| Popis: |
In this article the declamatory themes, both Greek and Latin, concerning cases of poisoning are listed and classified. The classification is based on narratological criteria: themes are considered as narrative microtexts and categorized according to the characters recurring in such micro - stories. Also relevant for classification are some morphological structures (“morphemes”), which are repeated and combined in both Greek and Latin declamatory themes. Bilingual themes show a common imagery, also shared by the most “realistic” genres of literary tradition (such as the novel and historiography): so declamatory themes can be seen as embryonic narrative texts, whose accomplished form is often documented within Imperial - age literature. Regarding “monolingual” themes (solely documented in either of the two languages), the relationship with the law shows some difference: on the Latin side, where a direct comparison with juridical texts is possible, remarkable similarities appear between declamatory themes and legal cases. Also juridical texts can be considered a micro-narrative form, since they share with declamatory themes not only logical schemes, but also narrative structure. |
