urns from the Greek realm and firmly places it in an Etrusco-Roman context, as a discussion of the concept of period costume sh…

Cacus and Marsyas in Etrusco-Roman Legend
This book discusses how Greek and South Italian vase paintings of the musical contest between Apollo and Marsyas became the model for Etruscan representations of Cacus ambushed by the Vibennae brothers, two Etruscan heroes of the sixth century B.C. The study demonstrates that the Etruscans knowingly adapted Greek iconographic forms to represent their own legends.Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-de…

Plautus and the Three Princes of Serendip
Adaptability enables folktales to survive for long periods of time. What began as an oral tale may become the basis of later literary works. The tale retains its basic elements while undergoing alterations and embellishments to suit its different contexts, both social and literary. The ‘Inclusa’ is such an example. Stith Thompson reduces the tale to its bare essentials as ‘underground passage to paramour's house. Woman goes from one to the other.…
The Death of Lucretia
During the Hellenistic period the Etruscans depicted not only Greek myths on their funerary urns but also Etruscan-Roman legends. This article studies one small group of urns which were previously identified as the death of Theano from Euripides’ Melanippe Desmotis and which are here interpreted as the only extant classical representations of the death of Lucretia. A servant or two stands behind Lucretia who has committed suicide on the right, wh…
