Lucan
Lucan is a model for orators, not poets. Martial shows that prose and verse had become polarized that sense was now distinct from sensibility, when Quintilian records that Lucan, for many, had forfeited the name of poet: there were rules, and the rules were there to be followed. In the Bellum civile, Lucan began with tired neoteric essays, stylistically akin to those of the princeps, quite mainstream, and accomplished. Rhetoric may demand an incr…
Martial and Juvenal
The beginning of Juvenal's literary career coincided with Martial's later years: the composition of the first satire, which contains a reference to the trial of Marius Priscus in AD 100 was probably contemporaneous with the epigrammatist's retirement to Spain. Juvenal, is less obedient to the rules of his genre and sometimes even anarchic, his language a medley of high and low, his tone contemptuous, and, in any normal sense of the words, unconst…

Persius and the Programmatic Satire: A Study in Form and Imagery
A critical study of Persius' poetic aims, aversions and techniques, based mainly on an extended analysis of Satires I. John Bramble shows how Persius' discontent with conventional literary language led him to compress the existing satiric idiom and create a powerful individual style. The author situates Persius' work in the tradition of Roman satire, and shows how he takes the concepts and metaphors of literary criticism back to their physical or…
Structure and Ambiguity in Catullus LXIV
The structure of Catullus' sixty-fourth poem tends to be discussed in terms of two antitheses. The happy Peleus–Thetis theme is contrasted with the tragic Theseus–Ariadne inset, and, through the pessimism of 397–408, the decadent present is contrasted with the glorious past. With regard to the latter opposition, an objection immediately presents itself: the glorious past contained the faithlessness, desertion, and misery inherent in the story of …
