COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN REPUBLICAN LATIN IMAGERY Of all stylistic devices, imagery has the greatest appeal to the imagination, but is also the most likely to offend, either by staleness or by tasteless excess. This volume establishes some of the limitations which govern figurative language in Latin speech and prose by exploring such questions as these: From what physical or social contexts is Latin imagery derived? To what extent is it influenced by the primacy of Greek as a cultural language and the derivation of the earliest Latin literature from Greek models? How are the metaphors expressed in terms of syntax, through verb, noun, adjective, or a combination of syntactical forms? How are the form and content of imagery related to the literary genre? In this study Professor Fantham analyses in detail the conservative imagery of Terence and of Cicero's letters, contrasting this naturalistic language with the fantasies of Plautus and the formalization of Cicero's speeches. A separate chapter on the de Oratore shows how the thematic and structural use of metaphor and analogy provide balance and continuity, giving Latin prose imagery its full role in a mature classical work of art. Numerous illustrative passages from Greek New Comedy, Terence, Plautus, and Cicero are reproduced in the text. ELAINE FANTHAM is Assistant Professor of Classics at Trinity College, University of Toronto.

Quotations are taken from the Oxford Classical Texts, where not otherwise specified. I have cited Menander from Koerte-Thierfelder (vol. i, ed. 3; Leipzig 1957) andKoerte (vol. n,ed. 2; Leipzig 1953), and the Oxford Classical text of Dyskolos; the fragments of Middle and New Comedy are cited from Kock (indicated as KH or on), whom I have found more convenient for use and verification than Meineke. Since I have referred often to modern works for minor points, and have made repeated use only of well-known studies, it seemed superfluous to add to the bulk of the book by a misleadingly large bibliography. I have therefore omitted a bibliography, giving full references in the first citation of each work or article consulted.

Preface

The title of this monograph calls for an apology, which may perhaps serve as an explanation of the book itself. I have used the word "Republican" merely as a time-indicator in the hope that students of Augustan and Silver Latin will not reach for the book and be disappointed. My interest is prose - spoken and written - and I believe that Latin prose can be said to have reached maturity by the end of the Republic; this is the reason for my time-limit. The word "imagery" can also be misleading; readers familiar with studies of imagery in English literature or Latin epic may be led to expect a discussion of image as symbol or leit-motif; but prose-imagery is more limited in intent and application, and my sights must be set lower than either C. Day Lewis's in The Poetic Image or Viktor Poschl's in Virgils Poetische Dichtkunst. Like others I have resorted to' 'imagery'' as a shorthand for all forms of figurative language which arise in my chosen field. These are predominantly metaphor, in which a word or words from another sphere of activity are substituted for the literal word of the context, and analogy, in which statements drawn from another sphere are used comparatively to explain and animate the literal statement of the writer. These overlap in the form of the metaphor Kara TOV avaXoyov: we can say either "in the race of life the old man has run his last lap and is approaching the finishing post," or "as a runner when he races his last lap draws near to the finishing post, so the old man draws near to the end of life." The former is a metaphor, the latter a comparison or analogy. Simile is rare in Latin prose; the simplest form, Aristotle's "he rushed like a lion," is too weak to be effective, and is used in Latin chiefly where the identification implied by metaphor is felt to be too bold or embarrassing: the full Homeric form, which adds decorative context to the simile, is inappropriate to prose. The only common form of simile is the formal comparison illustrated above. I could not call this work "Studies in Prose Imagery," since

PREFACE

the comic dramatists wrote in verse: yet they are the only extensive evidence for the figurative language of good colloquial Latin. For this reason I have attempted to relate the practice of Terence, and to some extent Plautus, to that of Cicero in familiar, rhetorical, and literary prose. The questions I want to ask are: From what physical or social contexts is Latin imagery commonly derived? To what extent is the choice of context influenced by the primacy of Greek as a cultural language and the derivation of the earliest Latin drama from Greek models? How are the metaphors expressed in terms of syntax, through verb, noun, adjective, or a combination of syntactical forms? How is the choice of imagery and its content related to the literary genre? How is the form of imagery - the development of its expression - rekted to the literary genre? I hope to establish by this approach some of the limitations which govern figurative language in Latin speech and prose. I have read and benefited from several studies of metaphor as an element of English style, but their value to me has been chiefly indirect, in suggesting questions to be asked. I hope the authors will forgive a lack of specific acknowledgment. I am conscious of an immense debt to scholars in my own field. From Eduard Fraenkel I learned, as an undergraduate, how to read and appreciate Latin, although I know how far I must fall short of the standards he required. Gordon Williams taught me when I was a nai've new graduate, and has helped and sustained me ever since with a generosity that only his colleagues and pupils can fully appreciate. In particular, he has patiently read and advised on the manuscript at two different stages in its growth. I have also profited greatly from helpful and stimulating discussions with Neville Collinge and George Grube, and would like to thank them, as much for their patience as for their erudition. Any errors or perversities in the text are my own. Since I approached Alexander Dalzell with my manuscript he has constantly shown the greatest kindness in giving his advice and technical assistance. Finally, Miss Jean Jamieson and the stafFof the University of Toronto Press have made it a pleasure for an inexperienced author to work with them. This book was published with the help of grants from the Humanities Research Council, using funds provided by the Canada Council, and from the Publications Fund of the University of Toronto Press, to whom I wish to express my thanks.

Introduction Metaphor and imagery in Terence

A student of the use of imagery in Latin authors might be excused if he considered the plays of Terence scarcely relevant to his interest: fully developed imagery of beauty and artistry will be found in lyric and epic poetry; exuberant and colourful imagery at the popular level, in the uninhibited language of Plautus and Petronius; the elaborate imagery of rhetoric in the speeches, rhetorical and philosophical works of Cicero and in Seneca. By comparison one would expect the naturalistic purus sermo1 of Terence's dramas to reveal only the simplest and most conventional similes and metaphors, as restricted in range as those admitted in the relatively unadorned prose of Cicero's correspondence or the narrative passages of his speeches and other works. Paradoxically the very restriction of range is one feature which makes the investigation of imagery and figurative language in Terence rewarding: he is the first source for those who are interested in sermo familiaris, and who J Terence's Elocutio in the light of Republican rhetorical theory. It is still disputed whether Terence's claim in the prologue to Hautontimorumenos (46) "in hac estpura oratio," is moral or stylistic; but no doubt attaches to Caesar's description ''puri sermonis amator" (Don. Vita Terenti). In this context purus brings Terence into line with the genus attenuatum of e.g. Rhet. Her. 4.11; "attenuata (sc. oratio) est quae demissa est usque ad usitatissimum puri sermonis consuetudinetn"; from a plain stylist such as Caesar, then, purus sermo is praise of the highest order. For Cicero, purus is associated, at a level of relative praise, with the good spoken Latin of the aristocrat (cf. Brut. 213; patrio fuisse institute puro sermone adsuefactam domum), characterized by elegantia (cf. Brut. 211, and 252, referring back to 211, 213) and with the plain style of Caesar; cf. Brut. 261, on Caesar's speeches; consuetudinem vitiosam et corruptam pura et incorrupta consuetudine emendat ... ad hanc elegantiam verborum Latinorum ... adiungit ilia oratoria ornamenta (etc.) and 262 on the commentarii; nihil est enim in historia pwra et inlustri brevitate dulcius. The elegantia which Cicero praises in Caesar and other exponents of the plain style expresses the same standards as the word which Cicero applies in verse (where elegant! sermone would be impossible) to Terence's language; "lectus sermo." This then is naturalistic writing; an artistic representation of natural educated speech.

