Meaningful form : parallelism and inverse parallelism in catullus, tibullus and horace.Van der Riet, Jacobus Werndly January 1998 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. / All the poems of Catullus and Tibullus and the first three books of Horace's Odes
are investigated tor structures of parallelism and inverse paralelism (chiasmus) and
thus the extent to which these devices were used is determined. Such structures are
demonstrated for the first time for several poems. Sometimes additions or
modifications are made to the structural analyses of other scholars, and sometimes
their findings are confirmed. The notion that inverse parallelism was seldom used by
Roman authors is dispelled. The freedom with which these devices were used,
resulting in a great variety of deviations from strictly symmetrical structures, is
demonstrated Both common and idiosyncratic features in the use of the devices by
the three authors are shown. Several poems of each author are discussed to illustrate
that the demonstration of a structure of parallelism or inverse parallelism is in itself
an interpretative act, which can at the same time serve as a basis for further
interpretation. In particular it is shown that structures of inverse parallelism often, if
not always, iconically reflect the meaning of the poem (hence the title of the thesis)
This ability or structures of inverse parallelism to reflect the meaning of the poem
may partly account for the fact that they are used more frequently than are structures
of parallelism. In the poems discussed structures of inverse parallelism iconically
reflect the ideas of reversal, cyclical movement, non-progression/deadlock, balance
and/or contrast and enclosure, as well as combinations of the above, such as a spiral
(both progression and non-progression) or the combination of reversal and nonprogression.
Continuity between the structural methods of Greek and Roman authors
is demonstrated, and a theoretical framework is provided, which answers the
questions how such structures can be determined, and what purposes, both practical
and poetic, they serve. A literary-critical awareness of inverse parallelism in
Antiquity is demonstrated. St. Augustine, especially, has a fairly developed
theoretical frame of reference on the subject, in his De Genest ad Litteram / Andrew Chakane 2019

Dispositio e distinção de gêneros nos Epodos de Horácio: estudo acompanhado de tradução em verso / Dispositio and gender in Epode of Horace: a study following the translation in verseHasegawa, Alexandre Pinheiro 25 October 2010 (has links)
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo, inicialmente, investigar os modos como Horácio organiza seus poemas e livros e como faz a passagem de um poema a outro, buscando seus antecedentes, seja na poesia grega, seja na latina. Concentra-se, depois, no livro de Epodos, que apresenta duas partes muito claras: a primeira do epod. 1 ao 10 e a segunda do epod. 11 ao 17. Tal divisão é a base da tese que se propõe a distinguir iambo de epodo na obra invectiva de Horácio, que se serviu não só dos modelos gregos, arcaicos e helenísticos, mas também de modelo latino. Do estudo que se fez decorrem alguns critérios da tradução proposta em verso: é a primeira tradução poética em português de todo livro dos Epodos. Recolhem-se, por fim, todas as traduções poéticas em português que foram encontradas, apresentadas por pequena introdução. / The initial objective of the present work is to investigate how Horace organizes his poems and books and how he operates the transition from one poem to the next. In order to accomplish that, his predecessors both in Greek as in Latin poetry were studied. Subsequently, it focuses on the Book of Epodes, which can be clearly be divided into two parts: the first, from epod. 1 to 10, and the second from epod. 11 to 17. Such division is the basis of this thesis, which proposes a distinction between iambus and epodes in Horaces invective work. Horace made use not only of Archaic Greek and Hellenistic but also of Latin models. From this study, some criteria for the proposed translation in verse were derived: this is the first poetic translation into Portuguese of the whole Book of Epodes. Finally, all the poetic translations into Portuguese that could be found were gathered and they are preceded by a brief introduction.

Uma poesia de mosaicos nas Odes de Horácio: comentário e tradução poética / A poetry of mosaics in the Odes of Horace: commentary and poetical translationFlores, Guilherme Gontijo 04 September 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho propõe uma leitura em mosaico das Odes, em três níveis: (a) a ordem das palavras, (b) organização do poema e (c) disposição do(s) livro(s). Em seguida, diante dos efeitos produzidos por esses níveis, a tese pretende justifica e apresentar uma tradução poética que tenha a função crítica que elucidar pela prática poética os problemas críticos apontados na parte teórica / This work proposes a reading in mosaics of the Odes, in three levels: (a) word-order, (b) organization of the poem and (c) disposition of the book(s). After that, in face of the effects produced by those levels, this thesis aims at justifying and presenting a poetic translation that also bears a critical function through clarifying by the poetical praxis the critical problems pointed in the theoretical section

