Carm. 3.5)","authors":"Shirley Werner","doi":"10.3138/mous.20.1.01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/mous.20.1.01","url":null,"abstract":"Horace's fifth Roman Ode has often been taken as a push for war with Parthia and thus interpreted as an uncomfortable insertion of Horace's voice into politics. This article argues for a profoundly different take on the ode's rhetoric and thus on its political relevance. The analysis brings to bear a theoretical perspective recoverable from ancient rhetorical handbooks, which saw analogy, exemplarity, and some form of visual comparison as three aspects of a single argumentative or stylistic figure: comparison. The ode—structured as a movement through these forms of comparison—aims at nothing less than the articulation of a vision of Rome's, and Augustus’, place in the establishment of a new cosmic order along with a return to the old Roman virtues. Within the ode, oratorical figures of style and thought work together with a poetic strategy—Horace's deployment of an intricate and previously undetected ring composition—to produce meaning on many levels, embracing aesthetic and literary practices, rhetorical and ancient theoretical approaches, and political, religious and cosmological, and philosophical concerns.","PeriodicalId":513461,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion","volume":"4 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140764275","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}

By examining the evidence through a historical lens, it will be demonstrated that when real food crises became serious, concerted attempts were made by Claudius and Nero to address starvation concerns and feed the city of Rome, and in some ways elsewhere. The result was a range of special building projects whose nature was to provide employment, as well as promote trade, and individual identity. The first and foremost of these projects was Portus harbour.","PeriodicalId":513461,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion","volume":"97 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140765824","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}

À partir d'un bref panorama historique sur la constitution de l'espace littéraire mondial, nous essayons de comprendre la présence d'Ulysse dans trois grandes œuvres de la littérature décoloniale produite dans le « Nouveau Monde » : celles d'Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), de Haroldo de Campos (1929–2003) et de Derek Walcott (1930–2017). Au-delà des spécificités linguistiques et culturelles, notre hypothèse est que la figure d'Ulysse, incarnant la tradition classique (gréco-romaine), joue un rôle fondamental – quoique paradoxal – dans le projet littéraire décolonial de l’écrivain martiniquais (francophone), aussi bien que dans celui du Brésilien (lusophone) et du Saint-Lucien (anglophone).","PeriodicalId":513461,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion","volume":"16 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140764412","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}

Though brief, the letters provide valuable insights into matters pertaining to the activities of the EEF at the turn of the twentieth century, including the social relationships between various EEF excavators and how such relationships contributed to the movement of artifacts out of Egypt in general and irregularities in the practice of artifact distribution in particular. They also offer new details about the various means by which Currelly was acquiring Egyptian artifacts at a formative time for what would become Canada's foremost archaeological museum, the ROM.","PeriodicalId":513461,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion","volume":"37 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140765677","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}
