Landscapes of War in Greek and Roman Literature
In this volume, literary scholars and ancient historians from across the globe investigate the creation, manipulation and representation of ancient war landscapes in literature. Landscape can spark armed conflict, dictate its progress and influence the affective experience of its participants. At the same time, warfare transforms landscapes, both physically and in the way in which they are later perceived and experienced. Landscapes of War in Gre…
Iliad 24 and the Judgement of Paris
Despite the importance of the Judgement of Paris in the story of the Trojan War, the Iliad has only one explicit reference to it. This occurs, rather out of the blue, in the final book of the poem in a dispute among the gods about the treatment of Hector's body (24.25–30). Achilles keeps dragging the body around behind his chariot, but Apollo protects it with his golden aegis (24.18–21). Apollo then speaks among the gods and attacks the conduct o…
Scamander and the Rivers of Hades in Homer
Scamander and the Rivers of Hades in Homer C. J. Mackie At odyssey 10.488–95, in response to Odysseus' request that he and his men leave her island, Circe states that they must venture to Hades to consult with the Theban seer Teiresias. She gives Odysseus some basic instructions on how to get there and what to do there (10.504–40): he should cross Ocean and beach his ship where there is a remote coastline and a grove of Persephone. He should then…
Achilles in fire
The Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius deals with a band of heroes one generation before the great warriors at Troy, and the narrative does not really concern itself directly with the later generation. Some of the familiar heroes of Homer may never seem very far from Apollonius' narrative, but they tend not to appear in the poem themselves. One who does is Achilles, twice in fact: once in the first book and once in the last. Both of these passages…
Homer and Thucydides
This article is concerned with reminiscences of Homer in Thucydides' History . The principal aim is to raise questions as to what extent Thucydides' account of the Sicilian venture is a conscious response to some Homeric journey narratives. Such questions are worth asking because Thucydides refers to the (mythical/Odyssean) Cyclopes and Laestrygonians at the beginning of his story (6.2). It will be argued that this reference is intended not solel…
Vergil's Dirae, South Italy, and Etruria
THE IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE of the reconciliation between Jupiter and Juno at the end of Vergil's Aeneid is Jupiter's sending of a female demon to help conclude the conflict between Aeneas and Turnus. Her task is to meet Juturna as a sign of Jupiter's will (12.854). As a means of doing this the demon changes into a small bird, then flies into Turnus' face and shield (12.861-866). The consequent weakening of Turnus in his combat with Aeneas has two …
Turnus and his Ancestors
In Book 6.88–94 of the Aeneid reference is made by the Cumaean Sibyl to the fact that there will be terrible wars on the Trojans' arrival at Lavinium. The details given by the Sibyl evoke the war at Troy; there will be a Simois, a Xanthus, and a Greek camp. Moreover, there will be another Achilles in Latium and the war will again be fought over a woman. Aeneas, when he hears this, has just arrived in Italy after the war at Troy and a gruelling se…
