Music and Memory in the Ancient Greek and Roman Worlds
Remembered but Not Recorded
This chapter analyzes Livy’s narrative of the events of 207 BCE, when Roman officials addressed a pressing religious and military crisis by commissioning an innovative musical event – a Greek-style maiden procession with a hymn composed by Rome’s first known poet, Livius Andronicus. Livy’s account asks us to confront the question of how Roman musical and ritual traditions were created and remembered, by inviting the reader to witness a tradition …

Cambridge, Massachusetts, and London, England: Harvard University Press, 2019. Pp. 361. $45.00. ISBN 978-0-674-98820-0.

This book examines how the chorus is reimagined in a brief but crucial period in the history of Latin literature, the early Augustan period from 30 to 10 BCE. It argues that in the work of Horace, Virgil, and Propertius, the language and imagery…
Becoming the Lyre
Becoming the Lyre:Arion and Roman Elegy* Lauren Curtis In this essay, I investigate the figure of the Greek poet Arion in Roman elegy, in a case study that reconsiders how musical imagery relates to the representation of genre in Latin poetry. Arion, the legendary Greek singer who was miraculously rescued by a dolphin thanks to the beauty of his music and song, was a well-known figure at Rome. He is mentioned by Cicero and Virgil; Marcus Corneliu…
Ovid's Io and the Aetiology of Lament
This article argues that Ovid's Io episode ( Met. 1.568–747) contains an aetiology that explains the human practice of lament. By simultaneously drawing on and subverting Graeco-Roman traditions about the origins of the mourning voice, Ovid provides a foundation myth for a discourse that will inform his internal and external readers' reactions to the epic's ongoing poetics of transformation, suffering, and loss
