摘要

对皇帝来说，引用荷马的话既是危险也是机遇。《苏埃托尼乌斯的生平》表明，引用轶事广泛流传，以描述皇帝的好坏。随后，这些时刻本身就可能成为典故的主题。如果你引用荷马的一句名言，那你是在引用诗人还是凯撒？这种现象可以被称为元引用，即一种诗意的陈词滥调可以被重生为对一位知名人物之前使用该标签的有力引用。这种模糊的参考被塞涅卡的《夹竹桃病》所利用，反过来也被古代该文本的读者所利用。

Metaquotation: Homer and the Emperor

For the emperor, quoting Homer was both a danger and an opportunity. Suetonius’ Lives shows that anecdotes of quotation circulated widely to characterise the emperor for good or for ill. Subsequently, these moments could themselves become the subject of allusion. If you quote a line of Homer that was famously quoted by the emperor, are you quoting the poet or Caesar? This phenomenon, whereby a poetic cliché could be reborn as charged reference to a prior use of that tag by a well-known figure, might be termed metaquotation. This ambiguity of reference was exploited throughout Seneca's Apocolocyntosis, and in turn by readers of that text in antiquity.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Roman Studies (JRS) has appeared annually for a century, and is widely recognised as the premier UK journal in its field. Peer-reviewed papers on Roman history and Latin literature form the larger part of each issue. Papers on art history and archaeology are also published. The Journal regularly includes major review articles and archaeological surveys, along with one of the widest selections of reviews of recent publications in all scholarly languages. The journal seeks to publish articles with wide implications for our understanding of the Roman world. JRS papers have stimulated debates in fields as diverse as Roman democracy, the scale of the Roman economy, the demographic implications of slavery, and the materiality of the book.
