Abstract:

The biography of Atticus by Cornelius Nepos, covering the last eight decades of the Republic and written at the precise moment of the establishment of monarchy by Octavian, ought always to have been treated both as one of the best introductions to the period, and as an exposition, from a unique angle, of some of the values expressed in Roman society. But now, more than ever, there may be a place for a brief essay which attempts to bring out both some values exhibited in this particular text and the way in which these were taken up, distorted, and deployed in the propaganda of the Augustan regime. For, first, the larger background of late-Republican scholarship, antiquarianism, historiography, and biography has been fully explored by Elizabeth Rawson; second, Joseph Geiger has argued for the originality of Nepos as a writer of political biography; third, we have a major study of the ethical models which it is the purpose of the biography to hold up for emulation. Finally, John North, in an important review-article on recent works on Roman religion, has identified three significant characteristics of late-Republican religiosity: a scholarly or antiquarian perception of religious change, often seen as decline; the identification of religion as the subject of a particular form of discourse; and a shift in focus within the sphere of religion, from the community as a whole to great men within it. All three come together, as we will see below, in the passage of Nepos' biography in which he records how, some time in the 30s B.C., Atticus suggested to Octavian that the now roofless temple of Juppiter Feretrius on the Capitol should be repaired.

Abstract:

In this note I wish to reopen discussion of the role of Cornelius Nepos in Catullus' dedicatory poem. The Callimachean features of Catullus' assessment of his own work have been well documented. However I believe that, since this is a poem where Catullus evaluates not only his own work, but also that of Nepos, a closer examination of the latter is called for.

Abstract:

This paper begins in the year 1569, when a hefty commentary on the Lives of Cornelius Nepos was published in Paris by one of the Royal Professors, Denys Lambin (known to classicists as Lambinus). The event intrigued me for two reasons. Firstly because, in France at that time, history was not a proper subject for professors. A professor could deal in Greek and Latin poetry, in oratory, philosophy, maths or Hebrew, or of course in the degree subjects theology, medicine and law; but history, including ancient history, was mostly a popular interest among the cultured ruling class, who preferred to read it in elegant vernacular versions, like Amyot's Diodorus and Plutarch, not in the dusty didactic form of text and commentary. So why did a professor, famous for his work on poetry and philosophy, suddenly devote himself to Nepos? The second puzzle was that, within weeks of publishing this commentary, Lambinus was violently attacked for it, and came close to losing both his job and his life. How, I wondered, could commenting on Nepos so seriously endanger the health?

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-158).
In writing a biography on Themistocles, Nepos consulted Greek sources, mainly consulted Thucydides. Nepos often paraphrases and quotes Thucydides, while also expressing his opinion on the death of Themistocles. When he departs from Thucydides' account, he uses Ephorus. The other extant, ancient sources on Themistocles are predominantly Greek, namely Plutarch, Herodotus, and Diodorus. Justin's Latin epitome of Trogus also covers this period.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that Cornelius Nepos’ depiction of tyrants in De Excellentibus Ducibus Exterarum Gentium primarily reflects the concerns not of his Greek sources but of Triumviral Rome. Since Geiger’s seminal monograph, Cornelius Nepos and Ancient Political Biography, was published in 1985, there has been renewed scholarly interest in Nepos’ so-called Foreign Generals. While Nepos’ depiction of despots in this book of biographies has often been noted, discussion focuses almost exclusively on the figures of the righteous general and the duplicitous tyrant. In this thesis, I contend that not all of Nepos’ tyrants are cruel cardboard cut outs, destined to be vanquished by virtuous generals. Indeed, I explore the complexities which arise when the lines between statesman and sole ruler become blurred, when the general becomes the tyrant. In a series of three case studies, I demonstrate that Nepos uses such leaders to articulate the perils and merits of autocracy at a time when Rome was shifting ever closer to sole rule. In my first chapter, I compare Life of Miltiades and Life of Timoleon in order to ascertain the circumstances under which Nepos believed a democratic community could flourish under a single leader. I begin by delineating Nepos’ model of admirable sole rule: a kind of elective kingship that furnishes Miltiades and Timoleon with sufficient power to rule alongside, but not over, their respective communities. I then establish that Nepos uses the Triumviral conceptualisation of dominatio and libertas to emphasise that this model will only succeed in the hands of a Timoleon, a leader who would sooner relinquish all authority than see the people’s freedom limited. My second chapter accounts for Nepos’ deviation from traditional tales of tyrannicide in Life of Dion. Through an examination of the parallels between this biography and representations of the assassination of Julius Caesar, I demonstrate that Nepos perceived tyrannicide as a murky, morally ambiguous deed, the ramifications of which far outweigh any possible benefits. In my third chapter, I analyse the manner in which Nepos blends Greek descriptions of Alcibiades with Latin depictions of divisive leaders in Life of Alcibiades, in order to question how the populace should respond to a magistrate they suspect is aiming at tyranny. I argue that Nepos’ decision not to provide a definitive answer reflects his own deep-seated uncertainty about the future of Rome under the Triumvirs. Through these three case studies, I demonstrate that Nepos has a consistent vision of the successes and shortcomings of sole rule. His vision, though drawn from Greek sources and articulated in his biographies of Greek generals, primarily reflects Roman concerns about the exercise of absolute power. This thesis thus sheds new light on Nepos’ biographical method and provides new insights into the conceptualisation of tyranny under the Triumvirs.

Abstract:

A pesquisa analisa a construção do êthos do general cartaginês Aníbal nas obras de Cornélio Nepos e Tito Lívio, tendo em vista procedimentos retóricos. A primeira parte da pesquisa consiste no estudo do gênero historiográfico antigo, e sua relação com a Retórica, e ainda o estudo dos conceitos de êthos, écfrase e enárgeia. Analisamos então as estratégias discursivas de Tito Lívio para compor um caráter do inimigo adequado ao seu projeto historiográfico. Na segunda parte, discutimos os limites entre a bíos e história, e analisamos o êthos de Aníbal construído por Cornélio Nepos, o que permite discutir também as diferenças entre os gêneros, e outras questões gerais da obra do biógrafo.
The research analyzes the construction of Hannibal\'s êthos in the works of Cornelius Nepos and Livy, considering rhetorical strategies. The first part is a study of ancient historiographical genre, and its relation to Rhetoric, and also of the concepts of êthos, ékphrasis and enárgeia. Then, we reflect about the discursive strategies used by Livy to compose a character convenient to his historiographical project. In the second part, we discuss the boundaries between bíos and history and analyze the êthos of Hannibal built by Cornelius Nepos, what also allows us to discuss the differences between these genres and other general issues of Nepos\' lives.