REPUBLICAN LATIN IMAGERY

wish to form an idea of the imagery and metaphor acceptable in the daily speech of the educated Roman. From this point of view the comparison of metaphorical language in Terence with that found in Cicero's correspondence is illuminating, since the categories of metaphor at home both in Terence and in the considerably larger body of Cicero's letters may be considered as characteristic of educated Roman speech and thought, although the level of their treatment naturally reveals artistry beyond the reach of the average educated Roman. With this in mind I have tried to combine with the Terentian examples a comprehensive account of the figurative use of the same words or concepts in Cicero's correspondence. Some of these images are also attested in another genre nearer to prose than to poetic usage, that is in satire: both the fragments of Lucilius, who wrote for the same public a generation after Terence, and Horace's Satires and Epistles illustrate the metaphorical practice of familiar writing. But if the main interest of this analysis is a study ofsermofamiliaris, two objections seem to arise: first, why not base such an investigation on the far richer material available in Pkutus? This seemed less profitable as a focus for inquiry because Plautus' special genius produced too many images which are purely comic or "scurrilous," verbal exuberance for its own sake, for the sake of its sound, or for sheer absurdity; comic exaggeration or abuse, as well as mock-tragic pomp far removed from normal speech. Plautus' figurative language must often have been alien to the vocabulary and thought of the educated Roman, and deliberately so: countless colourful and splendid images, especially in the mouths of slaves and parasites, have been created for their comic power, not their naturalism. It would be short-sighted to exclude the figurative language of Plautus altogether, since much of it, particularly in the dialogue of young men or their respectable fathers, is clearly comparable to the language of Terence's citizens and Cicero's acquaintances, but I have felt justified in selecting from Pkutus' Cornucopia only the material which is closest to everyday speech: this involves a measure of a priori discrimination and selection, but most cases chosen are confirmed by parallel usage in both Terence and Cicero.2 2 In this respect it will be seen that my approach differs from that of one of the most recent articles touching on the imagery of Terence (P.B. Corbett, "Vis Comica," Eranos, vol. 62, 1964, 52-69), which concentrates on an important category of imagery in Plautus and Terence, imagery expressing violence (vis) through the syntactical medium which is most common in both writers and dominant in Terence, i.e. the verb. Corbett states (52) that "while Plautus and Terence, especially the former, are poets of sufficient creative power and originality to be able to devise imagery of their own, nor is there any doubt

INTRODUCTION

The second objection to the study of Terence as a source for the imagery of educated Roman speech lies in the word Roman. Terence was famed for his fidelity to the ethos of Menander, in characterization and hence in the representation of his dialogue. How can we call Terence's imagery Roman? Or in what sense is it Roman, and not Greek? I have assumed that Terence's figurative use of language often represents similar figures in the Greek of Menander and Apollodorus. How far this is true can be gauged partly by comparing surviving examples of imagery from Menander and New Comedy as a whole; but since this material is so limited in quantity, and since its survival has been prejudiced by the specialist interests of those who quote the fragments grammarians, glossarists, collectors of KaK&v/xpóvos

are common; cf. Fam. 4.6.2, hoc tarn gravi vulnere etiam ilia quae consanuisse videbantur recrudescunt; 15.4.14: ad sanandum vulnus iniuriae; Alt. 1.17.3: ut nihil a domestids vulneris factum sit, illud quidem quod erat, eos certe sanare potuisse; and 5.17.6: in sancmdis vulneribus quae sunt imposita provinciae. Perhaps the point of vulnus rather than tnorbus is that the harm has been deliberately inflicted by enemies. Thus in Cicero's political life the metaphor is essential, but it has no natural place in Terence's comedies. The one more specific metaphor at Ter. Ph. 690, hoc ulcus tangere, finds an approximate equivalent in Cicero's vulnus refricare, Alt. 5.15.2,12.18.1 or at Alt. 3.15.2, sed non faciam ut... meis vulneribus saepius manus adferam. How far does Terence differ from Plautus in his use of medical metaphor? I have mentioned Plautus' use o(medicus, but in both Cistellaria and Mercator the point of the metaphor lies in the person who is to heal the illness, and to have eliminated medicus would have destroyed the meaning required. Plautus' vocabulary is different: he does not use either mederi or sanare, or even remedium, but has several similar metaphors based on meditina and mederi. These are, however, rektively fewer than in Terence. We may compare with Cist. 74-5 above,

Cur. 160 Men. 98-9 Mer. 951 Mos. 3 87

viden ut anu'tremula meditinam facit? eapse merum condidicit bibere, foribus dat aquam quam bibant. homines non alit, verum educat recreatque. nullus melius meditinam facit. hie homo non sanust: : medicari amicus quin properas mihi? istum lepide medicabo metum.

In Cicero the metaphors based on remedium and medicina can be distinguished. He uses remedium only in the context of personal grief: Fain. 5.15.1, illius tanti vulneris quae remedia esse debebant... Att. 12.21.5, ab his me remediis noli in istam turbam vocare. Medicina is more general, of national and personal ills: important are temporis medicina Fam. 5.16.6 (cf. iarpds xpovos) and the combination of medicina with morbus in Fam. 9.3.2, gravitas morbi facit ut medicinae egeamus, Att. 2.20.3, novo quodam morbo civitas moritur ... tamen nulla

tnedicina adferatur; 10.14.2, nescioquo modo imbecillior est medicina quam morbus.* Plautus' use of morbus, aegrotus, and aegrotare is similar to that of Terence. Add to Cist. 74-5: Trin. 28-30

Trin. 75-6

nam hie nimium morbus mores invasit bonos ita plerique omnes iam sunt intermortui sed dum illi aegrotant... omnibus amicis morbum tu incuties gravem ut te videre audireque aegroti sient

True. 465-6 male quod mulier facere incepit nisi id ecficere perpetrat, id illi morbo, id illi seniost... The abundant medical metaphors in the surviving fragments of Philemon suggest that Trin. 28 ff. and 75 ff. are a close transktion of the Greek (cf. also Diphilus fr. 24, cu Kpia-tis 8' rj^Civ voaovaiv), but the word play on mores/morbum is clearly Roman, both in Plautus and Terence Hec. 239. Both Plautus (Cist. 74-5) and Terence associate morbus with the sickness of love, but what is exceptional in Plautus (add perhaps Mer. 489, 951, but here the keynote is madness, not sickness) is very common in Terence and will become more so in the elegiac poets. Aegrotus (An. 193, 557, Hau. 100) is used only of the lovesick; so also morbus, Eu. 225; medicari, An. 831, 944; mederi, Ph. 821-2. This probably reflects Menander's treatment of love as a sickness which appears at fr. 200 (cf. Euboulus fr. 4IK) although Terence gives no parallel for love as a wound, a clich£ which is to become dominant in the elegists. Terence is most attracted to the noun remedium (six instances) and in his kter plays uses it with some boldness, at Ph. 824 in combination with another metaphor (ex turbis evolvere) and at Ad. 294 applied to an actual person - the man, who alone has power to cure Sostrata's troubles. As in Cicero, remedium is not associated with morbus but with misfortunes and grief; its medical origin is already forgotten and the figurative sense has become its normal use. 9 Medicina; cf. also Fam. 5.15.4; Q.fr. 2.16.2; Alt. 2.1.7; 2.23.2; 3.7.2; 12.21.5; 16.15.5. For mederi; cf. Alt. 1.17.1 (suspiciones) quibus ego mederi cum cuperem ... 3.12.2, cui vulneri ut scribis medere si quid potes, lo.u.i, ea tempora nostra sunt ut ego eis mederi non possim, 13.9.2 haec res mederi potest.

