Lucans reception of Horace escaped scholarly notice, since it transcended the literature genres of lyrics and epics. Not only Virgils Aeneid, but also Horaces lyrics were potent intertexts of Lucans epic. Apart from the congruent themes of Bellum Civile and the civil war poems by Horace there are also Horatian phrasings, themes, and thoughts throughout the entire epic. The predominant issues of Augustan literature such as civil war, the conflict of duty and love, Romulus and Remus, Troy, and the dichotomy city vs. country are treated with reference to the models of Virgil, Ovid, Livy, and Horace. This provides Lucans recipients with a clue as to the interpretation of his rather inaccessible work. The references are used for the destruction of Augustan myths and interpretation of history as well as the establishment of Lucans new Roman founding myth.

S'appuyant sur la polysémie du terme uates, désignant à la fois le poète et le prophète dans la Pharsale de Lucain, l'auteur s'intéresse successivement aux personnages de prophètes, aux anticipations du poète narrateur et à la conception du monde révélées par les passages prophétiques, afin d'analyser l'élaboration d'une poétique de la rupture. ©Electre 2024

This book explores Lucan's highly original deployment of contradictory Greco-Roman stereotypes about Egypt (utopian vs. xenophobic) as a means of reflecting on the violent tensions within his own society (conservatism vs. Caesarism). Lucan shows the two distinct facets of first-century BC Egypt, namely its ancient Pharaonic heritage and its latter-day Hellenistic culture under the Ptolemies, not only in spiritual conflict with one another (via the opposed characters of Acoreus, priest of old Memphis, and the Alexandrian courtier Pothinus) but also inextricably entangled with the corresponding factions of the Roman civil war and of Nero's Rome. Dr Tracy also connects Lucan's portrayal of Egypt and the Nile to his critical engagement with Greco-Roman discourse on natural science, particularly the Naturales Quaestiones of his uncle Seneca the Younger. Lastly, he examines Lucan's attitude toward the value of cultural diversity within the increasingly monocultural environment of the Roman Mediterranean.
