  • Enclitic Rhythms in the Vergilian Hexameter

    Peter L SmithARTICLEPhoenix1982

    A PERSISTENTLY TROUBLESOME QUESTION IN LATIN PHONOLOGY has been the accentuation of enclitic composites.'

    Peter L SmithARTICLEPhoenix1965

    THE MOST PROMINENT PATTERN Of visual imagery in Vergil's Eclogues is that associated with ideas of shade and repose-umbra and otium. Our memorable first impression is of the musician Tityrus, at ease beneath his shady beech: Tityre, tu patulae recubans sub tegmine fagi. This reclining herdsman, sheltered from the sun's direct rays, has been called by Viktor P6schl the archetypal image of the pastoral (das Urbild des Idylls'), and was fated to bec…
