- Title
TIBULLUS AND EGYPT: A POSTCOLONIAL READING OF ELEGY 1.7.
- Authors
Bowditch, P. Lowell
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "Tribullus." It examines how the poem's opening lines includes quintessential image of a Roman triumph and illustrates discursive complexity. It investigates the poem's significant and politically charged relationship of Rome's acquisition of Egypt as a province. Furthermore, the author asserts that the poem develops a cameo description of patron Messalla Corvinus' triumph into a panoramic sweep of Rome's imperial reach.
