Em cada nova proposta há um grande esforço de apresentar e justificar o enfoque específico da sua análise com grande escrúpulo científico. A leitura desta obra é, por um lado, extremamente informativa sobre o estado da questão no estudo das emoções, da teoria da metáfora ou dos estudos dos rumores como motor social, e, por outro lado, sugestiva de novas formas de análise e novas vias de investigação. nereiDa Villagra Centro de Estudos Clássicos da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa [email protected] FranCis Cairns, Hellenistic Epigram. Contexts of Exploration, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2016. XViii + 516 pp. ISBN 978-1-107-16850-3 The origins of Francis Cairns’ interest in Hellenistic epigram, according to the author himself, lie in his studies of Roman lyric and elegy (p. Xii). By “Hellenistic epigram” Cairns means epigrammatic production until the middle of the first century BC, including part of the Garland of Philip (p. 1). In the early pages of Hellenistic Epigram, Cairns reminds the reader of the scale of the loss of Hellenstic epigrams (pp. 1-2). The stimulus for this book lies in the difficulty of understanding Hellenistic epigram. This difficulty arises out of a number of causes, such as the poems’ short length, the great variety of authors (which hinders the study of the usus auctoris, p. 2), false and dubious ascriptions, and above all the context of epigram (p. 2). In fact, Cairns finds in the loss and uncertainty regarding the context of Hellenistic epigrams the main obstacle for their interpretation (p. 3). In Hellenistic Epigram, the “context” of the Hellenstic epigram is widely understood as being concerned with the following matters: whether the epigram was inscribed or not; its circulation; its first audience; the reality or fictionality of its characters; its genre, function, and dialect; and its relevant grammatical and syntactical characteristics. Furthermore, the “context” is understood to involve other factors that might affect the meaning of the epigram, such as local, historical, and cultural issues as well as aspects of the reality and of learning assumed by the epigram (p. 3). In addition to these contextual issues, according to Cairns, one should add a non-contextual concern – that of the “state of the text” (pp. 28-31). The objective of this book is thus to restore the contexts of the epigrams in order to interpret them (p. 31). Hellenistic Epigram is composed of fourteen chapters that treat epigrams from a variety of perspectives, as is evident by various chapter titles such as “Philosophical Matters” (chapter 3), “Medical Connections” (chapter 8), “Generic Innovation” (chapter 13), and “Learning” (chapter 14). As can be seen from the titles of these chapters, the themes of each chapter are broad in scope. Even so, as Cairns explains (pp. Xii, 31), the analysis of each epigram at times goes beyond the boundaries of the themes of the chapters, with the result that an epigram may be commented upon in different chapters, as happens, for example, with AP 5.134 by Posidippus, which is even cited twice (pp. 69-70, 132-135; see also p. 161). Cairn’s volume broaches some highly controversial issues, including how the interpretation of the beginning of the Aetia relates to the discussion of Callimachean aesthetics by Posidippus’ “imitators” (“Literary Polemics Continue”, pp. 161-186). Cairns offers many new insights and proposes new interpretations for well-known pieces, such as the inscription on the so called “Cup of Nestor” (CEG 454), which in his view has received “inappropriate treatment” (p. 316). This discussion forms part of a chapter titled “Speakers, Addressees, Antecedents” (pp. 314-350), which also features a section on “Unsafe assumptions of originality” (pp. 339-341) that challenges the novelty of Hellenistic epigram’s sharing of language and topoi between epigrammatic genres. In places more detailed arguments seem warranted. This is the case when it comes to deciding whether an epigram LIBRI RECENSITI 515 is fictitious or based upon actual events or circumstances; for example, Cairns merely remarks that Callimachus AP 7.539 is “undoubtedly a real epitaph” (p. 274). At the end of Hellenistic Epigram Cairns stresses a number of aspects critical to his discussion, including “the intellectual richness and the infinite variety of Hellenistic epigram” (p. 458), which makes the genre so challenging, and the fact that the investigation of Hellenistic epigram involves consideration of contexts as disparate as politics, onomastics, patronage, and philology, to name but a few (p. 458). As Cairns points out, “virtually the entire armour of classical scholarship has needed to be deployed” (p. 458). This approach of Cairns illustrates what readers are almost certainly to sense when reading Hellenistic Epigram – that the volume feeds off the immense erudition and experience of its author. Hellenistic Epigram is a stimulating, thought-provoking, sometimes challenging and polemical, volume that not only adds much to the existing scholarship on Hellenistic epigram but also raises new areas of investigation on the genre. Although the volume is primarily intended for the specialist scholar, all epigrams cited are accompanied by translations, which will broaden its potential readership. An extensive bibliography (pp. 461-498) is followed by a number of indices (Index Locorum, Index Anthologiae Graecae, Index of Personal Names in Epigrams, General Index, pp. 499-516) that are especially useful considering that the same epigram is often discussed in different chapters. ana lóio Centro de Estudos Clássicos da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa [email protected] DaViD Quint, Virgil’s Double Cross. Design and meaning in the Aeneid, Princeton University Press, 2018. XXii + 218 pp. ISBN 978-0-691-17937-7 Obra aclamada por vozes autorizadas como Hardie e Barchiesi, representa um momento significativo nos actuais estudos vergilianos, superando a antinomia entre a chamada escola de Harvard e a leitura mais tradicional dos que vêem na Eneida um poema comprometido com a política de Augusto. Se estes acentuam a propaganda augustana, aqueles têm-se centrado nos passos em que parece haver uma crítica ao Principado. A presente obra esboça uma síntese, procurando integrar as várias camadas da complexidade da obra, recorrendo à figura do quiasmo e realçando a imaginação simpatética do poeta, que percebe e exprime os dois ou mais lados das questões humanas, equacionando o drama das guerras civis e do Principado com os modelos homéricos. As contradições da realidade são assim postas a nu pelo poeta, mostrando os lados opostos e por vezes quiásticos das coisas. A Eneida é, nas palavras do autor, de entre as grandes obras da literatura europeia, a que consegue de forma mais perfeita esta visão complexa do mundo. Ideia fundamental com que definitivamente concordamos. Temos um comentário que abrange toda a Eneida, seguindo uma linha simultaneamente temática e sequencial, organizado nos seguintes capítulos: 1. Vergil’s Double Cross: Chiasmus and the Aeneid (books 1 and 12); 2. Aeacidae Pyrrhi: Trojans, Romans and their Greek Doubles (Books 2-3 and 6); 3. The Doubleness of Dido (Books 1, 4, 6); 4. Sons of Gods in Book 6; 5. Culture and Nature in Book 8 (7-9); 6. Brothers of Sarpedon: The design of Book 10 (Books 9-11); 7. The second Second Patroclus and the End of the Aeneid (Books 10 and 12). A análise é fina e erudita, mas o esforço de aplicação de um esquema de análise único ao conjunto da obra resulta inevitavelmente com uma eficácia variável. O método é duplo: associações entre passos da própria Eneida e relacionamento com o modelo homérico. I COMMENTATIONES La Antígona de Eurípides y el P.
