by Mary Pendergraft, Wake Forest University We can quickly sketch the outlines of the history of ancient astrology. Its beginnings are Babylonian, but the complex and sophisticated form in which it came to Rome largely grew out that Babylonian data in the Greek-speaking cities of the Hellenistic era, and particularly in Egypt. References to astrological ideas appear in Rome by the time of Cicero, for instance, who dismisses it in De Divinatione ; Horace of course, before he tells Leuconoe carpe diem , tells her not to bother with Babylonios numeros . At the same time, though, a senator like Nigidius Figulus could cast horoscopes; Varro apparently was interested in this skill and his lost de astronomia may have included astrology as well as what we would call astronomy. And Stoicism provided a philosophical basis for accepting the truth of astrology's claims, with its understanding that the universe is orderly and rational, its parts held together by divine logos ; this logos is manifest as creative fire, clearly the constituent of the heavenly bodies but also present in the human soul. The Stoic divinity is well-disposed to humankind and thus willing to reveal the orderly working of the cosmos , particularly, as Manilius urges, through our understanding of how the stars influence terrestrial life.

The Astronomica of Manilius is a five-book Stoic didactic poem on astrology which is usually believed to have been composed between c. A.D. 9-16, under Augustus and Tiberius. The poem offers great opportunity for diverse scholarly study, in terms of its genre and intertextuality, its philosophical, intellectual and socio-political background; and yet, but for a few notable exceptions, the poem has been largely ignored, especially by Anglophone scholars, whose silence would suggest compliance with the old-fashioned view that the Astronomica is too difficult to read and digest and/ or full of contradictions and astrological errors and omissions.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.01.26 Katharina Volk, The Poetics of Latin Didactic. Lucretius, Vergil, Ovid, Manilius Reviewed by E.J. Kenney, Peterhouse, Cambridge Word count: 1747 words This book has two aims, lucidly summarized in the Conclusion: to attempt to define didactic poetry as understood by the ancients, and to apply the results of that enquiry to the interpretation of the four chosen poets. 'Crucially, these have been complementary: the study of the individual authors has both confirmed and added to the picture of didactic poetry as a genre, and the knowledge of generic conventions has helped the interpretation of the single poems and thrown light on hitherto unnoticed or ill-understood features' (p. 246). To most students of Latin poetry the first of these investigations will probably be of limited interest in any case; but the premisses of Volk's enquiry seem to me to require scrutiny. The debate about the pretensions of 'didactic' to be regarded as a real genre is an old one. To judge from the general silence of the ancient authorities, it did not qualify. In so far as it was pigeonholed at all, it was under the label of (p. 291). Volk argues cautiously

Marcus Manilius aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation Suche Marcus Manilius 1. Jahrhundert ) war ein römischer Dichter, Astrologe und Autor eines Gedichts in fünf Büchern, genannt Astronomica oder Astronomicon libri V Er wird als Person von den antiken Schriftstellern nie erwähnt oder zitiert, selbst sein Name hat lediglich eine gewisse Wahrscheinlichkeit; in den älteren Büchern ist der Autor anonym, die späteren geben Manilius, Manlius und Mallius an. Das Gedicht lässt zudem vermuten, dass der Autor zur Zeit der Kaiser Augustus oder Tiberius lebte und ein Bürger und Einwohner Roms war. Richard Bentley hält ihn für einen kleinasiatischen Griechen , F. Jacob für einen nordafrikanischen. Sein Werk weist ihn als von großer Belesenheit aus, er hat sein Thema bei den besten Autoren studiert und repräsentiert zur Astronomie (oder eher Astrologie) die seinerzeit aktuelle Sichtweise der Zeit. Manilius imitiert häufig seinen Vorgänger in der Lehrdichtung Lucretius , dem er in Ernsthaftigkeit, Originalität und der Kraft, seinem trockenen Thema eine lebendige Wirkung zu verleihen, ähnelt. Obwohl seine Diktion einige Eigenheiten enthält, ist sein Stil metrisch korrekt. Firmicus Maternus , der zur Zeit des Kaisers Konstantin I.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.11.21 Claudia Schindler, Reviewed by Katharina Volk, Bucknell University (kvolk@bucknell.edu) Word count: 1174 words De rerum natura , Vergil's Georgics , and Manilius' Astronomica (following Bernd Effe, S. does not regard Ovid's Ars amatoria as purely didactic, cf. p.12 n.10). S. treats each of these works in an individual chapter (Chs. 4-6), after first surveying earlier scholarly literature and defining her approach (Ch. 1), discussing terminology and giving her own definition of what a "simile" is (Ch. 2), and briefly examining the use of similes in Greek didactic poetry from Hesiod to Nicander (Ch. 3). The book concludes with a brief summary of the author's results (Ch. 7); it also contains an appendix with a comprehensive list of the similes in the three works treated. While S. does raise some broader questions about didactic similes (such as those mentioned in my first paragraph), the bulk of her book is devoted to close readings of individual similes in the three selected works rather than to the development of a thesis concerning the use of similes in didactic poetry in general (compare also S.'s cautious title "Untersuchungen"). This is certainly a wise choice: since, as the author observes in her conclusion (p. 276), even the three poets she examines use similes in markedly different ways, it is hardly possible to come up with a unified theory of the didactic simile. In fact, it is exactly on those few occasions when S. turns to (wary) generalization that her arguments are most open to objection. Thus, her claim (introduced suddenly at the very end of the Vergil chapter) that the use of similes in the

Occasionally, especially in the introductions and digressions, we discern both power of language and elevation of thought, but for the most part the attempts to embellish the dull details of his art are violent and ungraceful, affording a most remarkable contrast to the majesty with which Lucretius from his taste we must do justice to his learning. He seems to have consulted the best authorities, and to have adopted their most sagacious views. Blunders have, indeed, been detected here and there, in the statements regarding the relative position of the constellations, but some of the opinions which he advocates on sidereal astronomy are anticipations of the brightest discoveries of modern times. Thus, not only is the popular belief that the fixed stars were all arranged on the surface of a concave vault, at equal distances from the centre of the earth, unhesitatingly rejected, but it is affirmed that they are of the same nature with the sun, and that each belongs to a separate system. The appearance exhibited by the milky way is in like manner correctly explained as arising

Demolition Derby A.E. Housman is best known as the author of The Shropshire Lad , a book of melancholy poems. He is also, however, one of the greatest masters of the putdown in the English language (and a great comic poet; for an acerbic comment on the laws against hosexuality see O who is that young sinner , and for an entirely new and uncollected piece see The Toad Poem Housman made his living as a classical scholar , studying really, really boring classical nonenties. He wrote to Robert Bridges, for example, to say of his own life's work My dear Bridges, I adjure you not to waste your time on Manilius. He writes on astronomy and astrology without knowing either. My interest in him is purely technical. He got whatever satisfactions that classical scholarship accorded by means of wiping the clocks of his rivals in the field as thoroughly as they could conceivably be wiped. The piece given here also contains an analysis of professional stupidity in general that should bring a lift to the heart of any genuine skeptic. Don't be put off by the fact that neither you nor I have the smallest interest in the textual emendations he discusses; read on, bleep over the Latin and the Greek (which I can't include anyway) and enjoy his withering demolition of people who must have simple rules even when no simple rules exist. "But that is what the incompetent intruders into criticism can never admit. They
