An Approach to the Study of Failed Battle Exhortation Speeches: Livius, Lucan and Silius Italicus
Keywords:
Failed harangue, Livy, Lucan, Silius Italicus, Historiography, EpicAbstract
The failed battle exhortation speeches have not been so far analyzed in a systematic way. This paper proposes a critical approach to this kind of speech in both Roman historiography and epic. Since the number of examples is not very high, we will study all of them in order to show theirvalue and function they fulfill. Authors (Livy, Lucan and Silius Italicus) have been selected taking into accountthe thematic and intertextual relationships among them.