REPUBLICAN LATIN IMAGERY

I have considered nautical and meteorological imagery together, because in Menander and in Cicero's letters metaphors of wind, hurricane, and storm are either combined or associated with distress at sea. As in our examination of medical metaphors, we see that those used by Terence are more simple and less technical than the Greek imagery. In particular, there are no extended analogies. No doubt such terms as éaytiv, Antiphanes KH, p. 16.239, Alexis KH, p. 340.123; Anaxippus KH, p. 297.32, and Men. Epitr. 707%., Ka.Ta4>a.ytiv TT\V irpot/cd. JIOM, fr. 325, Ska ToXavra Ka.Taay&v. The more vivid KaTa/?i/3pco(r/cw occurs in Hegesippus Kin, p. 313.30, ol KarafitppUKacr' even' £juou rets ovvlas. Concludere. Ph. 744 Conclusam hie habeo uxorem saevam; here the image of the wife as a wild beast is suggested partly by saevus, but more effectively by the verb concludere, which is shown for example by Pi. Cur. 449-50, in cavea si £oient/conclusi, itidem ut pulli gallinacei ... to be the vox propria for caging animals. The concept of woman as a wild beast is Menandrian; cf. fir. 422K, Kama-Top tariBripiov yvvi), but the form of thejoke mPhormio is more suggestive of a Roman origin. On An. 386 and Hec. 702, tot nunc me rebu' miserum concludit pater, Donatus also suggests that the image is derived from the caging or hunting down of wild beasts but the contexts are neutral; see s.v. claudere above. Conflare. An. 650 quantasque ... mihi conflavit sollicitudines; Eun. 874-5, magna familiaritas/con/fataf. This verb is found in Plautus only in its literal sense of kindling a fire: Ru. 765, dabo ignem, si quidem in capite tuo conflandi copiast. The usage is close to the Greek av^wav, at e.g., Ar. Eq. 468, TO.VT' kip ' olffiv eon quoniam ... studium dicendi, nisi accessit os, nullum potest esse, docebo vos, discipuli, id quod ipse non didici. Here there is probably a pun: the figurative sense of "effrontery" is primary; the rhetorical sense of "style" or "delivery" (as in de Or. 3.221, in ore sunt omnia) is latent. Palaestra. Ph. 484 eccum ab sua palaestra exit foras. Just as the pimp's establishment is Phaedria's daily exercise ground, so in Pi. Bac. 66 fF., Pistoclerus calls the house of the hetaerae, huiusmodi... palaestram/ubi damnis desudascitur ... and extends the comparison to the equipment of the brothel and that of the wrestling ground.12 Elsewhere in Plautus, Aul. 410, me iste habuit senex gymnasium, and As. 297, gymnasiumflagri, the beaten slave is the exercise 12 For metaphors based on the palaestra and gymnasium in amatory contexts, see Preston, op. at., pp. 51-3; he establishes that these were current in Greek erotic literature, and that the analogy of Bac. 66 ff. almost certainly had a similar form in the Menandrian original. He quotes as parallels for palaestra in Ph. 484, A.P. 5.259, Theocr. 7.125, and from New Comedy, Antiphanes, HI, p. 135, fr. 332, ytpovreiai iraXaurrpai, but acknowledges that "in all these cases the word is apparently somewhat more drastic than the Phormio passage." In fact, neither in Ph. 484 nor Bac. 66 S. is there any emphasis on physical sexual activity, but merely an intended contrast between the palaestra as the proper place for a young man to spend his time, and its improper substitute - a point illustrated by Philolaches' regrets in Mas. 149-55.

REPUBLICAN LATIN IMAGERY

ground of the ksh or the lasher. Terence's image is found also in Cicero, Alt. 5.13.1, utemur ea palaestra auamate diditimus, but in the more abstract sense of training, which palaestra often represents in the philosophical works; e.g. de Orat. 1.73, didicerintne palaestram an nesdant. Pascere. Ph. 85 restabat aliud nil nisi oculos pascere. Pascere is not metaphorical inPlautus: for oculos pascere, cf. Cic. Ven. 2.5.65, eius cruciatuatquesupplicio pascere oculos; Phil, n.8, ut in eius corpore kcerando ... oculos paverit suos. The use of pascere is striking, with a more vivid physical impact than the comparable oculos explere, Ven. 2.4.47, or satiare, Mil. 58. Peneptare. Ad. 715 peneptavi usque omne oppidum. While the verb graphically expresses Demea's elderly gait, it also follows the Plautine use of the same image in Am. ion, omnis plateas peneptavi (with an enumeration of pkces searched) and Rud. 233, omnia iam circumcursavi atque omnibu' ktebris perrepíafi/quaerere conservam. One may perhaps compare the use of in Aristophanes, Ran. 129, 485, but it should be noted that the only use of 'ipirav (Kadepireiv is not found) in Menander, fir. 6795, is a simple equivalent of Ikvai, parodying tragic diction. Praesens deus. Ph. 345 ea qui praebet, non tu hunc habeas praesentem deutri? In presenting the parasite's patron as a Otos «rt^acijs Terence goes further than anything in Plautus, who limits himself to Men. 138, teneo dextera genium meum, or the conventional meus rex of As. 919, Capt. 92, St. 455. The Greek debs kv avdpuwois, applied in all seriousness by Aristotle (Pol. 3.8.1) to the ideally good and wise man, seems to have become a cliché of eulogy in New Comedy, and is freely bestowed by Antiphanes (fr. 2O9K) on the successful poet. This is probably the reason for the surprising frequency of such ckims in Terence (see Appendix, p. 90 for its occurrence in amatory contexts). Men. fr. IK, TO jap rpkov /¿e TOUT eyui KpLva Beov, quoted by McGlynn, refers to the speaker's native land, and is not really comparable. In proclivi esse. An. 701 id faciam, in proclivi quod est. The same force of proclivis in the sense of sloping downhill, and hence easy, is found in Pi. Capt. 336 (cf. Lindsay, ed. maior, ad loc.], "tarn hoc quidem tibi in proclivi quam imber est quando pluit," whereas in Mil. 1018, Rud. 1132, ex proclivi planam faceré,13 Plautus contrasts the easy level ground with the difficult 13 The declension of the adjective appears to be still indeterminate in Plautus; at Mil.

