	LUCAN LUCANUSI - LoveToKnow Article on LUCAN LUCANUSI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lucan is said to have defeated Nero in a public poetical contest; Nero forbade him to recite in public, and the poets indignation made him an accomplice in the conspiracy of Piso.
		Besides his principal performance, Lucans works included poems on the ransom of Hector, the nether world, the fate of Orpheus, a eulogy of Nero, the burning of Rome, and one in honor of his wife (all mentioned by Statius), letters, epigrams, an unfinished tragedy on the subject of Medea and numerous miscellaneous pieces.
		Lucans temper could never have brooked mere imitation; his versification, no less than his subject, is entirely his own; he avoids the appearance of outward resemblance to his great predecessor with a persistency which can only have resulted from deliberate purpose, but he is largely influenced by the declamatory school of his grandfather and uncle.

	Lucan's Style
		In Lucan's case, at least, this aspect cannot be said to stem merely from the profound rhetorical influence of the period: since the universe he describes is marked by rupture and fragmentation, the kinds of narrative discontinuities he employs are appropriate to the subject matter.
		Thus, Lucan tends to reject the prevailing trend in epic towards an elevated vocabulary, generally preferring to limit himself to a more prosaic terminology in order to remove "epic distance." He is less concerned to embellish his material than present it in a dry, sardonic light.
		Lucan's extensive use of sententiae is, no doubt, a direct result of his own rhetorical training, but reflects as well the pervasive influence of rhetoric and declamation on the literature of the period.

		The origin of their friendship is unclear, but, since Nero was a patron of the arts, it would be reasonable to assume that the two men had mutual interests and that those interests fostered a certain respect and trust.
		Of course, the plot failed, Lucan was implicated, and, in April of 65 A.D., he was forced to commit suicide.
		Lucan's primary sources are Livy (whose history for this period no longer exists) and Caesar's own account of the civil wars (See appraisal for Lucan's attitude toward Caesar.).

	Pharsalia (DL SunSITE)
		Lucan's "Pharsalia" (or, "Civil War", as many scholars now prefer to call it) was written approximately a century after the events it chronicles took place.
		Lucan was born into a prominent Roman family (Seneca the Elder was his grandfather, and Seneca the Younger his uncle), and seems to have befriended the young Emperor Nero at an early age.
		Lucan's "Pharsalia" was left (probably) unfinished upon his death, coincidentally breaking off at almost the exact same point where Julius Caesar broke off in his commentary "On the Civil War".

	A reconsideration of Tacitus and Lucan
		In this paper, I focus on resilient similarities between Lucan's Bellum Civile and Tacitus' Histories, to show that the historian uses this epic to support his interpretation of historical events and explore the socio-historical similarities between the civil wars of 49 BC and AD 69.
		This intertextual discussion of Lucan and Tacitus contributes to the discussion begun in antiquity regarding the interaction between history and epic [Historia etenim proxima poetis et quodammodo carmen solutum, Quint.
		That Tacitus would use Lucan to fuel his historical imagination suggests the conceptual, historical, and moral stability of the civil war discourse in Roman literature, a continuity that transcends modern genre definitions and expectations about the ìscientificî integrity of history writing.

		Ten books of his epic Bellum Civile (on the civil war between Caesar and Pompey), erroneously called Pharsalia, survive.
		Though the poem is written in a severe style and is often digressive and extravagant, it has a kind of vigorous beauty and grandeur, which gave Lucan a high place in the esteem of later writers.

	Amazon.com: Books: Civil War (Oxford World's Classics (Paperback)) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lucan's epic poem on the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, unfinished at the time of his death, stands beside the poems of Virgil and Ovid in the first rank of Latin epic.
		Lucan, the author of the full-throated but incomplete epic the "Civil War", certainly deserves a spot next to the great Latin poets Ovid, Horace, and Virgil, whose epic works mark the pinnacle eloquence and intelligence of Latin verse.
		For all this, Lucan's "Civil War" is recommended, and also because the Oxford World Classics always present reliable translations, and this particular edition retains Lucan's charming and long-winded verse that courses so smoothly through the hearts and minds reader's who are fortunate enough to come into contact with it.
