Nimio Veneris odio: Catullo 'tragico' in Seneca 'lirico'
No full textIn the opening monody of Seneca’s Phaedra some features remind us of Catullus’ Attis poem. This allusion, that is probably mediated by the episode of Numanus Remulus in Aeneid book 9, and can be explained through the common mythical pattern of the “chasseur noir”, serves to depict the furor of Hippolytus, who transforms Attis’ odium Veneris into a more general hatred towards an ethically corrupt humanity. In his irrational impulse to flee from community, one can detect the traits of fuga sui, a vitium which is condemned by Seneca in his De tranquillitate animi. Like other Senecan monodies, Hippolytus’ anapaestic song therefore fulfills the task of representing the delirium of a character

Grai vertere vocantes: Virgilio traduttore etnocentrico?
No full textIn Verg. georg. iii 147 ff., the expression Grai uertere uocantes, that introduces a name for the
gadfly alternative to asilus, is not an example of “domesticating translation” (« ethnocentric », according
to the definition of A. Berman), but claims the victory of the Roman authors over their proverbial linguistic
and literary egestas. The sophisticated word asilus may have already been used, together with
oestrus, by Calvus in his Io as well as by Varro Atacinus in his Argonautae. In his versions from
Greek models which he imitates or alludes to, Virgil shows in fact a mature balance between domestication
and foreignization
Ut fama est. La voce del poeta tra diceria e asseverazione. Sondaggi nella letteratura latina antica e tardo-antica
No full textIn Latin literature (as well as in its Greek models), the poet’s speech is represented ambivalently: as the result of both invention and tradition, what the poet says is both a lie and an authoritative word. Plautus had already highlighted this ambiguity of the poetic speech, but this duplicity becomes evident when Latin poets, through the so-called Alexandrian footnote, claim to repeat the song of other poets. Catullus, in his carmina docta, employs the Alexandrian footnote as a display of doctrine (c. 68), or to signal his personal innovations (c. 64), or for parodic purposes (c. 67). In Lucretius’ poetry the relationship between the poet’s voice and truth becomes a key issue of his didactic poem and the reference to the fama in some cases aims to stigmatize the lies of myth, in others to asseverate historical and scientific content. As for Virgil, he proves to be influenced as much by Catullus as by Lucretius. Christian poets (Paulinus and Licentius are considered here) renew the function of this stylistic device, either by transforming (i.e. Christianizing) the very nature of the fama they refer to, or by interpretating the myth through allegory. In Augustine, Virgil’s speech helps to asseverate the refutation of his opponent Faustu
Distopia, utopia, paradosso: lettura (e letture) di Verg. georg. III 339-383
Full text linkLa digressione di Verg. georg. III 339-383 descrive la vita dei pastori di Libia e Scizia, inserendo tratti positivi o addirittura utopici in un contesto fondamentalmente distopico. Questa ambiguità potrebbe spiegarsi, oltre che con motivazioni di ordine storico-politico, con la ricerca del paradosso, che in Virgilio è funzionale a quel thaumasion che caratterizza in più di una occasione la sua poetica didascalica. Essa motiva sia le diverse conclusioni della critica moderna nell’interpretazione del passo, sia l’opposta ricezione della digressione virgiliana in Orazio, che in carm. III 24 trasforma la distopia in una utopia etica, e in Ovidio, che in trist. III 10 e Pont. IV 7 conserva solo gli elementi negativi del passo, per rappresentare la sua personale distopia di poeta esiliato da Roma, alla periferia dell’Impero.The digression of Verg. georg. III 339-383 depicts the life of Libyan and Scythian shepherds, inserting positive or even utopian features in a mainly dystopian context: such ambiguity could be explained as aiming at those paradox and thaumasion that are distinctive of Virgilian didactic poetry, but also by historical-political reasons. The slight lack of consistency of this passage motivates both the different interpretations by modern critics, and the opposite reception by Horace, who in carm. III 24 transforms Virgil’s dystopian Scythians into a utopian ethical model, and Ovid, who in trist. III 10 and Pont. IV 7 retains only the negative elements in order to represent his personal dystopia: being a poet banished far from Rome, to the savage borders of the Empire
