- Φήμη in Herodian’s Roman History.Chrysanthos S. Chrysanthou - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (2):191-213.This article offers a usage study of the word φήμη throughout Herodian’s Roman History. It sets Herodian’s practice in a broader literary picture that includes other historians, but also epic and the novel, and then suggests that the extremely high frequency of φήμη in Herodian is unique among Greek-language historians and that Herodian is indebted to Latin-language historiography for this technique. The following sections examine how Herodian perceives the phenomenon of φήμη and makes it a salient feature of his historiographical (...)No categories
- Honey and the Indecency of Epicurus’ aurea dicta_( _DRN 3.12).Michael Pope - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (2):214-235.In this article theaurea dictaof Epicurus (DRN3.12) are placed in conversation with larger discourses related to apian, floral, and honey imagery. Within these literary contexts, bees and honey are often associated with morally suspect appetites, effeminacy, and potentially dangerous erotic entanglements. Lucretius, I argue, seems to allude to these risky literary valences and manipulates them for his own poetic and rhetorical ends. Honey, we discover, is much more than a sugary substance.
- Reuocat tua forma parentem– Hasdrubals Fest, Scipios Besuch bei Syphax und ihre epischen Bezüge.Christoph Schwameis - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (2):247-268.This paper considers two scenes in Books 15 and 16 of the Punica of Silius Italicus: Hasdrubal’s celebration of the founding of Carthage with the ecphrasis of the general’s cloak (Sil. 15,410–440) and Scipio’s visit to the court of King Syphax (16,170–276). For both passages there are important reference texts in scenes of Vergil’s Aeneid and Statius’ Thebaid that have until now received no, or not enough, attention: Aeneas’ visit to the future Rome (Aen. 8,102–553) and the sacrifice of Eteocles (...)No categories

- ... sicut mitissima satyris_. Una nota testuale a Plin. _Nat. 8.216.Marco Vespa - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (2):236-246.In book 8 of his Naturalis historia, Pliny the Elder mentions the particularly savage character of some monkeys. Most editions and translations of Pliny’s text maintain that the reference to the fierce nature of these animals concerns both the cynocephali and the satyri. However, in the manuscript Riccardianus 488 (R in the transmission of Pliny), a second hand, contemporary to the period in which the text was copied, added supra lineam the obscure term *miarsima, which would refer to the nature (...)No categories
- Cornutiana.Giovanni Zago - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (2):173-190.This article provides conjectural emendations and exegetical notes to several passages in Cornutus’ Theologiae Graecae compendium; it also offers an emendation of a controversial fragment of Cleanthes on physics (SVF 1,497).No categories
- Exitium Troiae funestaque flamma._ Il personaggio di Paride nell’ _Ilias Latina.Giuseppe Aricò - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):83-100.The character of Paris in the Ilias Latina maintains the ambiguity that characterises him in the Greek Iliad, where he does not lack military attitudes, but chafes against his duties to his country, being committed instead to satisfying his taste for luxury. This ambiguity is even reinforced in the epitome. The ‘heroic’ aspect of Paris’ personality emerges in a clearer light, expressed in a more mature awareness of his obligations to his family and country, but the other aspect, his indolence, (...)No categories
- Parua magnis_: Die Villenbeschreibungen des jüngeren Plinius im intertextuellen Größenvergleich ( _epistulae 2,17 und 5,6). [REVIEW]Beate Beer - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):124-143.Despite the frequent use of the antithesis of parua and magna in Latin literature, the expression parua magnis in Pliny 5,6,43–44 need not be read as proverbial but as a quotation of Vergil, georg. 4,176. This attribution follows from the naming of Vergil and of Aratus in epist. 5,6,43–44. Combined allusions as in 5,6,43–44, consisting of a quotation, the naming of the author and/or narrative structures, are a pattern in the corpus of the younger Pliny’s correspondence. The context of georg. (...)No categories
- Verifica di un pregiudizio scettico.Gian Biagio Conte - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):46-64.The author returns to a much debated topic, the so-called “Episode of Helen”, which has come to us only through indirect transmission, and endeavors to dismantle the prejudice against Virgilian authorship. G. P. Goold’s pugnacious intervention, dating back to more than half a century ago, contributed decisively – in fact, more than it should have – to the thesis that the text is spurious. A critical analysis of the text will demonstrate this claim to be groundless while offering arguments that (...)No categories
- Was the Commentary on Vergil by Aelius Donatus Extant in the Ninth Century? A Reappraisal.Vittorio Remo Danovi - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):156-171.That the Vergilian commentary by Aelius Donatus – one of the most influential late-antique commentaries that have not survived – was extant in the ninth century and available to some Carolingian scholars is still a widespread belief. The evidence in support of this thesis is said to have been provided by the Harvard Servianist J. J. H. Savage in three articles published between 1925 and 1931. In these articles, Savage claimed that a few marginal notes in one of the ninth-century (...)No categories
- The Social Networking Function of Cicero’s Prefaces to the Philosophical Works.Christopher Dowson - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):22-45.The value of the prohoemia or ‘prefaces’ to Cicero’s later philosophical works, composed in the last years of his life, has not yet been settled. Two schools of thought have emerged somewhat more clearly in recent times: one places a greater value on the prefaces as tools for understanding Cicero’s philosophica as a whole, the other applies a more skeptical approach, using a degree of caution as to the nexus between the prefaces and the treatises to which they were affixed.

