Full textThe aim of the author is to clarify the importance that Silius gives in his Punica to the character Hannibal. This work is based on a comparative study between the poem and the different latin and greek texts that we have about the Carthaginian chief. The intertexts with the former epics are also questioned, since Silius draws his inspiration from them to create an epic Hannibal, specific to the Punica.The Silius’ Hannibal can first be distinguished by his portrait in the whole epic : the poet nuances, indeed erases the defects that the historiographical tradition imputes to the Carthaginian, whereas he emphasizes his qualities, in particular by using epic topoi. Silius also portrays the chief as the one who stands for numerous motivations and stakes, which present him as the main character of the Punica.Moreover Hannibal plays a decisive part in the progressive revelation of Rome’s greatness. He serves as a real foil to the Romans and shows himself as the first witness of Rome’s renewal : the Roman recovery expresses itself, during the epic, in comparison to him, but also through his realization of it.Lastly, Silius increases Hannibal’s stature, by making him rule more than the second Punic war : the Carthaginian starts a titanic war against the gods ; he also calls for a continuation of the conflict, beyond the epic.Between rehabilitation and enhancement, the presentation of Hannibal in the Punica shows an undeniable innovation from Silius Italicus within the ancient tradition about the Carthaginian : Hannibal, who was yet one of Rome’s most fierce enemies, truly becomes an epic hero

Full textAlthough the moral system of the flavian epics is for the broadest part indebted to the Aeneid, their heroic ethics give evidence for spiritual evolution and literary emulation. The thematic consistency of the argonautica is founded on the trials of a group of heroes on their way towards immortality as a reward for valor. The punica are centred on the rebirth and improvement of roman iurtus through the trial of the punic war, and the thebaid describes the annihilation of a primitive heroism through the tragedy of fraternal strife, followed by the advent of a new purified heroism embodied by Theseus. Virgil's mystical providentialism, founded on pietas as a conscious fulfilment of divine will, has made the way for a greater stress laid on other values like gloria, fides and uirtus, allied (in Silius and above all in Statius), to a yearning for humanitas. Stoic influency (essentially deriving from Cicero in Silius and from Seneca and Lucan in Statius and Valerius) is partly responsible for this growing moralization and humanization of epic heroism, and the Hercules of the stoa is its most prominent model. This trend is in keeping with the mood of the flavian moral restoration, although political propaganda is obviously not the main purpose of these poems

Full textThe concept of landscape, which is not obvious in antiquity, makes possible a new consideration on the perception and representation of space in the Flavian times, and particularly in Statius and Silius Italicus' poems. It also allows raising the question of the aesthetic conceptions of the two poets, in the general artistic context of the period. On the basis of the modern definition of landscape and of its numerous significations, we have considered the different forms of representation of space in these poems, in terms of description, function, and interpretation. This process necessarily links three points: sight, discourse, and the system of signification; each has its own codes and conventions. We based on these observations the definition of a particular imaginary and aesthetic universe, and so we tried to show how could converge vision, imagination, and poetics. We can remark that perspective and naturalism are "de-constructed", in a constant artistic quest, as in mannerism. Landscape is then a symbolic expression of a conception of space, which changed in the Flavian times, and of aesthetics, which reveals the uncertainties of the time

Full textOur aim was to show deep relations between antic writers, above generic frontiers. In order to highlight them, we have observed how a same figure had been treated (Hannibal), and this by two different litterary genres (historiography and epic poetry). It allowed us to state transgeneric features, with two main parts : thematic (warrior world or not) and grammatical (narration, speech) stylistically developed. So, Livy becomes a poetry with his Hanniba's figure with his topoi of stranger. Our results point out, not particulars and exclusive ways, but generic interdependance, their complementarity and their mutual enrichment. Writers, such as expert, chase the raw material to induce admiration and support
