“…Note how, in Book 6 of the Aeneid, Marcellus walks with a Claudian ancestor but Anchises frames him more as a Julian, whereas in Propertius he is of both families, and perhaps thus a symbol of a failed (due to his death) union between them; seeWallis 2018, 175-82. For the sense in which the poem "undermines Marcellus' role in nationbuilding myth," seeWallis 2018, 184. Roman 2014 Like Virgil, Propertius creates suspense by not naming Marcellus at the outset, and probably not at all, although there may be a lacuna in the text; Heyworthand Morwood 2011, 287.…”

But the name we give it before all others, the one we really hold answerable for it, is the mother." 20 The "mother" here stands for both the notion of a coherent self and testimony to its inherent instability, as demonstrated by the inevitable inadequacy or "falling short" of language as communication and signification.Kristeva is redescribing here, in psychoanalytic terms, a philosophical problem with the mother that has troubled modern feminist theory since its origins in the early twentieth century. What does motherhood mean -or rather, what is motherhood's relationship to meaning, particularly as it is defined by "patriarchal discourses" of the self, such as philosophy and literature? At the beginning of The Second Sex, her foundational work of feminist theory, Simone de Beauvoir sketched out the metaphorical meanings of the mother figure in Western culture:The Woman-Mother has a face of shadows: she is the chaos whence all have come and whither all must one day return; she is Nothingness. In the Night are confused together the multiple aspects of the world which daylight reveals: night of spirit confined in the generality and opacity of matter, night of sleep and of nothingness. In the deeps of the sea it is night: woman is the Mare tenebrarum, dreaded by navigators of old; it is night in the entrails of the earth....

Trojan Restoration and the Aeneid in Horace, Odes 3.3

This article argues that Juno’s speech in Horace’s Odes 3.3 includes a short series of programmatic allusions to Virgil’s Aeneid that assist Horace in promoting the distinct identity of his own lyric poetry. Juno’s speech asserts that Rome’s passage to greatness depends on not ‘rebuilding Troy’. Horace’s allusions identify the motif of Trojan restoration as a central theme in the Aeneid’s narrative, and, in a metapoetic sense, associate it pejoratively with the cultural performance of the epic itself in its canonical retelling of the Trojan story. In this way Horace uses Juno’s speech strategically to characterise the Aeneid as decadent and regressive; by contrast Juno promotes moral restraint as a virtue that characterises Horatian lyric.
