An Ell of a Difference
This paper argues that the local adverb in Ov. Fast. 6.424 should be neither illi nor illic , both meaning ‘there’, but Ili , ‘at Ilium, at Troy’, since the place referred to is Ilium, and there is wordplay on the name of Ilium and its founder Ilus.

Three cruces in Juvenal
A. E. Housman has written that the context of Juvenal 5.140 is ‘the most obscure in Juvenal’ (p. xxxii). I am primarily concerned with the following five lines, but the entire passage (132–145), and its position in the poem, must also be examined
Is nothing gentler than wild beasts? Seneca, Phaedra 558
Hippolytus' declamation on the progress of human depravity brings him from the invention of weapons to the climactic horror of stepmothers (553–8), after which he turns to the vices of women in general and Medea in particular (559–64)
An Abysmal Pun
Interpolating an isthmus
R. J. Tarrant has remarked that ‘Latin poets from Ovid onward...felt an almost irresistible urge to mention the Isthmus of Corinth wherever possible’,2 and A. E. Housman admitted to a similar, though less urgent, inclination to introduce the city of Corinth into the passage quoted: ‘inter 295 et 296 excidisse uidetur uersus cuius clausula fuerit Corinthus’. Corinth would, of course, be very much at home in this list of depraved and wealthy (or fo…
Three Propertian puns
Many readers of Mynors' commentary must have been mildly puzzled by the last sentence of his note on 491: ‘Some sensitive modern ears catch an echo of the Homeric emathoeis , “sandy” and haima, “blood”’. In commenting on the same line, Thomas is less negative, but mentions only the blood, not the sand: ’ Haemi ... campos : given the force of pinguescere ... V. surely intends a gloss—“plains of blood” (cf. Gr. haima)‘.2 He provides no further guid…

On not Looking at a Gorgon
Improving the Alliteration
Guzzling Poison and Draining the Sea
Sophocles Trachiniae 419
Rouge and crocodile dung
In Ars Amatoria 3.267–72, part of a longer sequence which begins in 261, Ovid advises his female readers on how to conceal various physical shortcomings. Text and apparatus are quoted from Kenney's revised OCT : quae nimium gracilis, pleno uelamina filo sumat, et ex umeris laxus amictus eat; pallida purpureis tangat sua corpora uirgis, nigrior ad Pharii confuge piscis opem; pes malus in niuea semper celetur aluta, arida nee uinclis crura resolue …
