Nele faremos uma tradução integral de todos os textos atribuídos a Teócrito, Mosco e Bíon, fornecendo notas de comentário centradas sobretudo em questões de língua e em temas relevantes para a representação poética do meio ambiente (como espécies animais e vegetais, práticas agropastoris, elementos religiosos pertinentes à relação entre o humano e as demais partes da natureza, entre outros). Neste momento, completamos a primeira versão da tradução do corpus de Bíon e fizemos algumas notas, na sua maior parte apenas indicações de pontos do texto que pretendemos comentar. Agradecemos por quaisquer sugestões e correções.

"Poesia bucólica" discute as bases desse subgênero literário na Antiguidade greco-romana e apresenta e interpreta seus principais textos, com destaque para os de poetas latinos, mormente Virgílio, autor das Bucólicas ou Éclogas, obra que é objeto de abordagem detalhada, quase verso a verso. O trabalho começa com uma investigação sobre as origens da poesia bucólica na literatura grega, contexto em que Teócrito é o nome de maior relevância. O livro inclui uma análise da tradição crítica referente à bucólica, esclarecendo questões de nomenclatura, definição ou recepção (da noção de “Arcádia”, por exemplo) e sublinhando as contribuições da retórica e poética antigas. Poetas menos conhecidos, como Calpúrnio Sículo e Nemesiano, são objeto de discussão que valoriza sua originalidade. Traduções apoiam a análise crítica e comparecem também na breve antologia do final do volume.

The presence of Hesiod is visible not only in Milon’s speech and song, but also in Bucaeus’, and gives us various clues as to how Theocritus perceived Hesiod. Theocritus’ Hesiod, in Id. 10 and elsewhere in the Idylls, is not merely a vehicle of serious “didactic poetry”. Milon’s merciless attitude, obsession with work and food, and utilitarian view of poetry cannot simply be called “Hesiodic”; they rather represent the impact of Lityerses (another legendary singer) upon Milon. Theocritus’ Hesiod is also an artist who sings of beauty and pleasure, both in nature and in poetry itself. Theocritus’ reception of Hesiod is of capital importance for the genesis of bucolic poetry.

It deals with the role of Hesiod in Lucan' s view of civil war as a manifestation of cosmic phenomena. Two Lucanian characters are given special emphasis: Figulus and Erictho. The article seeks to identify the effect obtained in specific passages through allusion to Hesiod and explain the importance of Hesiodic paradigms in defining more general structuring patterns in the Bellum Civile, in particular as regards the connections between the political and the cosmic spheres of the war(s) related by Lucan. It argues that the relationship between Lucan and Hesiod is relevant for our interpretation of both poets.

This paper is concerned with the ways in which Anchieta’s image of the natives draws on two Latin epic motifs (belli amor, ‘love of war’, and immanes tigres, ‘fierce tigresses’), especially by discussing his reuse of material from Lucan’s Civil War and Statius’ Thebaid. These motifs are used to criticise the Indians’ domestic wars and cannibalism. However, I argue that Anchieta’s political reservations about the nature of the Portuguese war against the Indians have led him subtly to hint at a kind of hidden cannibalism on the part of the Portuguese.

This article deals with the animal similes employed by Lucan to describe Pompey or the Pompeians in three passages of the Civil War (1.327-9, 2.601-7 and 4.237-42). I argue the case for a strong interconnection between these similes, as well as for the prominence, in at least two of them, of elements that point to significant erotic imagery. This sexual innuendo is triggered mostly (but not only) by intertextuality (especially with Vergil). I also aim to show that the similes bring out Pompey’s shortcomings, associating him or his followers with indications of irrational violence. There is a sexual aspect, Lucan suggests, to the motivations behind such violence. Lucan’s handling of the similes is entirely dialogical: the different similes emanate from different speakers and/or situations, point to each other via a number of sometimes striking parallels, and offer contrasting or complementary views on the same subject. Key-words: Lucan; Pompey; animal similes; eroticism; dialogism.

His fight is a political and philosophical one. Lucan presents this challenge by means of a fantastic crossing of the Libyan desert as well as through speeches by Cato and his interlocutors. This paper attempts to show how the shape of the narrative exposes the dilemmas faced by the characters and the narrator himself in this context of crisis. I shall address the order of the contents in book 9, the narrator’s interventions, the use of direct speech and the manipulation of African geography.
This paper discusses how Lucan depicts the encounter between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in book ... more This paper discusses how Lucan depicts the encounter between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in book 10 of the Civil war. The narrator appears greatly disturbed by the way the Egyptian woman meddles with an episode of Roman history. I propose to show how Cleopatra assumes a dominant position in this passage and explain how this example of female power is seen in the (male-centred) Roman perspective offered by Lucan. To this end, I present this section of the Bellum ciuile in the context of the literary tradition dealing with Roman-Egyptian relations, especially as regards Cleopatra. Caesar’s attitude in book 10 ends up changing the narrator’s view of the general. I discuss the implications of this change for the poem as a whole. It is noticeable that the conflict between different models of femininity and masculinity enacted in the passage is linked to the internal contradictions of the narrative voice in its view of the role which Rome must play as an empire.

The analysis is not merely concerned with the identification of parallels linking discourses by different voices, but rather presupposes that the voices delivering these discourses make statements which respond to one another in a debate. The concept of responsion embraced here implies that the voices are (self-consciously or otherwise) assuming ideological positions in relation to one another and competing for rhetorical and political supremacy in the narrative. All through the emphasis is on passages interpreted as rejoinders to other passages. These replies are always rooted in the interests of particular speakers. I follow previous scholarship in seeing Lucan’s narrator almost as a character, but go on to argue that this narrator-character is in constant verbal interaction with the other characters’ speeches.

“didactic poetry”. Milon’s merciless attitude, obsession with work and food, and utilitarian view of poetry cannot simply be called “Hesiodic”; they rather represent the impact of Lityerses (another legendary singer) upon Milon. Theocritus’ Hesiod is also an artist who sings of beauty and pleasure, both in nature and in poetry itself. Theocritus’ reception of Hesiod is of capital
importance for the genesis of bucolic poetry.
Keywords: Theocritus’ Idyll 10; Hesiod; bucolic poetry; didactic poetry; Lityerses.
erotic elements and dialogism
This article deals with the animal similes employed by Lucan to describe Pompey or the Pompeians in three passages of the Civil War (1.327-9, 2.601-7 and 4.237-42). I argue the case for a strong interconnection between these similes, as well as for the prominence, in at least two of them, of elements that point to significant erotic imagery. This sexual innuendo is triggered mostly (but not only) by intertextuality (especially with Vergil). I also aim to show that the similes bring out Pompey’s shortcomings, associating him or his followers with indications of irrational violence. There is a sexual aspect, Lucan suggests, to the motivations behind such violence. Lucan’s handling of the similes is entirely dialogical: the different similes emanate from different speakers and/or situations, point to each other via a number of sometimes striking parallels, and offer contrasting or complementary views on the same subject.
Key-words: Lucan; Pompey; animal similes; eroticism; dialogism.
Keywords: Seneca; epistolography; Stoicism; inner dialogue; meditation; friendship.