The relationship between sound and content in Latin poetryWilliams, Matthew Llewellyn January 2004 (has links)
This dissertation examines the relationship between phonetic sound and content in Latin poetry, with a focus on Books 1-3 of Horace's Odes. The central argument is that a relationship exists between sound and content in poetry, that this can be analysed and described more thoroughly and systematically than is usually the case, and that the appreciation of poetry can be enhanced by doing so. Part 1 presents a scheme for describing the sound-content relationship, and argues that this accurately reflects the perceptions of poetic audiences and is psychologically valid. The scheme begins with the concept of the 'sonance', defined as any set of sounds that renders a passage sonically noteworthy. Sonances that relate to content are classified either as 'harmonic sonances', which relate to content due to the properties of the relevant sounds, or 'repetitive sonances', which relate to content purely due to the repetition (including patterning or contrasting) of sounds, regardless of their properties. Harmonic sonances, it is argued, may relate to content through four 'harmonies', depending on whether acoustic or articulatory properties are involved and whether the relationship is one of similarity between property and content or a more distant 'metaphor'. Repetitive sonances may relate to content by several different means, or 'modes of repetition'. Part 2 presents a simple method of numerical analysis which may be applied to the text by computer to extract passages that are relatively likely to contain a sonance, and briefly discusses the process of assessing these results, identifying further sonances by more natural means, and relating each sonance to the relevant content. As an essential preliminary to such matters, Latin phonetics and phonology are also discussed in detail. Parts 3 and 4 present the results of applying these resources of assessment and description to the text, to demonstrate the type of poetic appreciation which may thus be gained. Part 3 consists of two catalogues of harmonic and repetitive sonances taken from the whole of Odes 1-3. Part 4 is a specific examination of two entire odes in much greater detail. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Humanities, 2004.

Desire between male friends in Latin poems : in search of a sub-genre of homosocial erotic poetryLee, Wing Chi 21 July 2011 (has links)
Latin erotic poetry is an important genre recording surviving examples of male friendship. This report argues that a specific group of poems involving the poet and his powerful friend should be identified and studied separately as a sub-genre. Drawing examples largely from Horace, Catullus and Propertius, I argue that homosocial erotic poetry exploits the same repertoire of generic conventions as erotic poetry, but reshapes some of them for different functions. To articulate the erotic emphasis and the generic concern of this report, Eve Sedgwick’s notion of “homosocial desire” (1985) is introduced. The concept of homosociality is useful in revealing how male desire in our sub-genre has an erotic tinge and functions to foster the social bond of male friendship, but precludes the homoerotic possibility. Chapter One introduces the important terms and methodology chosen for this study, while Chapters Two to Four define and describe three distinctive features of the sub-genre. Chapter Two is devoted to showing that sermo amatorius, the “love speech” often featured in romantic relationships, can be assimilable to the structure of male homosocial relations. Chapters Three and Four examine how the sub-genre reshapes the recusatio and the topos of wealth to negotiate the tension of desire between the poets and their powerful friends. Ultimately, this report argues that male homosocial desire motivates the sub-generic conventions and thereby the seemingly disparate poems constitute a coherent sub-generic classification. / text

PUTTING THE EMPIRE IN ITS PLACE: OVID ON THE GOLDENNESS OF ROMELongard, Bradley J. 13 December 2012 (has links)
This study explores the relationship between poetry and politics in Books 1 and 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Vergil had refashioned the concept of the golden age to better resonate with Roman values, and Ovid in turn responds to Vergil by making his own golden age free from law, seafaring, and warfare (Met. 1.89-112). Ovid’s golden age clearly foils his ‘praise’ of Augustus in Book 15 (819-70), and thus challenges Vergil’s innovations. Ovid closely connects his demiurge (opifex, 1.79), who created the conditions necessary for the existence of the golden age, to himself (15.871-9); they together display the potency of poetic power. Poesis is different than the power of empire, which is inherently destructive: Jupiter terminates the golden age (1.113), and Augustus’ accomplishments are only ostensibly ‘peaceful’ (15.823, 833). Ovid suggests that the power of poesis remains beyond the destructive reach of Augustus, since Rome’s power is limited to the post-golden, chaotic world, and that poesis enjoys the status of eternality which Rome and Augustus claimed to possess themselves.

The Relationship between Horace's Sermones and Epistulae Book 1: "Are the Letters of Horace Satires?"Whybrew, Linda Christine January 2006 (has links)
"Are the Letters of Horace Satires?" (Hendrickson 1897: 313). In response to this question, this thesis investigates whether Horace's Sermones and Epistulae 1 all belong to the genre of satura. Ancient and modern evidence from the use of the terms Sermones, Epistulae, and satura, is surveyed, and is found to be inconclusive, but not to preclude Epist. 1 as satura. The nature of specifically Horatian satura is ascertained from the text of Serm. 1, especially Serm. 1.1 and the explicitly literary Serm. 1.4 and 1.10. The redefinition of Lucilian satura, and its political implications are also considered. To confirm Epist. 1 as satura a sequential reading of the three libelli is undertaken, tracing the evolution of the theme of locus: place, both as geographical location, and as status, place in the social hierarchy, in the context of the socio-political environment of the time of composition. Serm. 1.1 as a programmatic poem is shown to establish Epicurean moderation as a prerequisite for a vita beata. In Serm. 1 Horace's status as client-poet of Maecenas and Octavian initially permits this ideal lifestyle in the Urbs. The misperceptions of outsiders lead to a preference for a life of Epicurean quietude in the rus in Serm. 2, although Horace's aequanimitas is disturbed by urban officia, and abuse of libertas dicendi associated particularly with Stoicism. The ideal of rural withdrawal is reinforced in Epist. 1 through an exploration of appropriate behaviour in relationships with potentes amici. Horace's addressees cover the entire range of the social hierarchy, and in his letters he utilizes the arguments of moral philosophy, thus reconciling poetry and philosophy. He achieves a pragmatic compromise whereby he can enjoy libertas in his role as a poet, while acknowledging that personal libertas and true aequanimitas are still to be attained.
