This article explores Lister’s reading of one Classical author in particular, the 1st c. CE Latin poet Martial. Drawing on her diaries and other private papers, I argue that she sought out and read Martial’s poems “queerly,” for the purposes of self-edification, self-pleasure, flirtation, and even seduction. ven., 25 avril 2025 11:50:50 +0200 jeu., 27 nov. 2025 15:43:01 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/eugesta/1592 https://www.peren-revues.fr/eugesta/666 The paper is a contribution to the growing interest in the influence of Philodemus’ poetry upon Latin poetry, in particular elegy. It explores the socio-cultural and literary-historical implications of Philodemus’ epigram AP 5.132 (Sider 12), which concerns the speaker’s infatuation with an Oscan girl called Flora. This poem, short though it is, reveals a poet interacting with the linguistic and cultural diversity of Campania of the late Republic. It is well known that, in its description of the girl’s physical body, this epigram influenced Am. 1.5, the poem in which Ovid first introduces his girlfriend Corinna. What I shall also argue is that Philodemus’ play in his epigram with the dynamic multiculturalism of Campania transfers in Ovid’s Amores and Fasti to a fuller exploration of the crosscultural resonances in the name of the elegiac woman, including the goddess Flora, who was worshipped in Oscan territory as well as at Rome. mar., 14 juin 2022 09:09:16 +0200 jeu., 07 déc. 2023 16:58:21 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/eugesta/666
