“…Nikoloutsos has demonstrated that Marathus is as tightly linked to Tibullan elegy's central concerns of "gender, poetry, economics, and the state" as the elegiac mistress. 8 Like the puella, Marathus is a literary creation and the poems that feature him cannot be considered autobiographical exemplars of contemporary same-sex love and desire in Rome. Booth looks at Tibullus 1.8 and 1.9 as a continuous narrative and argues that Marathus' salient feature is his lack of manliness.…”

This paper argues that Tibullus' practice of altering the gender of his intertextual references destabilizes gender as a biological, social, and even grammatical category in his elegies. In 1.8, Tibullus draws on images of women's adornment from Callimachus, Philitas, and Propertius to create the opening image of the puer Marathus. In 2.6, Tibullus draws from Catullus' lament for his brother in carmen 101 as he describes Nemesis' dead young sister and demonstrates his technical skill in manipulating the fl exibility of grammatical gender in Latin.

This paper investigates the visual recreation of Helen in the medium of cinema by using as case studies two runaway productions of the 1950s: L'amante di Paride starring Hedy Lamarr and Helen of Troy with Rosanna Podestà in the title role. Examination of features such as costumes, makeup and hairstyle shows that in the former film Helen's representation is informed by and seeks to capitalize on Lamarr's status as a queen of glamour, equating Greek royalty with Hollywood royalty. The analysis of the second film explores further the homology between ancient and modern celebrity on screen and in extra-cinematic discourses, and shows how Podestà's stardom was built on and remained anchored in Helen's iconicity.