uphill slope. The latter sense of the adjective is not attested in Cicero. For prodive "easy" cf. Off. 2.69, dictu quidem est proclive, and Fam. 6.10.6, in a context of prolonged metaphor of falling and sloping: et ipse ... cotidie delabi ad aequitatem, et ipsa causa ea est ut iam simul cum re publica quae in perpetuum iacere non potest necessario reviviscat ... quae quoniam in temporum inclinationibus saepe parvis posita sunt, omnia momenta observabimus neque ullum praetermittemus tui iuvandi et levandi locum, itaque illud alterum, quod dixi, litterarum genus cotidie mihi ut spero fiet proclivius. Profundere. Ad. 133; see s.v. effundere. Protelare. Ph. 213 ne te iratus suis saevidicis dictis proteiet. Dziatzko-Hauler, ad loc., see the whole phrase as a parody of tragic style. On their interpretation protelare here as at Turpilius pOR, indignissime patria protelatum esse saevitia patris, implies driving out; cf. Festus, p. 2671.., protelare: longe propellere. Although the verb, like the adverb protelo, probably derived from the protelum (e^a^irpov), a rope to which oxen were harnessed one behind the other, Walde-Hofmann,3 n. 376, believe Terence's use here assumes an original derivation from telum. If so, the underlying metaphor is military, not agricultural. Provincia. Ht. 516 idcirco huic nostro traditast provinda', Ph. 72, O Geta, provindam/cepisti duram. These examples merely continue the Plautine tradition by which provinda was applied in grandiose language to any task, particularly that of a skve. Compare Pi. Ps. 158, te cum securi caudicali praeficio provindae; St. 698, cape provindam/ : : quid istuc est provindae'? : : utrum Fontine an Libero/impen'wm te inhibere mavis; Trin. 189-90, nunc ego te quaeso ut me opera et consilio iuves./communicesque hanc mecum meam provindam (here addressed to a free citizen by another citizen). The related and equally common use of imperium in Plautus is confined to serious use (especially of the patria potestas) in Terence. Rabies. En. 301 ludum iocumque dices fuisse ilium alterum/praeut huius rabies quae dabit. Rabies is not used elsewhere in Plautus or Terence for the 1018 the second declension form proclivo is attested; in Rud. 1132 the text is damaged and the form due to a supplement.

frenzy of love. (In Plaut\israbies,rabiosus, denote real madness, or are associated with dogs as a symbol of savage anger; cf. Men. 936.) The coarse word here is probably chosen to fit the speaker's character; he is the rascally slave Parmeno. The use ofrabies for sexual passion in Lucretius, 4.1083, 1117, is not intended as a metaphor, but as a true description, but cf. Hor. Epod. 12.9 (perhaps the most savagely coarse of the iambi}, dum pene soluto/indomitam properat rabiem sedare. (See Appendix, for the use of words denoting madness to describe love and the lover in Elegy and Lyric.) Reflectere. Ad. 306-7 quern neque fides neque iusiurandum ... /repressit neque reflexit. Although flectere may occur once in Plautus (if Ussing's conjecture flexi ingenium meum is retained at Mer. 668 for the meaningless fed of the Mss) with a personal subject and the mind as object, Terence's use of abstract subject and personal object here makes the image original. For the conventional usage cf. Cicero, ad Brut. 24.11, siflexerit ad versus alios iudicium suum; Alt. 11.18.2, ut earn (sc. iram Antom) flectas te rogo. The metaphor, derived from chariot racing, is common at least in Plato of bending the will, persuading to relent, etc., cf. Prot. 320, Resp. 4946, Menex. 2446, dXX' /cdi epoyBrjae, Laches I92C, et TIS ... jui) Ka^itrono ciAXd /caprepoT.14 Retrahere. See s.v.fugitivus. Retundere. Hau. 945 ut eius animum qui nunc luxuria et lascivia/diffluit retundam redigam ... One thing is clear about this, the only use ofretundere in Terence: the imagery of beating or blunting (as in obtundere, q.v.) is incompatible with the liquid implications ofdiffluere. Since the speaker is the pompous Chremes, the absurdity is no doubt intentional. A similar use of retundere occurs in Cic. Fam. 12.14.3 (from Lentulus Spinther), quorum improbitatem aliquando retundere utile est rei publicae; cf. also Caelius, Fam. 8.6.1, Appius rettudit sermones. Revolvers. See s.v. evolvere. Rima. Eu. 105 plenus rimarum sum, hac atque iliac perfluo, developing the imagery suggested by contineo in 103. The metaphor is completed in 121, utrumque hoc falsumst, effluet. McGlynn compares Hor. Sat. 2.6.46, rimosa ... 14 For a different metaphorical use ofjtectere implying deviation from the right course, compare Ennius, W2O2-3V, quo vobis mentes, rectae quae stare solebant/antehac dementes sese flexere viai.

aure.16 The leaky vessel in Pkutus is merely a symbol of wasted labour: Ps. 369, in pertussum ingerimus dicta dolium, a proverbial form which recurs in Lucr. 3.936, pertusum congesta quasi in vas/perfluxere. Only in Terence and Horace is the image associated with indiscretion. Since Horace in Sat. 2.3.259 f., gives a vivid paraphrase of this scene from Eunuchus, we may perhaps assume that 2.6.46, is a reminiscence of Eu. 105, and not an independent usage. Ringi. Ph. 341 dum tibi fit quod placeat, ille ringitur; tu rideas. On this Donatus interprets stomachari taciturn; est enim translatio a canibus ktratoriis. The verb is rare but classical; cf. Cic. Att. 4.5.2, et ii subringentur qui villam me moleste ferunt habere; Hor. Ep. 2.2.128, sapere et ringi - to suffer and grit the teeth. See Dziatzko-Hauler, Phormio, ad loc., p. 311, and s.v.gannire above. Saxutn. See s.v. lapis. Sepelire. Ph. 943 sepultus sum: "I'm as good as dead"; "I'm ruined." So also Caecil. fr. IIR, depositus modo sum anima, vita sepultus. This is interesting chiefly because the image is carried through into the final scene, where in 1015, verbafiunt mortuo, Phormio sees in Demipho's attempts to excuse his father the funeral laudatio, and in 1026, exsequias Chremeti quibus est commodum ire, em tempus est, proclaims the funeral procession; in itself, sepultus sum is merely a more drastic equivalent of the cliches peril, intern. The different allusions of the imagery occur in an absurd, reverse order - burial - laudatio announcement of procession. In the final scene ofAsinaria the parasite indulges in the same joke; 910, ecquis currit pollinctorem accersere, explained by 911, mortuos est Demaenetus. The dramatic situation is identical, as he announces the ruin of the faithless husband whom he has exposed. This is probably a traditional motif older than Apollodorus or Demophilus. Somnium. Ph. 494, 874 (as an exclamation "nonsense"), Ad. 394-5 tu quantu' quantu's, nil nisi sapientia es/ill' somnium. Micio's alleged folly and Demea's good sense are dramatized by the identification. The phrase vigilantiam tuam 15 According to Donatus on An. 609, servon fortunas mcas me commississe^HM'/i, and Ph. 745-6, ne vos forte imprudentes foiis/effuttiretis, the same image of a leaky container underlies the adjective/Mtfife, and the verb effuttire: translatio est a vase futili nomine, quod patulo ore, fundo acuto instabile nihil per se contineat, undios is so common in Greek that they need not imply any financial imagery, but from Menander, cf. Sam. 274-5, ws Se /¿aAA[o]i' 'évvo[vs yl]vo^ai/Kon Xa/j/Sápcc \oyiffnov (\oyianov \a.fj.(3ávfi,v, to hold an audit; cf. rationem subducere], and Penh. 173, Kol TO KíáXcuo!' oú5éirco Xo7Ífojuovcnv. Antonius has just mentioned his knowledge of Aristotle's rhetorical works, (160) in quibus ipse sua quaedam de eadem arte dixit. Is this metaphor a reminiscence of the Tópica which Cicero adapts in the following sections? 12 The basic image here is that of the acies ingenii; cf. acie mentis in 2.160 above. Both intellect and tongue are conceived as weapons or tools of oratory to be sharpened by training, and the hack rhetoricians are the smiths who beat out the blade on the anvil. With tundo the emphasis is placed on the monotony of the process; more usual is play on the concepts of sharpening and blunting. Compare de Orat. 3.93, non quo ... acui ingenia adutescentium nollem, sed contra ingenia obtundi nolui, and 121, non enint so/urn acuenda nobis ñeque procudenda lingua est, or Tuse. 1.73, mentis acies ... hebescit, and 80, multa quae acuant mentem, multa quae obtundant. Tacitus in Dial. 20, iuvenes ... studiomm in incude positi, is imitating de Or atore 2.162, as he does many other metaphors of this book. In An. 304-5 Horace offers a variant to express the critic's role, Jungar vice cotis, acutum/ reddere quaeferrum valet. The metaphor occurs in comedy also; cf. Plaut. Pi. 614, haec mihi incus est; procudam ego hodie hiñe mullos dolos. The dupe is himself the anvil on which the slave will beat out the weapon of his wiles.

