Tragic Contaminatio and Polluted Sacrifice in Seneca's Oedipus
It has long been noticed that in his Oedipus , Seneca diverges conspicuously from his primary model, Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus ( OT ), in a number of aspects. Prominent among these is an expansive, two-part ritual sequence at the play's center, comprising a prodigy-filled yet spectacularly unsuccessful sacrifice and extispicium followed by a more successful, if no less terrifying, necromancy to raise the slain Laius.

Catullan Intertextuality
This chapter contains section titled: The Opening of Catullus 64: An Apollonian Proem Catullus' Epyllion Begins: The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis Conclusions (and Catullus' Epilogue)
Roman Propertius and the Reinvention of Elegy
and the Reinvention of Elegy presents an arresting new interpretation of the intricate and complex poetry of Propertius' final collection. Jeri Blair DeBrohun illuminates the manner in which the poet reinvents and revitalizes his elegy in Book 4 by broadening its lyrical promise and ideological horizons.DeBrohun finds the most striking element of Book 4 to be the apparent polarity of the poems, whose themes are split between new, aetiological sub…

Ovid uses allusions to two didactic poems, Lucretius' De Rerum Natura and Ovid's own Ars Amatoria III, as he explores in the Cyllarus-Hylonome interlude both hybridity itself and the relations…
Roman Propertius and the Reinvention of Elegy

Redressing Elegy's Puella
Much recent criticism of Roman love elegy, especially Propertian love elegy, has been concerned with the exposure of elegy's ego and puella as poetic constructions whose ‘partially realistic’ characteristics and actions serve as metaphorical representations of the poet's writing practice and poetic ideals. As Duncan Kennedy has pointed out, however, this discourse of representation has already threatened to create its own limitations of applicabi…
