- Authors
Leite, Leni Ribeiro; da Silva, Camilla Ferreira Paulino
- Abstract
In this paper, the construction of the character of Cleopatra and of the representation of Egypt in Lucan's De Bello Ciuili is analyzed, taking as its background the representation of the same character in previous works of Latin literature and the epic genre in its different paths within Latin literature. In order to do so, the paper focus on Book 10 of the epic poem, in which allusions to Cleopatra and Egypt are found; the role of those allusions in the composition of the representation of the Egyptian queen and their function in the construction of the poem are discussed.
