Classical studies have in modern times been bedevilled by concentration on the classical. In literature as in everything else it is, historically speaking, the transitional ...

    Starting from the canonical authors of the archaic period, Livius Andronicus, Naevius, Ennius, and pointing to a nexus of socio-political factors that spurred Roman elite to appropriate Greek culture in a delicate phase of military expansion and cultural innovation, McElduff chooses to discuss epic translations ( Odussia, Punica, Annales). We ...

    My sense is that L. has some intelligent things to say about particular word-formations; my regret is that she has nothing to say about Livius Andronicus. Notes. 1. G. Sheets, "The Dialect Gloss, Hellenistic Poetics, and Livius Andronicus," AJP 102 (1981) 58-78. 2. G. Erasmi, Studies on the Language of Livius Andronicus, Diss. Minnesota ...

    The essays of Sander Goldberg (on Livius Andronicus and Naevius) and William Dominik (on Ennius) provide an excellent introduction to early Roman epic. Goldberg's (drawn from his forthcoming book, Ruined Choirs of Roman Epic Verse ) is particularly valuable for its stylistic analysis of the Saturnian in both poets.

    In this short book, Baier provides a comprehensive overview of Roman literature from Livius Andronicus through the antiquarian work of Censorinus. Though Baier never explicitly identifies what readership he envisions for his book, he clearly writes with a non-specialist audience in mind.

    If the post-Ciceronian ancient world had trouble recognizing these writers as poets possessed of any sort of aesthetic merit, so has the modern, for the most part. It is just this deficiency that Goldberg undertakes to remedy in his brief (171 pages plus ancillary material) but dense study of Andronicus, Naevius, and Ennius, with Cicero both as ...

    Table of Contents. On first sight, it looks simple. If you wonder what remains of a third-century Roman tragedy by Livius Andronicus called Achilles, you can consult Otto Ribbeck's Tragicorum Romanorum Fragmenta, widely available in its second edition (1871, rpt. 1972), to find the play's single surviving line ('si malos imitabo, tum tu pretium pro noxa dabis') and, if still curious ...

    P. does mention at the beginning of the book the desire to link Rome with Greek myth (ix-x), but only briefly applies this idea in his discussion of Livius Andronicus and nowhere else. In general, P. does not define how it is that we can understand the position of a mythological figure within a culture, though he tacitly comes down in favor of ...

    To offer two examples from many: 'for the sake of convenience, it is easier to imagine a linear progression and to assume that some of Livius' plays were produced before Naevius', although for plays written after 235 BCE the converse is equally possible' (14) and 'A correspondence has been detected between Livius' Aegisthus and the ...
