Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rites and Ritual Acts as Prescribed by the Roman Religion According to the Commentary of Servius on Vergil's Aeneid Gladly would we have shown here at the beginning of the first part of our work, how the whole life of the Roman citizen, from the cradle to the grave, was influenced by ritualism and was not only overshadowed, but also regulated by it unfortunately, however, nothing at all can be found in the commentary of Servius on the Aeneid, which refers to rites for childhood and early youth.

Excerpt: ... the sacrifice is not acceptable to the gods (IV: 219). He who sacrifices, be he the pontifex or a magistratus, in the cinctus Gabinus, i. e. the toga rolled up in a peculiar fashion and drawn over the head (V:755; VII: 612), pours water and wine upon the forehead of the victim, in order to test it thereby. If it is frightened and shudders, it is not fit for sacrifice (VI: 244). Besides wine he also uses frankincense, with these words: "mactus est taurus vino vel ture" (IX: 641); hence the word mactare = magis augere. Then he sprinkles over the victim, the hearth and the offering-knife horna mola salsa, i. e. flour-mixed salt, hence immolatio, immolare (II:133; IV: 57; X:541); furthermore, he makes a certain gesture with the offering-knife along the back of the animal, from head to tail (XII: 173) and delivers the victim to the attendant, who kills it; cultrum supponere is the euphemistic expression (VI: 248). When the exta, i.e. heart, liver, lungs etc., after a thorough investigation, are found to be acceptable, they are carefully prepared and offered to the gods. The rest of the animal, the roasted meat, simply called viscera (I: 211; VI: 253), belongs to the priests, who then close the solemn act with a feast (III:231).--At private sacrifices the meat belongs to those who make the sacrifice and to their friends. Formerly after the sacrifice at the ara maxima of Hercules a so-called visceratio, i. e. a public distribution of meat to the people, was made, at which nothing of the bull should be left over (VIII: 183). At the same place Servius says (in contradiction to the statement just made?) that the meat of the victim was sold there at a high price, and that for the money obtained in this way another victim was bought etc.;...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multidimensional collection of essays explores the interrelation of religion, cultural identity, politics, literature, myth, and memory during the Roman Empire by focusing on the cultural dynamics embedded in and surrounding Philostratus s Heroikos, an early third-century C.E. dialogue about Homer and the heroes of the Trojan War. The essays focus on ritual and literary dimensions of hero cult; cultural and community identity reflected in the Heroikos and in early Christianity; and the cultural, literary, and political turn toward heroes in the negotiation of difference, particularly with those outside the Roman Empire.

Alcock, Hans Dieter Betz, Alain Blomart, Walter Burkert, Casey Dué, Simone Follet, Sidney H. Griffith, Jackson P. Hershbell, Christopher Jones, Jennifer K.

Download or read book Imagining the Chorus in Augustan Poetry written by Lauren Curtis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From archaic Sparta to classical Athens the chorus was a pervasive feature of Greek social and cultural life. Until now, however, its reception in Roman literature and culture has been little appreciated. This book examines how the chorus is reimagined in a brief but crucial period in the history of Latin literature, the early Augustan period from 30 to 10 BCE. It argues that in the work of Horace, Virgil, and Propertius, the language and imagery of the chorus articulate some of their most pressing concerns surrounding social and literary belonging in a rapidly changing Roman world. By re-examining seminal Roman texts such as Horace's Odes and Virgil's Aeneid from this fresh perspective, the book connects the history of musical culture with Augustan poetry's interrogation of fundamental questions surrounding the relationship between individual and community, poet and audience, performance and writing, Greek and Roman, and tradition and innovation.
