Paralysin Cave: Impotence, Perception, and Text in the "Satyrica" of Petronius
This volume explores the literary representation of male sexual dysfunction and discusses the natural and supernatural elements of an ancient folk medical system based on conceptual associations between male sexuality and specific plants, animals and minerals. The work incorporates material from both literary and scientific sources to draw parallels between ancient and modern paradigms of healing. The literary depiction of attempts to remedy impo…
The Poetics of Supplication: Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey
In this penetrating and compelling reinterpretation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Kevin Crotty explores the connection between the poetic nature of supplication on the one hand, and, on the other, the importance of supplication in the structure and poetics of the two epics. The suppliant's attempt to rouse pity by calling to mind a vivid sense of grief, he says, is important for an understanding of the poems, which invite their audience to contem…

Theatrum Arbitri: Theatrical Elements in the "Satyrica" of Petronius
The title of this thesis is 'Theatrical elements in the Satyrica of Petronius". It is a literary study which deals with the possible influence that Roman comic drama (comedies of Plautus and Terence, theatre of the Greek and Roman mimes, (the fabula palliata, fabula togata, fabula Atellana) might have exerted on the surviving extant fragments of Petronius' novel. In the preface I summarise briefly the generally accepted view about the identity of…

Heroes' Names, Homeric Identities
An account of the practice of naming the Homeric poems. Demonstrates how the mode of identification signals one's place in the social fabric, with or without the addition of personal history, and discusses word-play involving names and the possible evolutionary relationship between epithets and the

Regarding Penelope: From Character to Poetics
A coy tease, enchantress, adulteress, irresponsible mother, hard-hearted wife - such are the images of Penelope that Homer playfully presents to listeners and readers of the Odyssey, and that his narration ultimately contradicts or fails to confirm. In Regarding Penelope, Nancy Felson-Rubin explores the relationship between Homer's construction of Penelope and his more general approach to poetic production and reception. Felson-Rubin begins by co…

Death and the Optimistic Prophecy in Vergil's Aeneid
Here James O'Hara shows how the deceptive nature of prophecy in the Aeneid complicates assessment of the poem's attitude toward its hero's achievement and toward the future of Rome under Augustus Caesar. This close study of the language and rhetorical context of the prophecies reveals that they regularly suppress discouraging material: the gods send promising messages to Aeneas and others to spur them on in their struggles, but these struggles of…
