Plautus
Those Sneezes
Catullus XXXII
This is clearly meant to ‘speak’, and offer thereby some clue to the interpretation. But what it ‘says’ is debatable. Most modern edd. settle for Ipsit(h)illa as the least badly attested form. The prominence of bidding in the poem best accords with the assumptions that the stem is indeed ipsa connoting ‘mistress of the establishment’ (cf. 3.8; OLD ipse 12, OLD ipsimus; ipsula , Pl. Cist . 450, issulo et delicio suo CIL 6.12156; ipsuma , Petron. S…
Drama
The acting profession came to depend and to thrive on a circuit of musical and dramatic festivals among which Athens was only one of several centres. This chapter looks at the importance of the theatrical traditions of South Italy and Sicily. Andronicus is a major figure in the history of literature as the first to tackle the problems of literary translation. His approach was crucial for the subsequent development of Latin literature. All kinds o…
Light and Heavy Syllables as Dramatic Colouring in Plautus and Others
Our purpose is protreptic, to broach a subject neglected by researchers and consequently by commentators on Plautus and Terence. 1 We mean the relation of rhythm and dramatic meaning in the ordinary stichic iambo-trochaic metres. It is of course a longstanding convention that a commentator writing in usum scholarum will include some account of the basic rules of scansion and prosody and a conspectus metrorum of sorts. Ambitious efforts may be mad…
Curculio's Last Bow
Quam lepide lexeis compostae
Most editors and commentators have acquiesced without enthusiasm in the reading in Creta religasset at 174, though Mynors in his Oxford text (1958) reverted to what had been the old vulgate in Cretam religasset (e.g. in Silvius' Delphin edition (Paris, 1685); Vulpius' (Padua 1737). If we read in Cretam , the sense must be ‘(Would that Theseus) had not untied his rope
Sundials, Parasites, and Girls from Boeotia
My purpose in this paper is, firstly, to investigate the relationship of the three passages printed below, and, secondly, to illustrate in passing the curious chain of historical accidents which have prevented the truth about that relationship from becoming common lore long ago
Titvs Maccivs Plavtvs’
The ways of naming the comedian which happen to survive to us are Plautus, Macci Titi, Maccus, (M)accius , and T. Macci Plauti; the best attested oi these names, Plautus , is twice adorned with curiously arch flourishes. The evidence as a whole presents two main problems: how do we interpret and reconcile Macci Titi, Maccus , and Maccius : and how do these names relate to the name Plautus ? The purpose of this paper is to emphasize more strongly …
Habeo and Aveo
‘The sudden emergence of all the post-classical functions of habeo +Infinitive in Tertullian is very remarkable’, as Mr. Coleman has said in his important paper (p. 226) on the origin and development of this structure, so prominent in the formation of the Future and Conditional paradigms of the main Romance languages. The functions which he has in mind are all Prospective: he distinguishes meanings tangential, as he puts it, to Possibility, Oblig…
