Abstract: This article rcsituates the Marathus cycle, unique in Roman elegy for its focus on homoerotic love, within its wider elegiac context, arguing that the poems may he read as an encapsulation of elegy as a whole. It focuses on the interchangeability of male and female roles to illustrate how the characters that populate these elegies both typify and reinforce the norms of Latin love elegy while nonetheless retaining the centrality of elegy’s male speaker.

Abstract: In the first book of the Aeneid, Aeneas admires the decorations that adorn the temple of Juno at Carthage, portraying the events of the Trojan War. As he is taken up in contemplation, Dido comes into the temple. What scene is Aeneas contemplating at the moment when the queen comes in? He is looking at the fury of Penthesilea, who is inflamed by warlike spirits as she leads her hosts of Amazons into battle.
