Book Vi Of Ennius′ Annals
The contents of the sixth book of Ennius' Annals have recently become a matter of dispute. Ever since Columna's edition (1585) it had been assumed that the book was entirely given over to the story of the war against king Pyrrhus (followed perhaps by mention of some events of the next few years; so my commentary, Oxford, 1985, p. 329). That view was based on the anecdote told by Quintilian 6.3.6, that Cicero, asked to say something de Sexto Annal…

Roberto Weiss
In the early morning of 9 August Roberto Weiss suffered a heart attack, and on the following day he died. To those of us who had seen him that week, to whom he had spoken in that friendly, relaxed and humorous fashion which one knew and loved so well, the news came as an unbelievable shock; and it was not until we buried him, family, friends, colleagues and students, on a lovely summer day, in the charming valley that runs up from Henley towards …

Enniana VI
When a poet's work survives only in fragments our judgement of its merit is bound to be strongly influenced by the arrangement given to the fragments by their editors. And yet some superficial indication of the subject-matter is not infrequently seized upon as though it were a sound basis for so responsible an operation, and horror uacui proving stronger than amor ueri , stronger even than desiderium noua docendi , the ill-founded solution is pas…

Enniana V
In 189 B.C. Ennius accompanied Fulvius Nobilior on the Aetolian campaign, which ended in the siege and surrender of Ambracia. He went as a court poet, to the indignation of Cato, and celebrated his patron's achievement in what seems to have been a fabula praetexta , the Ambraci

Enniana IV
Cicero, de div . i. 107, has preserved the longest fragment of the Annals : a piece of twenty lines, describing how Romulus and Remus took the auspices to decide which of them should found, give his name to, and rule over the city. Mommsen, Ges. Schr . iv. 1 ff., declared that such auspice-taking was incompatible with Roman augural practice and indeed with the whole nature of augury: the birds could approve or disapprove but not select; selection…

MR. MARTIN seems to have misread my table. He professes to summarize its last two rows, but he has got the last but one all wrong, and the last he omits altogether. My last row but one signifies: In the matter of a following disyllabic thesis Phaedria, Pamphilĕ , and Parmenō behave exactly alike: no argument here either for or against Phaedriā . The last row speaks plainly: If Phaedria were a cretic, we should expect to find it used as a cretic a…
The Fall of the Capitol
Three times Silius Italicus refers to the Gallic catastrophe in a somewhat startling manner : Pun.

Enniana, I
Ennius began his Annals with a prayer to the Muses: (I.V.) Musae quae pedibus magnum pulsatis Olympum. In this he differs from his predecessors. Livius in his Odusia had substituted Camena for Homer's Μοῦσα, and the ‘novem Iovis concordes sorores’ to whom Naevius addresses himself in the Carmen Belli Punici also bore the name of Camenae , as we may infer with some confidence from Naevius' epitaph: ‘Immortales mortales si foret fas flere Flerent d…
Mactare—Macvla
The very ingenious and closely reasoned article of Mr. L. R. Palmer ( C.Q. XXXII, p. 57) seems to us to deserve examination, the more so as we totally disagree with his views, both from the point of view of etymology and that of Religionsforschung . To put his conclusions briefly, he supposes mactus to be derived from a hypothetical verb macio , signifying ‘bespatter, sprinkle’; mactus then would properly mean ‘sprinkled’(with wine, blood, milk o…
Once More ‘Macte’
In vol. xxxii of this Journal, pp. 220 ff., we published a rejoinder to Dr. L. R. Palmer's ingenious article (ibid., pp. 57 ff.) in which he derived macte, mactare , and macula from a hypothetical verb * macio ‘to sprinkle’. We objected to this construction, holding that the traditional derivation of macte from the root of magnus was more satisfactory, and discussing in some detail the evidence brought forward by Dr. Palmer in support of his theo…

Elision of Atque in Roman Poetry
Every reader of Roman poetry must be struck by the fact that atque is so much more frequently elided than left unelided; and that the rarity of unelided atque is not—a matter of chance may be seen from a comparison between the poets' treatment of this word and that of others of a similar metrical structure: i.e. disyllables beginning with an open long vowel and terminating with an open short one. Such words ending in - que or - ě (utque, inque, i…
