Valerius Maximus - LoveToKnow 1911 VALERIUS MAXIMUS, Latin writer, author of a collection of historical anecdotes, flourished in the reign of Tiberius. The barrier between the diction of poetry and that of prose is broken down; the uses of words are strained; monstrous metaphors are invented; there are startling contrasts, dark innuendoes and highly coloured epithets; the most unnatural variations are played upon the artificial scale of grammatical and rhetorical figures of speech. The collection of Valerius was much used for school purposes, and its popularity in the middle ages is attested by the large number of MSS. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Valerius_Maximus   (704 words)

Valerius Maximus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Valerius Maximus was a Latin writer and author of a collection of historical anecdotes.

Rhetorical Figures Valerius Flaccus is one of the most elusive literary figures of the imperial Roman period: virtually nothing certain is known about him. Whether Valerius is referring to an intended literary project or one already undertaken by Domitian is not clear: no such poem has survived. In the proem, Valerius addresses Vespasian and mentions both his sons; the close textual proximity and coordinated purposes of the three figures is meant to stress familial solidarity, an important point of Flavian propaganda in the wake of the civil wars of 68-9. uts.cc.utexas.edu /~silver/Valerius/valerius-poet.html   (1664 words)

Valerius, Argonautica In Valerius he appears at 1.255-70) as an infant already marvelling at the departing heroes; as in Catullus 64, he represents the subsequent generation of Greek heroes who would conquer the Trojans, as well as - on the metaliterary level - serving as an icon for earlier epic. In Valerius' narrative Aeetes is in the midst of civil war with his brother Perses when the Argonauts arrive in Colchis and ask for the Fleece. Valerius, however, follows the version of Apollonius, which stresses Phineus's role as seer and prophet, and attributes his misfortunes to angering Jupiter by revealing to mankind the god's plans for the future. uts.cc.utexas.edu /~silver/Valerius/valerius-chars.html   (5867 words)

Publius Valerius Publicola Valerius secured the passing of these laws while still sole consul, that the people might feel grateful solely to him; afterwards he held the elections for the appointment of a colleague. The consul Valerius, determined to get an opportunity of attacking the Etruscans when they were scattered in large numbers over the fields, allowed small forages to pass unnoticed, whilst he was reserving himself for vengeance on a larger scale. After his third consulship, Valerius was not elected for two years -was he blamed for the defeat against Lars Porsenna?-, but in the sixth year of the Roman republic, he was consul again, together with Titus Lucretius Tricipitinus, his colleague in the second year. www.livius.org /va-vh/valerius/publicola.html   (3268 words)

Valerius Maximus, - Criticism and Essays Valerius accompanied his patron to Asia Minor (via the Aegean island of Ceos) and it is during his time in the east that he probably wrote his Memorable Doings and Sayings. In order to accomplish this task, Valerius almost invariably accompanied his tales with characteristically effusive and pretentious commentary: Caesar earns his praise, while women, slaves, and other social subordinates are routinely treated with condescension. In cases involving a disparity between traditional and contemporary practices, Valerius unfailingly took pains to emphasize the superiority of tradition, a theme that commentators consider central to the work. www.enotes.com /classical-medieval-criticism/valerius-maximus   (1489 words)

Valerius Terminus (Preface) Thus the sixteenth chapter is mentioned both in the epitome and among the detached passages, and we are thus enabled to see that the two portions of the following tract belong to the same work, as it appears from both that the sixteenth chapter was to treat of the doctrine of idola. If further evidence were required of the exact resemblance between the Inventory of Valerius Terminus and the Inventarium of the Advancement and the De Augmentis, I might quote the end of the 9th chapter, where the particular expressions correspond, if possible, more closely still. That the Valerius Terminus was composed before the Advancement, though a conclusion not deducible from the Inventory, is nevertheless probable: but to suppose that it was so composed exactly in its present form, involves, as I said, a difficulty; which I will now state. fly.hiwaay.net /~paul/bacon/valerius/preface.html   (1948 words)

[No title] One of the most interesting features of Valerius Paterculus' short history of Rome is precisely his interest in literary canons and the role of contemporary statesmen as exempla to all his contemporaries: all new men could now strive to be like Sejanus. In this sense B.'s discovery of the mind of Valerius is of lasting value for the study of the intellectual history of the early principate. The basic edition of Valerius is now over a century old (it is not very good), there is no commentary, the only English translation was done in 1678 and Valerius is not a particularly easy read. www.infomotions.com /serials/bmcr/bmcr-v4n04-potter-valerius.txt   (522 words)

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.02.57 Though Valerius, like many subsequent poets, tends to reproduce Virgilian formulations and modes of expression, his language is innovative in important respects: most obviously in its freedom of word order, its deployment of words and expressions in novel combinations and senses, and its striking use of abridgment. There is a good deal of tabulation of diction à la Axelson: K. regularly reports the frequency with which Valerius uses a word or phrase, often listed against its (more or less poetic) synonyms, with the derived ratios set against the practice of other epicists. This is miscontrued: Valerius' elegant variation on the usual tripartite universal expression (earth/sky/sea) refers to 'sciences' associated with the three realms. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2006/2006-02-57.html   (1883 words)
