Abstract

Ascanius is the most prominent child hero in Virgil's Aeneid. He accompanies his father from Troy to Italy and is present from the first book of the epic to the last; he is destined to found the city of Alba Longa and the Julian family to which Caesar and Augustus both belonged; and he hunts, fights, makes speeches, and even makes a joke. In this first book-length study of Virgil's Ascanius, Anne Rogerson demonstrates the importance of this character not just to the Augustan family tree but to the texture and the meaning of the Aeneid. As a figure of prophecy and a symbol both of hopes for the future and of present uncertainties, Ascanius is a fusion of epic and dynastic desires. Compelling close readings of the representation and reception of this understudied character throughout the Aeneid expose the unexpectedly childish qualities of Virgil's heroic epic.

Abstract

The structure of this publication is different from previous years. This time we are not presenting diverse scientific articles by researchers, but one single topic linking up with the previous publications by Dr Paul Vandenbroeck entitled 'A suspect paradise. Studies on the left panel and detail symbolism of Hieronymus Bosch's so-called 'Garden of Earthly Delights''. This contribution is divided into two parts: "The Garden of Eden, the 'Work of Nature' and marriage" and "Meaningful motifs on the centre panel". The first part focusses on the paradise wedding, with the exotic and sinister and the animals and monstra in the Garden of Eden, the symbolism of the paradise fountain and the representation of the owl is unravelled. In the second part attention is paid to the crescent of the moon, the sphere, plants, animals, acrobats and flying people and the layered structure in the representation. Vandenbroeck poses the question whether here on the centre panel a paradise or a sinful situation is depicted. He provides arguments for the at least partially negative significance value of the symbolism, which renders it impossible to depict a fully positive reality such as Paradise. His study results find their way into this highly enthralling read.
