Silius' Hannibal seems to be clearly influenced by Lucan's Caesar (bur also by Virgil's Aeneas, often through antiphrasis). Through a close analysys of some passages of Silius, book 3 and 6, concerning Hannibals' visits to some temples (Gades, Liternum), ans showing intertextual relationship to Aeneas' katabasis in Aeneid 6, and Caesar's journey to Troy in Bellum Civile 9, this work demonstrates how Hanniba, as 'further voice',l fails both in his assimilation with Herakles and in his prefiguration of his poetic glory.File in questo prodotto:
