Written into the landscape : Latin epic and the landmarks of literary reception
No full textLandscape in Roman literature is manifest with symbolic potential: in particular, Vergil and Ovid respond to ideologically loaded representations of abundance in nature that signal the dawn of the Augustan golden age. Vergil's Eclogues foreground a locus amoenus landscape which articulates both the hopes of the new age as well as the political upheaval that accompanied the new political regime; Ovid uses the same topography in order to suggest the arbitrary and capricious use of power within a deceptively idyllic landscape. Moreover, for Latin poets, depictions of landscape are themselves sites for poetic reflection as evidenced by the discussion of landscape ecphrases in Horace's Ars Poetica.
My thesis focuses upon the depiction and refiguration of the locus amoenus landscape in the post-Augustan epics of the first century AD: Lucan's Bellum Civile, Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica, Statius' Thebaid and Silius Italicus' Punica. Landscape in these poems retains the moral, political and metapoetic force evident in the Augustan archetypes. However, I suggest that Lucan's Neronian Bellum Civile fundamentally refigures the landscapes of Latin epic poetry, inscribing the locus amoenus with the nefas of civil war in such a manner that it redefines the perception of landscape in the succeeding Flavian poets. Lucan perverts the landscape, making the locus horridus, a landscape of horror, fear and disgust, the predominant landscape of Latin epic; consequently, the poems of Valerius, Statius and Silius engage with Lucan's refiguration of landscape as a means of expressing the horror of civil war. In the first part of my thesis I examine archetypal landscapes, including those of the Augustan poets and Lucan's Bellum Civile. Taking an approach which engages with literary reception theory and the concept of the â horizon of expectationâ as a framework within which literary topographies can be understood as articulating a response to the thematics of civil war, in the second part of my thesis I demonstrate the manner in which landscapes represent a coherent and paradigmatic response to Lucan's imposition of his civil war narrative within the literary landscape of Roman literature
Valerius Maximus and Exemplum
No full textValerius Maximus' exempla collection, Facta et dicta memorabilia, has for a long time stayed out of focus of modern literary science. Viewed rather as a practical handbook for orators, it had earned criticism for its allegedly low literary value, especially in the first half of the 20th century. Although this view was later revised at least to some extent, and Valerius was admitted to have literary ambitions in so far that his work was characterized as an original literary achievement of an author who in his collection presented a summary of moral values and standards of his time, the interest in his work has stayed rather fragmented, with researchers preferring to analyze only its specific aspects (such as ethics, religion, historical reflection, etc.). This thesis aims for a comprehensive view of Valerius' collection as a whole against the analysis of theoretical interpretation of exemplum as preserved within the Roman theoretical rhetorical writings. The interpretation is performed by the analysis of the whole, examining the way the entire collection is arranged, through the description of the structure and division of individual chapters, down to the level of the core structural unit, the exemplum. It emphasizes information related to the work's focus or to the inclusion of specific topics that Valerius..

Verecundia in Livy and Valerius Maximus
No full textThis thesis considers the ways in which Livy and Valerius Maximus integrate the Roman emotion verecundia into their exemplary pasts. It asks what nuance verecundia adds to the moral and historical narratives in which it is embedded. By so doing, this thesis achieves three interwoven objectives. It deepens our understanding of how verecundia was conceptualised during the Principate; provides new interpretations of the ways in which literature explored and engaged the (exemplary) past to explore moral issues; and, consequently, reveals something of the concerns of each author within their socio-political milieu. Both Livy and Valerius Maximus extend and adapt Cicero's philosophical conceptualisation of verecundia as a moral quality that regulates appropriate behaviour. Livy's use of verecundia reflects an anxiety about ethical governance and its effect on Rome's imperial reputation, which challenges traditional understandings of Livy as a patriotic author whose history legitimises Roman hegemony. Complementary analysis of Valerius Maximus' collection of moral-didactic anecdotes (exempla) reveals the complex workings of verecundia as a social mechanism which produces 'correct' behaviour. Valerius' assertion that domestic officium et verecundia are the foundation of territorial acquisitions extends Livy's thinking as it recognises a symbiotic relationship between the behaviour of the Roman elite and their imperial endeavours. Comparison of Livy and Valerius' treatment of verecundia in episodes about women exposes how gendered assumptions about proper female conduct have distorted modern scholarship's translation and interpretation of the original Latin texts. This thesis demonstrates that verecundia was understood as a vital social, political, and cultural quality that was integral to recognisably honourable action in all spheres of life, both at home and abroad.</p
Gradivus földművesei (Valerius Flaccus 5, 142: ruricolae, Gradive, tui)
No full textValerius Flaccus Argonauticája 5, 142 ruricolae, Gradive, tui kifejezésének értelmezése vitatott: az apollóniosi eredeti mögött valószínűleg egy a görög költő által még ismert, a vasérc mosására vonatkozó forrás állt. Apollónios Rhodios Chalybsökről adott, általa még szó szerint értett információit Valerius Flaccus fordítása a vaskorhoz kapcsolódó római képzetek jegyében romanizálva, metaforikus értelemben adja vissza.
|
The interpretation of the expression ’ruricolae, Gradive, tui’ from the Argonautica 5, 142 of Valerius Flaccus is controversial: behind the original of Apollonios most probably there was a fountain referring to the cleaning of iron ore, which was known by the Greek author. The information given by Apollonios Rhodios about Chalybes, which were taken by him literally, were interpreted by Valerius Flaccus in a romanized, metaphoric sense, of Roman ideas regarding the iron age
Die Erzählungen des Valerius Maximus /
No full text"Die in der Zeit des Tiberius entstandenen Facta et dicta memorabilia des Valerius Maximus zählten in der Renaissance zu den meistgelesenen und -geschätzten Werken der antiken Literatur. Von Gelehrten des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts meist verachtet, in den letzten Jahrzehnten vor allem als ideologiegeschichtliche Quelle ausgewertet, erweisen sie sich in der hier vorgelegten erzähltechnischen und strukturellen Untersuchung als weit mehr als eine schlichte Anekdotensammlung. Jenseits der Einzelanekdoten - die hier mit mikrostruktureller Tiefe narratologisch analysiert werden - wird durch den typologischen Charakter der Kapitel und die kunstvolle, mit Ovids Metamorphosen vergleichbare Kohäsionstechnik eine zweite Schicht von Erzählungen lesbar, die in ihrer Geschlossenheit an die Form klassischer episodischer Erzähltexte erinnern."--Page 4 of cover.Slightly revised thesis (doctoral)--Freie Universität Berlin, 2021.Includes bibliographical references and sources (pages 467-502)."Die in der Zeit des Tiberius entstandenen Facta et dicta memorabilia des Valerius Maximus zählten in der Renaissance zu den meistgelesenen und -geschätzten Werken der antiken Literatur.
