  • Esse and -que in Late Latin prose rhythm

    Open AccessNigel HolmesARTICLEPallas2017References: 7

    Prose rhythm provides insight into two aspects of Late Latin pronunciation. Metrically subordinate esse at sentence end tends not to count towards the clausula, although it has metrical value in penultimate position. Different writers, however, seem to have had different ideas of why forms of esse should not be pronounced, so that some omit it only in elision, others in every case. Against the view of some modern scholars, -que is treated as thou…

  • Interrogative Nam in Early Latin

    Nigel HolmesARTICLEMnemosyne2012References: 4

    The article examines the use of nam in close association with a question word (e.g. quisnam, nam quis ) in early Latin. As Kroon (1995, 165-5) observes, the use mirrors explicative nam , in that it is found when a speaker seeks supplementary information, while explicative nam is used to provide it. If interrogative nam arose from a sarcastic use of explicative nam to comment on a dialogue partner’s failure to supply information, this could accoun…

  • Gaudia nostra

    Open AccessNigel HolmesARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1995Cited by: 1References: 1

    In an earlier article in Classical Quarterly , S. J. Harrison explored the varying frequency of hexameter-endings of the type discordia taetra , where a noun that ends in short a is followed by its epithet with the same termination. It appears from this that while most pre-Augustan poets allow a fairly high frequency of such verse-endings (e.g. Lucretius 1:130, Catullus 1:204), some Augustan poets and their imitators show a distinct tendency to a…

  • Notes on Lucan 10

    Open AccessNigel HolmesARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1993

    Describing Caesar's feast in Alexandria, Lucan comments on the folly of the Egyptians in displaying their riches to him, an armed guest already waging civil war, when even the more virtuous and austere Roman generals of antiquity - Fabricius, Curius and Cincinnatus - would be tempted to take such wealth in triumph for their country

  • Notes on Lucan

    Open AccessNigel HolmesARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1991Cited by: 1References: 1

    ‘Phoceus’is ambiguous. It could mean ‘Phocian, of Phocis’, and thus ‘Massilian’. Massilia was founded by refugees from Phocaea; but Latin writers sometimes put instead Phocis , a name which Lucan also used for Massilia. Alternatively it could be a proper name appropriate to a Massilian. It is difficult to decide between the two readings: while no other participant is mentioned simply as a Roman or a Greek, some do appear unnamed. I prefer to see …
