Caesar and the Bellum Alexandrinum
Das Bellum Alexandrinum beschreibt die Ereignisse des römischen Bürgerkriegs zwischen 49 und 47 v.Chr. und berichtet von Caesars Aufenthalt im ägyptischen Alexandria und seiner Auseinandersetzung mit Ptolemaios XIII. Die beiden Autoren widmen sich in diesem Buch vor allem den bisher weitgehend unerforschten Aspekten der literarischen Technik sowie den Bezügen des Bellum Alexandrinum zur griechischen und frühen römischen Historiografie. Zugleich b…
The style of the Bellum Hispaniense and the evolution of Roman historiography
INTRODUCTION The Bellum Alexandrinum, Bellum Africum and Bellum Hispaniense , which have been transmitted to us as a sort of continuation of Caesar's Bellum civile , are not only important sources for our knowledge of the historical events of the 40s bc . They also have long been recognised as precious pieces of evidence for the stylistic diversity of Latin in the first century bc . At least since the end of the nineteenth century the three pseud…

Livy's Camillus and the Political Discourse of the Late Republic
An analysis of the parallel accounts in Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Plutarch shows that the seemingly Augustan traits of Livy's Camillus already featured in late annalistic sources. Camillus' speech at Livy 5.51–4 condenses and expands late annalistic themes and fuses them with Ciceronian reminiscences. One reason for this fusion is Cicero's own self-fashioning as a new Camillus (particularly, in his post-exilic speeches). The accounts …
Chapter 8. Ovid And The ‘Poetics Of Exile’
Of the many ancient exiles and writers on exile, Ovid is the most prominent figure: not only have his exilic works influenced later Latin writers on exile from Seneca to Boethius, but his poetry and his persona have also been a central point of reference for medieval and modern imaginings of exile. This chapter takes a closer look at the themes and motifs of Ovid's exile poetry. It examines the philological facts to explore how serious Ovid's sel…
Chapter 5. Later Greek Voices On The Predicament Of Exile
Chapter 1. The Discourse Of Displacement In Greco-Roman Antiquity
Exile has been the most productive literary topics in twentieth century literature. The increased reflection on exile in the twentieth century has not only influenced research in social sciences and modern languages, but has also left its mark on the classics, where interest in the exiles of antiquity has grown continuously over the past fifty years. This scholarly interest has been largely confined to the three most prominent ancient writers who…
Writing Exile
Exile and displacement are central topics in classical literature. Previous research has been mostly biographical and has focused on the three most prominent exiles: Cicero, Ovid, and Seneca. By shifting focus to a discourse of exile and displacement in early Greek poetry, Greek historiography, Cynicism, consolatory literature, Latin epic, Greek literature of the empire, and Medieval Latin literature, the present volume questions the notion of a …
Pi. I. 1,67-68 und der Gebrauch von αλλος und ετερος
A close look at the use of γελαν, αλλος and ετερος shows that none of the interpretation of Pi. I. 1,67-68 proposed by Farnell, Norwood, Bundy, Privitera and Most can be upheld. The alternative is either to adopt an interpretation close to Thummer's which is linguistically sound but makes little sense in the context, or to alter the text. A conjecture which is palaeographically close and makes good sense is to read γέλω in place of γελα

[Mosch.] 3.88 und Pindars Geburtsort
[Mosch.] 3.88 does not refer to the Boeotian forests but to the Boeotian town Hylai as Pindar's birthplace. The tradition that Pindar was born in Kynoskephalai seems to have originated later and may go back to Plutarch
