Among the poetic models of Lucan, the Liber of Catullus must be fully inserted. Below we take examples from various Catullian poems as possible models of the Lucan’s Bellum Civile, which seems to resume not only their formal structures, but also the whole context that contains them, although subjected to variation and rewriting. The recovery, therefore, is not limited to the use of common expressions of poetic language, but extends to their conceptual value and to their connection with very specific topics.

Abstract
Among the poetic models of Lucan, the Liber of Catullus must be fully inserted. Below we take examples from various Catullian poems as possible models of the Lucan’s Bellum Civile, which seems to resume not only their formal structures, but also the whole context that contains them, although subjected to variation and rewriting. The recovery, therefore, is not limited to the use of common expressions of poetic language, but extends to their conceptual value and to their connection with very specific topics.File in questo prodotto:
