  • Intertextuality in Pliny's Epistles

    Open AccessR Chris Whitton, Roy Gibson et al.EDITORBOOKIntertextuality in Pliny's Epistles2023

    Pliny's Epistles are full of literary artistry. This volume of essays by an impressive international team of scholars showcases this by exploring the intertextual, interdiscursive and also intermedial character of the collection. It provides a contribution to the recent scholarly interest in Latin prose intertextuality and in the literary and cultural interactions of the Imperial period. Focusing on the whole collection as well as on single books…

    BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 175 ship, for example, the author’s overstressing of fertility as an interpretative paradigm of women’s religion.5 As Meghan DiLuzio has noted, Boëls-Janssen overemphasises the role of the priestess Flaminica Dialis as a “fertility talisman.”6 Interpreting fertility as a function of many women’s rituals and of many gods and goddesses is indeed too generalising. Therefore, Panoussi should have been more cautious in basi…

  • The Peroration of Cicero’s Pro Milone

    Spyridon TzounakasARTICLEThe Classical World2009Cited by: 2References: 8

    By employing the figure of prosopopoeia / sermocinatio in the peroration of his Pro Milone , Cicero aims not only at reinforcing Milo’s favorable portrayal and the lines of defense, but also at protecting his own image following the legal defeat and at indirectly embarking on self-praise. The implied prediction of Cicero’s literary fame and glory, the information about his person, the atmosphere of death that brings to mind epitaphs, and the poet…

  • The Reference to Archaic Roman Tragedy in Persius’ First Satire

    Spyridon TzounakasARTICLEL antiquité classique2008

    The parody of Accius and Pacuvius in Persius’ first satire (1, 76-78) is spoken by the satirist’s interlocutor, who attacks the roughness of the archaic diction in favour of the smoothness that dominates the neoteric poetry of Persius’ day. However, the poet does not defend archaic tragedy. Besides, frequent targets of Persius’ literary criticism, such as the high style, the search for divine and artificial inspiration, the motif of the deplorabl…

  • Rusticitas Versus Urbanitas in the Literary Programmes of Tibullus and Persius

    Spyridon TzounakasARTICLEMnemosyne2006Cited by: 18

    Tibullus and Persius are characteristic examples of poets who in their programmatic poems take a stance as to the literary juxtaposition of rusticitas and urbanitas and side with the first. Thus, they express their opposition to the mores of urban society and support the rustic way of life, which points to moral probity, simplicity, frugality, an unaffected style, Roman thematology, an indifference towards praise and heroic action. Persius' views…
