Roman Presocratics
Given the fact that our reconstruction of the Presocratic doctrines and the access to their original meaning are intrinsically tied to Latin philosophical or philosophizing authors, this chapter focuses on three contemporaneous writers (Philodemus of Gadara, Lucretius, Cicero), in whose works can be identified some sort of a list of Presocratic philosophers. As far as the channels through which the Presocratics were first transferred to Rome are …
The Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy
Several decades of scholarship by now have demonstrated that Roman thinkers have developed in new and stimulating directions the systems of thought they inherited from the Greeks, and that, taken together, they offer a range of perspectives that are of philosophical interest in their own right. This collection of essays pursues a maximally inclusive approach, covering not only authors such as Augustine but also poets or historians. It pays attent…
Seneca’s Etna
In his Letter 79 (probably written in c. AD 64) Seneca asks his addressee, Lucilius, who was then serving as procurator of Sicily, to send him a report on his travels around the island, including information specifically on Charybdis and Lucilius’ climb up Mount Etna.

As in Chapter 1, so here, intertextuality exposes differences in world view, with regard to religion, cosmogony, creation, and sac…

Le temple de Jupiter Feretrius chez Properce et les spolia opima (4.10) : un poème à ne pas lire ? Le thème de cette étude est l'élégie 4, 10 de Properce, où le poète fournit l'étiologie du nom du temple de Jupiter Feretrius et des spolia opima. En se fondant sur une double équation, celle qui associe Properce et Callimaque - explicitement énoncée - et celle de Romulus et Auguste - seulement suggérée - la relation étroite de ce poème avec les aut…
