Ausonius’ Advice to a Painter : Interpreting Bissula 5 and 6
- 2021
-
In: Classical Philology. - Chicago : University of Chicago Press. - 0009-837X .- 1546-072X. ; 116:2, s. 282-292
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This note analyzes Ausonius’ Bissula 5 and 6. Three basic interpretative alternatives are discerned and explored: (1) “Bissula cannot be represented,” (2) “Bissula can be represented but only by a poet,” and (3) “Bissula can be represented after all.” It is argued that we cannot reduce the poems’ meaning to any of these alternatives, but the poet exploits polysemy, allusions and prosodic patterning to encourage each of them. The ruse lives up to Ausonius’ promise of an annoying, intoxicated, and dreamlike game for this ambigua puella.

Bakgrunden till Kellgrens ”Öfver Propertii Buste”
- 2014
-
In: Sjuttonhundratal. - : UiT The Arctic University of Norway. - 1652-4772. ; , s. 90-100
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the Swedish eighteenth-century poet Johan Henric Kellgren’s widely celebrated epigram “On a bust of Propertius" (“Öfver Propertii Buste eller Porträt”), published posthumously in Gustaf Regnér's edition of Kellgren's collected works. An attractive but fanciful story about the poem as Kellgrens autobiographical reflection and personal farewell on his deathbed has triggered an unwillingness among scholars to explore what the writer himself declares: that the piece is a translation of the epigram In statuam Propertii by the virtually unknown Italian Renaissance poet Guido Postumo Silvestri of Pesaro. The first section of the article surveys the intertextual field of Postumo’s poem and analyses its fusion of common tropes and motifs in the Greco-Roman and Neo-Latin ekphrastic epigram traditions. The second section traces the subsequent textual history of Postumo's poem and the changes it underwent in reprints as well as in the eighteenth-century Danish philologist Frederik Plums translation into his native language. The third and final section focuses on Kellgrens interpretation of the Danish text. It was through a process in several stages of reproductions and translations that this Neo-Latin creation was divested of its mythological references and allusions to late-antique poetry, thereby transformed into a pathos-driven swansong.

Dearness and death in the Iliad
- 2019
-
In: Cogent Arts and Humanities. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2331-1983. ; 6:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Readers have often pointed out that representations of dying warriors in the Iliad, despite the impersonal, unreflective, heterodiegetic form of narration, are typically suffused with a certain pathos. What do we mean by "pathos" in this context? It is argued that we are referring to a group of distinguishable emotions related to affiliative attachment, elicited by a number of recurring motifs or situation types. Characters perceived as dear and as embodying dear principles are vulnerable, suffer and die, eliciting tenderness, compassion and grief, but also being moved and poignancy. Conceptualizations and expressions of these emotions in the Homeric text are discussed. It is further argued that the recurrent appeals to these emotions throughout the poem cannot be defended against the charge of sentimentality by merely referring to the "noble restraint" manifested by the narrator's dispassionate tone in this context. The ruptured affiliative bonds that form the basis for this pathos are not contemplated in an isolated, undisturbed fashion, but they are crucially presented as existing in opposition to other kinds of affective motivations that push and pull the Homeric heroes in other directions. Dearness makes a brave but futile stand against other values, pleasures and desires that also endow heroic life with meaning, especially the quest for eternal fame.

-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article argues against a recent attempt to date Ioannes Tzetzes’ poem on Psellos’ paraphrase of Aristotle’s Peri hermeneias to after 1174/78 and thereby provide a new terminus post quem for Tzetzes’ death.