- New Evidence on Nicanor’s Theory of Punctuation.René Nünlist - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):8-21.A concise summary of Nicanor’s theory of punctuation that has recently been discovered in a codex mixtus of the 15th century throws precious new light on a topic of some complexity. The general picture that emerges from the new extract does not substantially differ from that of the other known summary, which has been the starting point for all modern reconstructions of Nicanor’s theory. Therefore, these reconstructions need not be rewritten on a larger scale. The two summaries nevertheless display some (...)No categories
- “L’importante è finire”. Ancora a proposito del riuso di Verg. Aen._ 4.415 in Auson. _Epigr. 75.8 Green.Vincenzo Ortoleva - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):144-155.In the complete quotation of Verg. Aen. 4.415 in Auson. Epigr. 75.8 Green, the participle moritura, originally referring to Dido, takes on the obscene double entendre of “about to orgasm”, matching analogous attestations of this distinctive sense of the verb morior.No categories
- Mythenchronologische Inkonsistenzen in den Argonautica_? Beobachtungen zum _prima navis-Motiv bei Valerius Flaccus.Bernhard Söllradl - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):101-123.In Roman literature, the Argo commonly ranks as the first ship. The Flavian poet Valerius Flaccus seems to place himself in this line of tradition too by constantly stressing the Argo’s pioneer status. Yet it has rightly been noted that nowhere in the Argonautica is the Argo explicitly said to be the first ever ship. Her exceptional role is based rather on her status as the first sea-going ship to sail across the open sea from Europe to Asia, opening the (...)No categories
- Hipponax am „neronischen Musenhof“. Zu Persius’ Satiren-Prolog.Lothar Spahlinger - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):65-82.The choliambic metre of the prologue poem of Persius’ Satires is key to understanding the poem’s message. On the one hand it creates a link to Hipponax as the canonical exponent of the iambic genre and to the tale of his inspiration transmitted by Giorgios Choiroboskos, and so attests the presence of the iambic poet in the cultured literary circles at Nero’s imperial court. On the other hand the poet alludes to Callimachus, his iambic poetry and his poetology, and so (...)No categories
- Ap. Rhod. Argon. 3.291: An Emendation.Lorenzo Vespoli - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 167 (1):1-7.It is well-known to scholars that the simile of the wool spinner described in Verg. Aen. 8.407–413 reworks on a verbal level Ap. Rhod. Argon. 3.291–295. Comparing Verg. Aen. 8.410 and Ap. Rhod. Argon. 3.291, this paper aims to suggest that in Ap. Rhod. Argon. 3.291 Virgil read a different text from that generally accepted by modern editors.No categories
- Iliad 8,408 and 422: The variae lectiones ὅττι νοήσω, ὅττι νοήσῃ or ὅττί κεν εἴπω, ὅττί κεν εἴπῃ and the Use of the Modal Particle κεν in Homeric Greek. [REVIEW]Filip De Decker - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 166 (2):159-170.In this short article I discuss the variae lectiones in Il. 8.408 and 8.422. All manuscripts have ὅττι νοήσω (408) and ὅττι νοήσῃ (422), but many editors have preferred to print Aristarkhos’ corrections ὅττί κεν εἴπω and ὅττί κεν εἴπῃ respectively. By comparing the instances in which ὅττί κεν εἴπω/ῃς/ῃ and ὅττι νοήσω/ῃς/ῃ are used and by delving deeper into the use of the modal particle (MP) in epic Greek, I argue that the transmitted readings ὅττι νοήσω (408) and ὅττι (...)No categories

- An Unpublished Letter by A. E. Housman Related to the Textual Criticism of Statius’ Siluae.Mikhail Shumilin - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 166 (2):272-281.The article presents an edition of the previously unpublished letter from A. E. Housman to Grigory E. Saenger, written in Latin and dated 28 May, 1909, as well as a commentary on this text. The letter contains a criticism of Saenger’s 1909 edition of Statius’ Siluae. Housman evaluates the general approach of the edition and pronounces his judgement on two particular decisions made by the editor. The commentary treats both the general context of the letter and particular statements made by (...)No categories

- Mit Vernunft zu Gott? Vernunftbegriffe in Ciceros De natura deorum.Christian Vogel - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 166 (2):171-193.Concepts of reason play a decisive role in the discussion of the different ideas of god in Cicero’s De natura deorum. However, the dialogue uses many different conceptual terms (such as ratio, mens, consilium, intelligentia or cogitatio) to refer to the achievements and potentials of reason. The variable use of the expressions across the dialogue at first suggests purely rhetorical criteria – variatio delectat – in selecting the terms for reason. However, the investigation presented here into the use of terms (...)No categories
- „Elektronen und was es da noch geben mag...“: Zwei Briefe von Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff an Aby Warburg.Sebastian Zerhoch - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 166 (2):282-296.This article presents an edition with introduction and commentary of two unpublished letters that Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff wrote to the art historian and cultural scholar Aby Warburg in the 1920 s. The edition completes a correspondence that includes a letter from Warburg that has already been published several times. The two letters cast light on the hitherto barely known relation of Wilamowitz to Warburg himself and to his Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek in Hamburg. They centre on the Warburg Library’s special research interest, (...)No categories
