Reviewed by: Translation as Muse: Poetic Translation in Catullus’s Rome by Elizabeth Marie Young Sarah Culpepper Stroup Elizabeth Marie Young.

‘When I read my Cato, it is as if Cato speaks’
Cicero not only wrote dialogues (among other genres), but was one of the ancient authors most explicitly and consciously interested in the literary issues thrown up by use of the dialogue form. Moreover, his use of, and understanding of, the form developed throughout his literary career. This chapter focusses on the introductions to his dialogues, where Cicero speaks about the literary task of creating and re-creating his authorial voice (or voic…
Carmina
Carmina–the plural form of the Latin noun carmen –are rooted in some of Rome's earliest religious, ritualistic, legal, and magical texts. As the word carmen evolved in its usage, however, it also evolved in its social and literary importance. A term that first designated primarily ritual utterances, chants, and spells came to be used of virtually every sort of poetic production that would mark the social, intellectual, and literary life of Rome i…
Catilinarian conspiracy
The Catilinarian conspiracy — one aristocrat's plot to overthrow the Roman state, kill key political figures, seize power for himself, and erase debts—stands out as one of the most vibrantly documented historical events to have contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic

ISBN 978-0-19-532906-3. In Politeness and Politics in Cicero’s Letters, Jon Hall employs a selection of Ciceronian texts in order to examine both the tense verbal negotiations of this period and the ways in which such negotiations depended upon the successful deplo…
Catullus, Cicero, and a Society of Patrons
This is a study of the emergence, development, and florescence of a distinctly 'late Republican' socio-textual culture as recorded in the writings of this period's two most influential authors, Catullus and Cicero. It reveals a multi-faceted textual - rather than more traditionally defined 'literary' - world that both defines the intellectual life of the late Republic, and lays the foundations for those authors of the Principate and Empire who id…

Designing Women
In this paper I argue that the sexually active wives of Aristophanes' Lysistrata are progressively "hetairized"—transformed into comic hetairai—by means of distinctly sympotic visual imagery and linguistic innuendo. After a brief discussion of the late fifth-century dramatic "problem" inherent in the sex-trading wife, I turn to the pan-Hellenic oath (193-237). The language of this oath, evocative of the imagery of red-figure sympotic vessels, ini…
