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

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

Towards an intertextual commentary on Valerius Flaccus: Argonautica 1.481-850
No full textThe thesis examines the departure of the Argonauts from Pagasae in the first book of Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica (481-850), focusing on structural and verbal parallels with the works of Apollonius and Virgil. It includes a detailed structural and scenic analysis focused on the three main scenes that make up the departure (the divine council, the tempest, and the nekyia), along with a line-by-line commentary that highlights the intertextual relationships between Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica and its models. To support further scholarly exploration, I have included an appendix containing an index of loci paralleli, in which I have highlighted those that I believe were used by Valerius Flaccus. The findings of my research contribute to a broader understanding of the work, showing how Valerius Flaccus crafted the narrative of the departure from Pagasae to establish the Argonautic voyage as the starting point of the translatio imperii from East to West, culminating in Rome’s supremacy.La thèse examine le départ des Argonautes de Pagasae dans le premier livre de les Argonautiques de Valerius Flaccus (481-850), en se concentrant sur les parallèles structurels et verbaux avec les œuvres d'Apollonios et de Virgile. Elle comprend une analyse détaillée de la structure et des scènes, centrée sur les trois principales scènes qui composent le départ (le conseil divin, la tempête et la nekyia), ainsi qu’un commentaire ligne par ligne mettant en lumière les relations intertextuelles entre les Argonautiques de Valerius Flaccus et ses modèles. Pour favoriser une exploration académique plus approfondie, j'ai inclus une annexe contenant un index des loci paralleli identifiés par des chercheurs antérieurs, dans lequel j'ai mis en évidence ceux que je crois avoir été utilisés par Valerius Flaccus. Les résultats de ma recherche contribuent à une meilleure compréhension de l'œuvre, montrant comment Valerius Flaccus a élaboré le récit du départ de Pagasae pour établir le voyage argonautique comme point de départ de la translatio imperii d'Est en Ouest, aboutissant à la suprématie de Rome.</p
