I contend that the novel depicts male perpetrators as failing to live up to the masculine ideal, 'othering' them from traditional masculinity, and accompanying positions of power, within the novel. This allows the perpetrators to represent a male whose masculinity is conflicted due to shifting notions of masculinity, resulting in a sense of insecurity and powerlessness that is sometimes compensated for with violence against women. The novel invites male readers to identify with these perpetrators temporarily, thus allowing them a brief respite from their own concerns about masculinity and power by enjoying the effects of this violence.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"65 1","pages":"41 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46648197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the fifth poem's most prominent features is the use of Ovidian words, images, and themes, specially those drawn from the Amores. These allusions to the Ovidian corpus perform a function of embedding the poem with layers of metapoetical effects. This article explores the intertextual nuances of Maximianus 5 and how they support the reading of the Greek girl as a scripta puella, as a metaphor for the elegiac genre and its tradition, showing how Maximianus' 'Ovidianism' employs elegiac features in order to lament and to decree the death of elegy itself.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"65 1","pages":"195 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49445537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It begins by examining whether the status of Hannibal changed during the Second Punic War, and concludes that the scope of Hannibal's competence (as στρατηγός) remained unchanged at this time. It then argues that the next office occupied by Hannibal after the end of the war was a formal consequence of his career development. The main reason for the doubts that arose in the sources about the status of Hannibal was the result of them looking at this Carthaginian leader through the prism of Roman jurisprudence.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"65 1","pages":"222 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42741362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pain felt by Apollo for having caused the death of Hyacinthus harmonizes with the song of Orpheus in which a bitter reflection is made on the arbitrariness with which the gods interact with mortals. A comparison with the poetic battle between the Pierides and the Muses in Book 5 then sheds light on a possible intertextual connection between the poem of Orpheus and Ovid, with a consequent meta-textual reference to the originality of the Metamorphoses as an epic poem.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"65 1","pages":"208 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44070027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
