I argue that the phrase 'haud mollia iussa' at Geo. 3.41 is taken from Gallus' treatment of the Atalanta and Milanion myth, chosen to introduce the subject matter of Georgics 3 - viz. 'Amor'.

Septimius Serenus’ invocation to Ianus (fr. 23 Bl.) draws inspiration from the episode of Ianus at the beginning of Ovid’s Fasti, but is written in a rare meter of Callimachean origin. In this way Serenus ‘miniaturizes’ both the... more

The paper aims at debating some questions raised by vv. 6-9 ofthe Gallus papyrus from Qasr Ibrirn. Among them, the restoration ofthe text (plakato iudice te seems better at v. 9), the date (45-44 b. C. appears more likely) and the... more

By comparing the adverbial expression paulo post in Cinna fr. 6,2 Bl.2 with some details of Ovid’s account of Myrrha’s story in Metamorphoses, it is possible to state the position of the distich within the lost epyllion. In fr. 13 Bl.2 it... more

I look at two examples (Ciris 244, 259; and Ciris 242-3) in the Ciris where it can be established, in my view, that the Ciris-poet has closely adapted the diction of Cinna's Smyrna. In the latter case, I attempt to rebut the accepted view... more

I argue that Myrrha famously blushed in Cinna's Smyrna, this being an important source for Lavinia's blush in Aeneid 12.
