Abstract

The article points out that in the final lines of Vergil’s tenth Eclogue, the insistence on the term umbra could be explained by the Mantuan poet’s intention to allude to the contemporary bellum Perusinum, the conflict that led to Lucius Antony’s surrender through starvation and the destruction of Perugia. Some possible puns seem to support this hypothesis.

维吉尔《牧歌》结尾中佩鲁西姆战争的阴影

文章指出，在维吉尔的第十首牧歌的最后几行中，对“本影”一词的坚持可以解释为曼图亚诗人有意暗指当代的Perusinum，这场冲突导致卢修斯·安东尼因饥饿而投降，并摧毁了佩鲁贾。一些可能的双关语似乎支持这一假设。

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
