Besides an number of specific allusions, the Livian Cannae narrative also displays larger thematic connections with the Herodotean Thermopylae narrative; as a result, the Roman defeat is ascribed the same pivotal and programmatic function as Thermopylae in the Greek tradition, both as the anticipation of future victory at the moment of greatest defeat, and as the anticipation of later internal strife.Hist. 7.201-239arguably evokes In Ab Urbe Condita 22.32-6","PeriodicalId":445384,"journal":{"name":"Textual Strategies in Ancient War Narrative","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127429872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first part of this chapter discusses the three scenes in Aeneid 10 featuring Turnus; it focuses on the interaction of focalization and intertextuality in the similes, and on the way in which the intertextual quality of these similes points up Turnus' misguided behaviour. The second part investigates how the storm imagery shared by many similes in the book contribute to establishing a sub-narrative that supports and mirrors the plotline of the main narrative of Aeneid 10. This chapter supplements the discussion by Harrison in the same volume.","PeriodicalId":445384,"journal":{"name":"Textual Strategies in Ancient War Narrative","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132968078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All this further detracts from the strategic and military achievement of—in particular—the Athenian politician and general Cleon.This paper explores the narrative techniques by means of which the nar-rator persuades his narratees to accept his interpretative frame; in particular, he consistently presents events from the point of view of their actual participants, in order to make his narratees see and feel what these actual participants saw and felt.","PeriodicalId":445384,"journal":{"name":"Textual Strategies in Ancient War Narrative","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123974366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
