The paper deals with the poetic quotations referred to anger in Cicero’s Tusculanae disputationes, book 4. It aims to investigate their function and influence on Cicero’s prose. Poetic quotations emphasize some turning points of Cicero’s argumentation. Sometimes they belittle the rival thesis, sometimes they are self-quotations, establishing an intertextual relationship between the Tusculanae and the De oratore. The analysis highlights Cicero’s tendency to neglect the physic signs and the symptomatology of anger, coherently with the Stoic philosophy. Besides, the paper shows Cicero’s peculiar interest in verbal expression of anger, closely connected with his oratorical theory and practice.

Lucilius’ Orthographic Fragments: A Survey of Some Recent Works. During the last two decades a remarkable Lucilius’ Renaissance has characterized the scientific approaches to the vast and multifaceted theme of Roman satire. Despite this new and impetuous stream of studies on the ancient Roman satirist from Suessa Aurunca, his renowned fragments on Latin orthography have received relatively little attention. In this paper, Chahoud’s recent work concerning Lucilius on Latin Spelling (2019), which is the only new contribution devoted to this issue in the last years, represents a good starting point to draw some overall conclusions about Lucilius’ spelling prescriptions, their theoretical background and their internal consistency.

El presente artículo se propone leer el epigrama de Lucilio desde la tradición de la poesía simposíaca griega. Para ello, se centrará en la construcción de la imagen del poeta a partir del análisis del ‘yo’, ficcionalización del propio Lucilio. Se analizará principalmente los modos en que el autor se aparta de la tradicional imagen del poeta en el simposio para acercarse a una figura marginal y controversial, pero también simposíaca, como la del bufón-parásito, y dar cuenta de esta manera acerca de las verdaderas relaciones que pautan la praxis convival de su época.

This paper investigates how Persius, Roman author from the Neronian period commonly characterized as obscure and neglected by the critics, offers in his Saturae a new style for the genre Satire, in which he emulates traditional themes shared by Lucilius and Horace, such as the delimitation of the audience, the libertas, and the latinitas. It also aims at reinforcing that the study of Persius' poetry and his reinterpretation of tradition is fundamental for the understanding of the development of Satire as a genre in Rome, creating elements that will be fundamental for later satirists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'articolo propone una nuova discussione dell'autobiografia come elemento chiave della satira luciliana e oraziana: si insiste sulla caratterizzazione del genere attraverso la fisionomia dell'autore e dettagli personali a lui pertinenti, nonché sul ruolo dell'amicizia con i grandi come garanzia dell'innocuità e della controllabilità sociale di un genere poetico costituzionalmente destinato a suscitare diffidenza, allarme, rigetto. L'analisi parte dalla quella specie di archeologia del genere prospettata nell'Epistola 2,1 ed è condotta attraverso una discussione di luoghi programmatici delle Satire: soprattutto 1, 4 e 2, 1, di cui è proposta un'analisi ravvicinata, che cerca di ricostruire il difficile filo logico che si dipana nel componimento nel nesso non sempre perspicuo tra aggressività e autobiografia.

It focuses specifically on the construction of the poet´s image as the 'I' is understood to be the fictionalization of Lucillius himself. It examines the ways in which the author separates himself from the traditional image of the poet in the symposium, while he adopts a marginal and controversial -but still symposiac- figure as the buffoon or parasite. With this, Lucillius reveals the true relationships which regulate the convivial praxis of his time.
