Sinopsis

Latin poets and prose writers of the classical period and later used - and withheld - names subtly and to important effect. This book explores themes which include 'speaking' names, often involving bilingual Latin/Greek play; the ways in which persons and objects are named in contexts of invective or endearment; and more.
