Now Vergil, though mentioning 'the smiling lawns of happy groves' and 'the fragrant bay-trees, ' and saying that the ghosts 'dwell in the shady woods, and haunt the couches that the river-banks afford, and the meadows that the fountains freshen, ' does not mention any flowers; but in the Homeric Hades the spirits pass 'along the mead of asphodel, ' Od. 11. 539, and the asphodel is a species of lily. (In Mn. 6. 883 Anchises says 'give me handfuls of lilies, ' which implies that they grew in Vergil's Elysian Fields also.) Acheron.--Mids. 3. 2. 357; Mcb. 3. 5. 15; Tit. 4. 3. 44. Vergil's description of Acheron is not minute, and Shakespeare does not seem very sure what it is. Thus in Mcb. we have 'the pit of Acheron, ' and in Tit. it is apparently a 'burning lake.' In Mids. the heaven is covered With drooping fog as black as Acheron. 2En. 6. 107 is perhaps responsible for the last: 'Tenebrosa palus Acheronte refuso.' The phrase 'pit of Acheron' in Hades 67 Mcb. is apparently applied by the witches to some tarn near the scene of the action. Cocytus.--Mentioned only in Tit. 2. 3. 236: As hateful as Cocytus' misty mouth. Cocytus is mentioned by Vergil in 2En. 6. 323 et alibi. Lethe.--R3. 4. 4. 250; H4B 5. 2. 72; Tw. 4. 1. 66; Hml. 1. 5. 33; Ant. 2. 1. 27; 2. 7. 114. The river of forgetfulness is described in Mn. 6. 703-723, but of course the idea is a familiar one. Twice Shakespeare uses the word as a synonym of forgetfulness: Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep. Tw. 4. 1. 66, also Ant. 2. 7. 114. Similar to this is the adjectival use in Ant. 2. 1. 27: 'a Lethe'd dulness.' The allusions in R3 and H4B would indicate that Shakespeare thinks of Lethe as 'washing' away or 'drowning' memory. In Vergil it is by drinking of the water th

Download or read book Poems written by William Shakespeare and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1593 Shakespeare awoke and found himself famous. Lines from his comic, erotic, tragic poem Venus and Adonis were on everyone's lips.The appearance in 1594 of the darkly reflective and richly descriptive Rape of Lucrece confirmed his fame as 'Sweet Master Shakespeare', Elizabethan England's most brilliant non-dramatic poet. Shorter poems in this volume testify further to Shakespeare's versatility and to his poetic fame. Some, like the much-debated `Phoenix and Turtle', pose problems of meaning; others raise questions about authorship and authenticity. Detailed annotation and a full Introduction seek to resolve such difficulties while also locating Shakespeare's poems in their literary context, which includes his own career as a playwright.

Download or read book Essays on Machiavelli s Conventional Piety Literary Inspirations and Pre Christian Preoccupation written by Maximilian Burkard and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a selection of Machiavelli’s literary pieces, among which are the Mandragola, Belfagor, the Vita di Castruccio, the Epistola, and the Pastorale. As research into literary motif, it raises, across five essays, new evidence on Machiavelli’s sources and suggestions as to where he drew from them (including the works of Livy, Virgil, and Boccaccio). Of the two other essays included, one intimates the way in which Shakespeare seems to have reappropriated Machiavelli’s Mandragola in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, in addition to Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale. The other is concerned with Mantegna’s Minerva Overcoming the Vices and proposes interpretative contexts for several of the painting’s iconographic details. This book will be of interest not only to those specialising in Machiavellian and Shakesperean literature, and the artwork of Mantegna, but also to those curious about how and why pre-Christian works have been drawn upon by subsequent Christian authors.

Download or read book Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries written by Janice Valls-Russell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Classical Mythology A Dictionary written by Janice Valls-Russell and published by Arden Shakespeare. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does Bassanio compare himself to Jason? What is Hecuba to Hamlet? Is the mechanicals' staging of the Pyramus and Thisbe story funny or sad? This dictionary elucidates Shakespeare's use of mythological references in an early modern context, while bringing them to life for today's audiences and readers, at a time of renewed critical interest in the reception of the classics and fascination with classical mythology in popular culture. It is also a precious tool for practitioners who may not always know quite what to make of mythological references. Mythological figures, creatures, places and stories crowd Shakespeare's plays and poems, featuring as allusions, poetic analogies, inset shows, scene settings and characters or plots in their own right. Most of these references were familiar to Shakespeare's spectators and readers, who knew them from the writings of Ovid, Virgil and other classical authors, or indirectly through translations, commentaries, ballads and iconography. This dictionary illustrates how, far from being isolated, a mythological reference may resonate with the poetics of the text and its structure, cast light on characters and contexts, and may therefore be worth exploring onstage in a variety of ways. The 200 headings correspond to words and names actually used by Shakespeare: individual figures (Dido, Venus, Hercules), categories (Amazons, Centaurs, nymphs, satyrs), places (Colchos, Troy). Medium and longer entries also cover early modern usage and critical analysis in a cross-disciplinary approach that includes reception, textual, performance, gender and political studies.
