Ovid Underwater
A recent tendency in studies of Metamorphoses draws inspiration from the climate crisis to highlight the uncanniness of the environments described in the poem. Ovidian nature confronts viewers and readers with the limits of human power and identity. This article integrates this approach to the represented world of the poem with earlier critical emphases on the work’s narratological complexity. The stark power differentials suggested by the landsc…
The Gate of Horns
Ovid’s tale of Cipus, the returning general who discovers that horns have miraculously appeared on his forehead, combines narrative elements that point back to the poem’s early books with others that suggest historiography. Cipus’ own hybridity, therefore, figures a generic combination that simultaneously invites incredulity and belief. These different interpretative strategies feature in the different responses to the prodigy within the episode.…
Caesar or Cleopatra? Lucan’s Tragic Queen
Writ in Water
This article explores the representation and thematic importance of time within Ovid’s account of Narcissus. It argues that perceiving Narcissus for the characters within Ovid’s narrative provokes a recognition of the experience of time that becomes central to both the tragic and erotic aspects of his story. In presenting Narcissus as both the subject of a diachronic narrative and a static image, Ovid at once uses the medium of his representation…

Free Spirits
Sallust’s account of Catiline’s first speech contains a verbal echo of Cicero’s First Catilinarian ( BC 20.9 ~ Cat . 1.1). By raising the question of whether Catiline or Cicero counts as the author of the phrase, Sallust invites attention to the double nature of historiography as at once a literary representation of reality and a part of the historical processes it documents. Hearing Catiline as author points up the historicity of texts: the phra…

Time and Narrative in Ancient Historiography
Historians often refer to past events which took place prior to their narrative's proper past - that is, they refer to a 'plupast'. This past embedded in the past can be evoked by characters as well as by the historian in his own voice. It can bring into play other texts, but can also draw on lieux de mémoire or on material objects. The articles assembled in this volume explore the manifold forms of the plupast in Greek and Roman historians from …
The Oxford History of Historical Writing
This book covers the development and history of the major traditions of historical writing, including the ancient Near East, Classical Greece and Rome, and East and South Asia from their origins until c.ad 600. The book aims to provide an authoritative survey of the field and to provoke cross-cultural comparisons. This is the first of five volumes in a series that explores representations of the past from the beginning of writing to the present d…
Playing Gods
This book offers a novel interpretation of politics and identity in Ovid's epic poem of transformations, the Metamorphoses . Reexamining the emphatically fictional character of the poem, Playing Gods argues that Ovid uses the problem of fiction in the text to redefine the power of poetry in Augustan Rome. The book also provides the fullest account yet of how the poem relates to the range of cultural phenomena that defined and projected Augustan a…
“Dionysiac Poetics” and the Memory of Civil War in Horace's Cleopatra Ode
This chapter shows what can be done with civil war's painful and divisive legacy in a lyric poem. In brief, lyric holds out the promise of remediation, and Horace's Cleopatra ode (1.37), particularly in its exploitation of Dionysiac elements, offers a glimpse of community restored. With this examination of the productive engagement between an innovative poetic genre and the recent Roman experience of civil war, the chapter illustrates how poetry …
The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Historians
No field of Latin literature has been more transformed over the last couple of decades than that of the Roman historians. Narratology, a new receptiveness to intertextuality, and a re-thinking of the relationship between literature and its political contexts have ensured that the works of historians such as Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus will be read as texts with the same interest and sophistication as they are used as sources. In this book, topics …
The Intellectual Climate
This chapter contains section titled: Material Culture? Catullus and the Golden Fleece Between Verona and Rome
The Translation of Catiline
Sallust ends his first brief venture in historiography, on the failed coup d'etat led by L. Sergius Catilina in 63 bce, with a graphic account of the aftermath of the battle of Pistoia, where Catiline's forces were crushed and he himself killed (Cat. 61). The historian's surprising emphasis on Catiline's personal bravery leaves the reader with many puzzles, for this Heldentod stands in sharp contrast to the much more equivocal presentation of Cat…
Making the Most of Marsyas
Two papers explore understudied aspects of the Metamorphoses' Marsyas narrative. The first links the passage's interest in imitation to the play between generic codes and ultimately to the position of its author as an Augustan poet, who, like the satyr, always risked appearing as the mere borrower of the language and images of his superiors. The second analyzes intratextual connections with other passages in the poem, where Ovid could create his …
Stepping Out of the Ring
In this book seventeen leading scholars examine the interaction between historiography and poetry in the Augustan age: how poets drew on — or reacted against — historians’ presentation of the world, and how, conversely, historians transformed poetic themes for their own ends
The Cambridge Companion to Ovid
Ovid was one of the greatest writers of classical antiquity, and arguably the single most influential ancient poet for post-classical literature and culture. In this Cambridge Companion, chapters by leading authorities from Europe and North America discuss the backgrounds and contexts for Ovid, the individual works, and his influence on later literature and art. Coverage of essential information is combined with exciting critical approaches. This…

Putting Dido on the Map:Genre and Geography in Vergil's Underworld Andrew Feldherr Aeneas' final words to Dido appropriately refer to the impossibility of communication between them: "This is the last thing fate allows me to say to you (6.466)." But the literal-minded reader, oblivious for the moment of Aeneas' impending deification, may well think of the hero's own return to the underworld after his death. Won't that provide the opportunity for …
