TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - "Totum est enim in eodem": The Minor Declamation 259 or the mixture of genres JO - MAIA-Rivista di Letterature Classiche A1 - Pingoud, J. SP - 118 EP - 128 VL - 70 IS - 1 N2 - Roman declaimers often use intertextuality to characterize a persona. This paper examines literary references in Minor Declamatio 259. The speech, defending an adulescens, echoes successively Virgil's Aeneid, Cicero's Divinatio in Caecilium, and comedy plots. Such a variety may be connected to the thema of declamation, which recalls ancient novel, a hybrid genre by definition. At the end of the speech, the young man appears as a suicidal lover: this performance brings him even closer to a novel protagonist. © 2018 Cappelli Editore. All rights reserved.