Passing to the more educated student, Antonius describes him as aliquo iam imbutus usu; in this case imbutus (literally dipped; the metaphorical association with learning goes back to Plaut. Trin. 293-4, neve imbuas ingenium (artibus)) is in harmony with the succeeding, developed, image based on the traditional theme of drinking from the springs of knowledge. The contrast is made between the inferior sedusa acula and unde universumjlumen erumpat. Wilkins (ad. loc.} interprets acula as a pool, contrasted with the flowing river, but there is no reason why acula should not be a stream here as in 1.28 (applied to the Ilissus). The antithesis is between a small remote stream and, not the fumen, but thefans unde ...fumen erumpat - the source of all knowledge; thus this allusion offers no conflict with 2.117 (tardi ingénu est rivulos consectari, fontis rerum non videre; et iam aetatis est usque nostri a capite quod velimus arcessere et unde omnia manent videre) or typical Hellenistic literary symbolism, as in Prop. 2.10.25-6, where Ascraei fontes are superior to Pertnessi fumen. But how is the transition made from the source of knowledge to the next metaphor? There is no masculine antecedent to supply the subject of qui ... commonstret, nor can we derive an antecedent from the previous phrase logically reconcilable with showing the seat of all the orator's argumenta as a man would show another the way.13 Instead the imagery itself ensures that the reader will follow the argument. Both illuc and unde must refer to Aristotle, who was praised in 160 as the possessor and source of universal knowledge - the universumjlumen of 162. Similarly the image of showing the way recalls the first reference to Aristotle by Catulus in 152: sed Aristóteles posuit ... quosdam locos ex quibus omnis argumenti via ... inveniretur, a quo quidem homine ... non aberrat oratio tua, sive tu similitudine illius divini ingeni eadem incurrís vestigia, and its resumption by Antonius in 160: a cuius inventis tibi ego videor non longe aberrare. Inventio, which Cicero traces back to Aristotle, is indicated by the imagery of finding a path; the recurrence of the metaphor in 152,160, and 162 enables the reader to follow the thread of discussion without any need for specification of the masculine pronoun qui. 13 Of the two elements in this image the nouns sedes et quasi domicilia are less significant than the verb commonstrare, since domicilium is most often metaphorical in Cicero; cf. 1.105, domicilium imperi etgloriae; Balb. 13, gloriae domicilium; Prov. Cos. 34, numquam haec urbs summo imperio domicilium ac sedem praebuisset. Commonstrare (monstrare, demonstrare) are the voces propriae for showing a person the way (cf. Plaut. As. 381, Cur. 404, 467; Enn. Sc. 3217, 3987; Ter. Ph. 305-6), and so the verb revives the original physical force of the nouns dimmed by the traditional metaphor.

For the combination of images, cf. 1.203, equidem vobis, quoniam ita voluistis, fonds unie hauriretis atque itinera ipsa ita putavi esse demonstranda, non ut ipse dux essem ... sed ut commonstrem tantum viam, et, ut fieri solet, digitum ad fontes intenderem. Here Crassus is speaking of the sources of the orator's general education; in book n, Antonius' dominant theme from 116 to 176 is inventio, and the technical sources of argument (TTÍOTÉIS 'évTfX"oi) provided by Aristotle's Tópica. These are summarized in the ten chapters introduced by our passage (163-73). But from the beginning Antonius keeps the Tópica before the reader by a sequence of jetties-imagery; 117, rivulos contrasted withfontes;1* 130, aperiamus autetn capita ea, unde omnis ... disputatio ducitur, 142, argumentorumyótttó, and the final allusion here in 162. At the same time, the second image, that of showing the way, serves as a marker for the opening of the ten chapters of Tópica, matched, at their close, by a modified version of the same image in the analogy of 174: si aurum cui ... commonstrare vellem, satis esse deberet si signa et notas ostenderem locorum, quibus cognitis ipse sibi foderet et id quod vellet parvo labore, nullo errare, inveniret; sic ego has argumentorum notavi notas, quae quaerenti demonstrant ubi sint. Here locorum too performs a double function, for Cicero, wishing to refer to the TÓTTOÍ. of Aristotle, returns to the literal meaning of their Latin equivalent (the genitive is common to abstract loci and physical loco) as the focus of his analogy. A whole network of thematic and structural relationships can be traced from the one sentence of 2.162. A more obvious pattern of thematic imagery runs through my third example, the section from 2.188-205, illustrating the inflammatory power of moveré from Antonius' great defence speech for Norbanus. We have already examined the two chapters (186^7) of general introduction to the theme; in these Cicero drops no hint of fire-imagery, drawing instead from racing, medicine, hunting, sailing, and military tactics. This must be a conscious artistic decision to reserve the basic fire-motif, for with the trial narrative in 188, there begins a series of allusions to inflaming the audience which is continued through 14 For the contrast of inferior, derivative rivuti and original creative/OHiei, cf. Gael. 19; ... ex quo iste fonte senator etnanet. nam si ipse orietur et nascetur ex sese, fortasse, ut soleo, commovebor; sin autem est rivolus arcessitus et âuctus ab ipso capite ... and Acact. Post. 8 (Varro is speaking) meos amicos... ad Graecos ire iubeo, ut exfontibus potius hauriant quant rivolos consectentur.

seventeen paragraphs; cf. 188, ut mihi non solum tu incendere iudicem sed ipse arderé videaris; 190, nisi te ipsumflagrantem odio ante viderit ... ut enim nulla materies tam facilis ad exardescendutn est quae nisi admoto igni ignem conclure possit, sic nulla mens est tam ad comprehendendam vim oratoris parata, quae possit incendi, nisi ipse inflammatus ad earn et ardens accesserit; 193, ut ex persona mihi arderé oculos hominis histrionis viderentur; 194 poetam bonum neminem ... sine inftammatione animorum exsistere posse et sine quodam adflatu quasi furoris (the wind to fan the flames); 197, qui in accusando sodali meo tantum incendium non oratione solum sed etiam ... vi et dolore et ardore animi concitaras, ut ego ad id restinguendum vix conarer accederé. This is recalled by Sulpicius in 202, tibi ego non iudicium sed incendium tradidissem and leads to a new variation in 205, nam ñeque parvis in rebus adhibendae sunt hae dicendifaces ... Even after the main sequence, there is a late echo; 209, quae si inflammanda sunt. At the same time the dominant motif is diversified by other figurative knguage: 199, dolorem ... refricabam (rubbing a sore or wound); 203, quam tibi ... munisti ad te audiendum viam, serpere occulte coepisti; 205, ad eorum mentes oratione flectendas ... si aut tragoedias agamus in nugis aut conveliere adoriamur ea quae non possint commoveri. Within the fire imagery itself there is great variety. Cicero plays on a range of five "fire"-verbs and four nouns16 and three related metaphors - the mind as materies (fuel or timber), furor as a fanning wind, and the more common restinguere of calming inflamed emotions. Such imagery can be found in Greek prose, but it is far more at home in Latin; see Imagery in Terence p. n. The fourth and last example illustrates Cicero's use of imagery as an element of structure in the social framework of book 2 - imagery as part of the sermo 15 These often occur in combination elsewhere in de Oratore. I list usages of single words also: 1.15, flagrare; 6o, inflammare and exstinguere; 97, incendere; 134,flagrare and ardor; 219, inflammare and restinguere. There is a run of such words in the description of civil chaos in 3.4-11; 4,faces and exardescere; 8,flagrare and arderé; and n,flamtna. From Orator compare 26^7 on the vis of Demosthenes: "post sensim incendens iudices, ut vidit ardentis, in reliquis exsultavit audacius ... facile est enim verbum aliquod ardens, ut ita dicam, notare, idque restinctis iam animorum incendiis inridere"; and 132, on Cicero's own emotional response: "nulla me ingeni sed magna vis animi inflatnmat, ut me ipse non teneam; nee unquam is qui audiret incenderetur nisi ardens ad eum perveniret orado." The examples of Van Hook, op. cit., p. 14 suggest that the application of fire imagery to style is very rare in Greek rhetoric, while Demetrius in his section on ôeivoTys praises Demosthenes with the imagery of close combat, 274, tyyWev irXriTTOvaiv 'éoiKtv (with which compare p. 156 below). Longinus comments on TO oiairvpov (12.3).

facetus of this aristocratic houseparty. This involves two related sections, 2.233-4 and 2.290. In introducing the wit Caesar Strabo to discuss the nature of humour and its place in oratory, Cicero permits himself an exchange of metaphorical fantasy, which is resumed as neatly at the end of his excursus. Strabo begins with an urbane allusion to the Greek-style subscription dinner quoniam conlectam a conviva ... exigís ... He then modestly deprecates himself by an adaptation of the proverb "sus Minervam docet" docebo sus, ut aiunt, oratoretn eum quern cum Catulus nuper audisset, fenum alias aiebat esse oportere, which is take up by Crassus, with a deft compliment to Catulus, cum ita dicat ipse, ut ambrosia alendus esse videatur. Antonius, in turn, coins the motif of the deversorium, the rich man's travelling lodge, to describe Strabo's excursus: defessus iam labore atque itinere disputationis meae requiescam in Caesaris sermone quasi in aliquo peropportuno deversorio. "Atqui," inquit Iulius, "non nimis libérale hospitium meum dices, nam te in viam simulac perpaulum gustaris, extrudam et eiciam." Antonius then is to content himself with a light meal; gustare, appropriate to the metaphorical context, coincides happily with the frequent use of the verb for drawing intellectual nourishment. When Strabo ends his discourse, the motif is resumed: (290) sed iam tu, Antoni, qui hoc deversorio sermonis mei libenter acquieturum te esse dixisti, tamquam in Pomptinum deverteris, ñeque amoenum ñeque salubrem locum, censeo ut satis diu te putes requiesse et iter reliquum conficere pergas. ego vero, atque hilare quidem a te acceptus. Thus the dialogue is again set in motion, and the image of the deversorium given a new and tactful twist by a Roman allusion; Antonius is to set out again after a brief pause, as if the lodge were in a malarial region; Strabo again combines implied modesty with courtesy in his reason for suggesting that his guest should now depart. But the Roman dress conceals a Greek motif. From Plato Politicus 2oya onwards, a digression within a work could be called é/crpoir^,16 Latin devertkulum (cf. Livy 9.17.2; Quint. 10.1.29, depulsa recta via necessario ad eloquendi quaedam deverticula confugiat); literally this was a side turning from the road (Ter. Eu. 635), or an inn. Deversorium does not have this metaphorical application, but from a fragment of Varro's Menippea 418 Buecheler (quoted by Nonius as from irepÎTTÂovs, book n irepl $(.Xcxroía,s), 16 Compare Van Hook, op. cit., p. 34.

iroppuBev Stl, áXX' ÍK rSiv avyyevâv (3.2.12), apparently making the same point as ne longe simile sit âuctum (de Oral. 163) in fact serves to introduce the topic of catachresis - the necessary metaphor of de Orat. 3.155-6. In 3.2.13, where Cicero has given the negative counsel fugienda est omnis turpitudo, Aristotle expresses his ideal positively: ras 5¿ /iera^opàs evTtWtv ounkov, âirà KO\Û>V r¡ rrj ifiwvfl rj TU ovvá/jiei r¡ TT¡ 6i//ei f¡ aXXjj TIVÏ aiadijati. (like Cicero, he gives priority to sight). Finally in 3.3.4 on TO \ffv\pov, Aristotle produces examples of tasteless simile which illustrate these prescriptions, and reflect the same standards as Cicero's briefer treatment of metaphor in de Orat. 3.162-5. But it is significant that Aristotle gives special attention to the simile after his comments on metaphor, whereas Cicero ignores it. This section of de Oratore is the most extensive treatment of figurative language in Cicero's rhetorical works, and allusions in the works of his later phase - Brutus, Orator, de Optimo Genere Oratorum - arefrustratinglyscanty. Speaking of the Atticist Orator, Cicero in Orator 81 recommends that he be "in transferendis verecundus et parcus" ... and 82: "hoc ornamento liberius paulo quam ceteris utitur hie summissus, nee tarn licenter tamen quam si genere dicendi uteretur amplissimo. itaque illud indecorum (TO ÔTrpeTrés!) hic quoque apparet, cum verbum aliquid altius transfertur, idque in oratione humili ponitur quod idem in altera deceret." But if the criticism of too lofty metaphor applies here only to the tenais orator of 81, the recommendation of verecundia is more general in, e.g., de Opt. Gen. 4: perficiendum est ... in translatis (verbis) ut similitudinem secuti verecunde utamur alienis. As in de Orat. 3.155, Cicero classifies figurative language as (Orator 92) translata ... quae per similitudinem ab alia re aut suavitatis aut inopiae causa transferuntur. Later in Orator 134, he recommends that translationes should be the most frequently used of all forms of singulorum verlorum ... lumina, "quod eae propter similitudinem transferunt ánimos et referunt ac movent hue et illuc, qui motus cogitationis celeriter agitatus per se délectât." Again, this recalls his psychological analysis of the pleasures of metaphor in de Orat. 3.159-61. But such comments neither add to, nor modify, the critical account of de Oratore, and one must regret its brevity. It is even more to be regretted that Cicero was limited by Crassus' official topic of metaphor in oratory, and prevented from discussing the far freer use of imagery in the genre in which he himself was writing - the work of literary and rhetorical criticism for the educated layman. For this genre, his principles can only be deduced from his practice, and this I have sought to do in chap. 6.

7 Some conclusions

In these studies it has been my aim to examine the role of imagery in Latin sermo and the formal prose-writing which developed from it. Terence's plays are the first body of evidence for a spoken Latin that was discriminating yet unaffected. Although he presents naturalistic rather than natural utterance and speech disciplined by art, metaphor, since it is primarily a figure of thought, will be less affected by the formalizing tendency of composed dialogue than pure "Klangfiguren," figures of diction. Yet a lover of paradox might delight in the fact that the first evidence for the style of Latin sermo is neither wholly Latin nor sermo, since it is in a verse form and adapted from Hellenistic drama by an author praised for his fidelity to the spirit and values of his Greek originals. So Terence's Latinity has to be seen as a reconciliation of good Latin speech in its quest for urbanitas, and the slightly over-ripe sophistication of third-century Athenian idiom. No aspect of language is quicker to offend against taste than metaphor; hence the insistence of Theophrastus, and Cicero following him, on verecunda tralatio (Fam. 16.17.1). Taste in both the sources and the application of imagery must have differed between the two civilizations. When Terence came upon an effective metaphor in Menander's Greek, how did he decide whether to translate, replace, or omit the figurative element in the knguage? Under the influence of Euripidean tragedy, of Platonic and then Peripatetic philosophy, the Attic playwrights had inherited a tradition of imagery drawn from certain aspects of Greek social life, primarily those of navigation and medicine. In Terence the proportion of medical and nautical metaphor is highest in the early Anana, relatively low in the last play, Adelphoe, yet simple metaphors relying on the basic concepts of these activities persist throughout his plays. Many other metaphors are demonstrably Greek in origin : In Adelphoe we can recognize analogies familiar from New Comedy in Micio's use of defervisse

REPUBLICAN LATIN IMAGERY

(Ad. 152) for the maturing of a young man like a new wine; the comparison is made formally in Alexis KH fr. 45. Micio's comparison of life to a game of dice (Ad. 739-41) is found in Alexis KH fr. 34 and before Alexis in Pkto. Demea's allusion to the home stretch in life's race (Ad. 860) has precedents in the same authors. All these metaphors presuppose the existence of a Hellenized urban class in Rome which would appreciate such analogies. Because of their way of life, Romans up to this time would have tended to draw imagery from agriculture, warfare, or the magistracies and rituals of the state. In Terence, agricultural metaphors are almost absent and allusions to Roman institutions are confined to the most obvious (cf. p. 77). Of the major categories of metaphor which I have distinguished - fire, heat and cold; sickness and cure; navigation and storm; imagery of combat; imagery from the drama, from teaching and training, and from hunting, fowling, and fishing - only the first group seems to be favoured in Latin, while rare in Greek, and this category is free of such "local colour" as would impair the presentation of a neutral, non-national bourgeois world to the audience. But in drama imagery should reflect characterization in terms of age, sex, and class; an important element in Terence's intrigues is provided by the parasites and slaves. Their roles account for other more colloquial figurative language. Vigorous metaphors come naturally and frequently to the uninhibited lower classes. Thus, particularly in Eunuchus and Phormio we find a greater abundance and variety of metaphor because of the many slave and parasite roles; in Eunuchus more is contributed by the hyperbolic idiom of young Chacrea. It is the deceptions and malice of slaves which chiefly give rise to the metaphors of hunting and attack. Yet there are more colourful idioms of deception in Plautus - detondere, oblinere, emungere, barely to be found in Terence; only emungere occurs once, at Ph. 862. In general, we saw (pp. 42, 77) that Terence in comparison with Plautus plays down animal metaphors, whether in description or abuse; Gnatho's ain vero, canis (Eu. 803 ) is quite exceptional, to express exceptional vulgarity. Terence also avoids the specific sociological or technical image comparing a character with a craftsman. But in contrast with Menander or Philemon he excluded the personification of abstractions (cf. pp. 16, 35, 37) by which poverty is called a disease, or time a healer. The typical ¿ÍKUV, a developed simile or analogy, is found only once in Terence (Ad. 739-41 above). Both Greek and Roman traditions of imagery, then, are to some extent muted by Terence, in his search for an idiom that is neutral in time and place, but expressive of individual psychology. Considerations of taste

combine with his psychological orientation to produce a usage that is restrained both in allusive content and form. Terence's success in achieving this harmony of style is confirmed by the recurrence of the same vocabulary and categories of imagery in Cicero's correspondence a century later. The metaphors of Terence's citizens are frequent in Cicero's letters and I have illustrated their occurrence and variations upon them from the correspondence. It is worth pointing out here the complement of this relationship, that only a tiny minority of metaphors found in Cicero's letters are of new types not represented in Terence's plays. In the Appendix to Part i, I attempted a different approach to Terence's practice. Given one common theme - love and the lover - by what metaphors did Terence express the condition? Again it was possible to compare his usage with both his Greek predecessors and the re-emergence of the tradition in Latin, in Catullus and Augustan elegy and lyric. Elegy, like comedy, was regarded as a genre less elevated in diction than tragedy or epic, and the same stylistic level is found in Horace's symposiastic or amatory lyrics. Catullan hendecasyllables are more down to earth, and Syrus' colloquial deperire (Han. 525) is echoed in Cat. 35.12; cf. 45.5. But Catullus in his elegiac love poems and Tibullus and Propertius provide a body of poetry whose systems of erotic imagery can be matched against the elements found in Terence, and which shares with him the strong emphasis on passion as fire or heat, and a relative indifference to the Hellenistic cliché of wounds from Cupid's bow. Fire, fever, sickness, madness, torture, and battle are used to depict the suffering lover from Phaedria to Propertius. Only in Ovid's self-conscious exploitation of the tradition for humour and paradox does elegy take imagery beyond the practice of comedy. The parallel Plautine material given in Part i showed how many metaphors were common to Pkutus and Terence, because they had the same task of blending Greek and Roman idiom, but also pointed to a freer treatment by Plautus of the inherited imagery. In chap. 4 an attempt has been made to isolate certain features of Plautus' exploitation of metaphor for humour and fantasy. His images give life to the inanimate, personalities and purposes to the impersonal, and physical violence to almost everything. His handling of metaphor takes it far beyond its prosaic function of making vivid or psychologically clear motives and actions. The images themselves become points of departure for imaginative word-flights which seldom return to earth. Syntactically too the metaphor in verbo simpliá based on a transferred verb or noun develops towards allegory in the accumulation of terms transferred from

the same field, or generates a cksh of words drawn from deliberately incongruous sources. One point of similarity - say a confused or twisted manner of speech - leads to complete identification of the speaker with a twisted creature, the caterpillar of Cist. 728-30. Hyperbole, mythology, and neologisms are drafted to reinforce the verbal onslaught, and in Plautus imagery performs as it never did on either the Greek stage of Menander, or the Roman street. The remaining sections are concerned with Cicero, and his use of figurative language at different levels of prose. Certain of his letters are distinguished from the body of his correspondence by their formality of diction and publicist intent. The letter to Lucceius (Fam. 5.12) and the great manual of provincial administration sent to Quintus (Qfr. i.i) reflect their preoccupation with a wider public in style and imagery. The self-vindication addressed to Lentulus Spinther (Fam. 1.9) was chosen to illustrate the role of imagery when sermo has to be reconciled with formal apologetics; comparison with pro Balbo, a contemporary speech dealing with technical problems of citizenship, showed that the genus tenue applied a similar range of metaphors. The need for clarity of explanation accounts for a relatively low frequency in this speech, and innovative development of imagery is confined to the patriotic passages recording the military achievements of Pompey (13 and 16) and the past heroism of the Scipiones (34). In post reditum in Senatu and ad Quirites, we have contemporaneous speeches on a common theme of gratitude for restoration and condemnation of Cicero's enemies. Only the audiences differ. The stylistic level of these, especially the speech ad Quirites, is achieved by other means as well as by imagery, by audible effects of alliteration, accumulation, and antithesis. But the coincidences of imagery (see pp. 122-3) are as interesting as the divergences, reflecting both political tact, and, in the ad Quirites, a conscious suppression of intellectual or aesthetic metaphors in favour of simple analogies from sickness (Red. Pop. 4) and the world of debt and credit (ibid., 23). The brevity of these speeches prevents any organization of metaphor for structural effects, beyond one interesting pattern of repetition observable in both: in Red. Sen. 9, consulare vulnus is deliberately recalled by consularis ictus in 17; the use of reportare in 28 is similarly recalled at 34 and 39. In the ad Quirites the repetition is more conspicuous; two phrases, me nudum a propinquis, nulla cognatione munitum, are repeated verbatim from 7 to 16. Pro Sestio has to cover many of the same themes, but the stylistic level is consistently the genus grande. Cicero was not only defending an ally on a capital charge that called for all the resources of emotive rhetoric, but he

converted the speech into a partisan record of Roman political life and a personal manifesto of principle. The scale of the speech gave scope for variations and elaborations of each class of image. Two formal analogies (24 and 45-6) stand out from the context of the speech in a thematic role: the first expressing the wanton destruction of the state by the Consuls of 58 B.C.; the second the noble self-sacrifice of Cicero for the boni. This prolonged shipanalogy (45-6) marks Cicero's moment of decision and gives it a special intensity. Other metaphors of aggression and navigation resume the themes of these analogies and help to associate Cicero's personal fate with that of his country. The difference in development in the high style can be measured by juxtaposing Red. Sen. 17: ne unam quidem horam intéresse paterere inter meam pestem et tuam praedam, and Sest. 54: ne noctem quidem cónsules inter meum{interitum) et suam praedam intéresse passi sunt; statim me perculso ad meum sanguinem hauriendum et spirante etiam re publica ad eius spolia detrahenda advolaverunt. At the same time the violence of the imagery reflects acts of violence in contemporary politics. While the main categories of allusion are familiar from Terence and the correspondence, two new elements are the imagery of pollution and darkness (pp. 133-4) and the architectural metaphors related to the imagery of siege-warfare and to the reality of demolition which Cicero had personally suffered. With de Oratore Cicero tackled what was virtually a new genre in Latin. The epideictic and protreptic content related it to the tradition of Greek philosophy with its use of didactic analogy, while the element of conversation related it to the more urbane dialogue in comedy, and in Cicero's conversational interludes, the imagery, like the general atmosphere of courtesy and restraint, recalls that of Terence's gentlemen. But the language of Cicero's interlocutors is carefully related to their interests and social concerns : Scaevola's great allegory of Rhetoric as an illegal occupier prosecuted by the other disciplines (1.41) and Caesar Strabo's jests about his contribution as a conlecta and a deversorium (2.233-4) are examples of socially appropriate imagery. Yet Cicero could take a traditional image of Greek theory, such as fontes for intellectual sources, supellex or ornatus for rhetorical adornment, or the complex of aesthetic values associated with the health and beauty of style, and

adapt them to provide brief metaphors or full analogies for his recommendations on inventio and elocutio, and in all of them display a double concern to respect the imagery of Greek theoreticians and the language of a Roman literary predecessor (as in the case of inhibere, at 1.153) while retaining the naturalism of dialogue. A dead or dying metaphor like cursus could be recalled to life by a discreet reinforcement of words or phrases from one of three contexts - the chariot race, the foot-race, or the voyage. Greek analogies are sometimes kept unchanged, elsewhere given a Roman colouring, as in the transference of palaestra images to military drill, or the illustration of beauty deriving from utility by the gable of the Capitoline temple (3.180). But Cicero shows a more positive attitude than Terence towards imagery with a distinct national colouring; his landowning aristocrats draw analogies from agriculture (pp. 145-6), and as wealthy connoisseurs are permitted allusions to the fine arts and specific Greek artists. The latter would have been inappropriate to the bourgeois world of Greek or Roman comedy, but is legitimate in characterization of these noblemen, and desirable as ornament and diversion from technical subject matter. Besides the constant use of imagery for local, decorative purposes, the two special developments are the thematic image (fontes, regio, ornatus, and their derivatives) and the structural image. Scaevola's trespass motif (1.41) is the challenge to oratory in book i which is finally answered by Crassus in 3.122 with a modification of the same analogy. The comparison between the orator ignorant of jurisprudence and the would-be pilot unable to handle a small boat marks Crassus' argument in 1.174, and Antonius' retort (1.237). Major images with variations define the beginning and end of Antonius' digression on imitatio and Greek oratory (2.88 and 97), his summing up of the Aristotelian Tópica (2.162 and 174), Caesar Strabo's digression (2.234-290), Crassus' alternative analysis oí inventio on Hermagorean principles (3.108 and no; 122), and his catalogue of figures of speech (3.200 and 206). Less conspicuously they help the resumption of argument after dialogue from 2.70 to 73, and 2.294 to 303. Two basic metaphors, that of the orator as combatant, and that of the speech as a body, run through the work and emphasize the role of the orator in the courts, and the physical aspect of oratory as a performance revealing health in action. Syntactically the large scale and formal genre of de Oratore allows imagery more freedom, and a given metaphor is not confined to the medium of a single verb or noun, but allowed to develop its logic through a sequence of words or phrases. It may be sustained through many paragraphs, as the

imagery of fire runs through the illustration of moveré from Antonius' great defence of Norbanus in 2.188-205, maintaining the didactic message parallel to the narrative without the tedium of formal commentary. Throughout this long and brilliantly orchestrated composition, metaphor and analogy are scored to promote the two aims of epideictic prose - to teach with clarity, and to delight with beauty. By their relationship with the argument and with each other the images contribute to the organization and unity of the whole work. In de Oratore Cicero has employed the highest level of artistry which he, and perhaps Latin prose of any period, could achieve, and the easy versatility with which he handles imagery is a fair illustration that Latin had reached the full powers of a mature and classical language.

Indexes

Latin or Greek words discussed for their figurative usage are listed in Index i (Latin) and n (Greek), including figurative technical terms of rhetoric. These and other technical terms are also listed in the subject Index iv, Topics and Terminology. In Index ra, Passages Quoted or Discussed, it has sometimes proved impossible to reconcile the alphabetical order of the abbreviated references used in my text with that of the full titles of works cited. I have sacrificed consistency of presentation where there is a conflict, listing references in the abbreviated form and the order it implies. In ordering references from Cicero, I have subdivided according to literary genre, listing the works in the alphabetical order of their abbreviations within five categories: i, Letters; n, Speeches; m, Rhetorical works; iv, Philosophical works; v, Poems. Thus the speech post Reditum ad Quirites is listed in n under Red. Pop.; De Officiis is listed in iv under Off. Citations from Donatus' commentary are listed with the reference to the Terence passage upon which Donatus is commenting, but in the order of page sequence in Wessner's Teubner Text, not the alphabetical order of Terence's plays: similarly Menander references follow the page sequence of Koerte's edition, not the alphabetical order of play titles.
