Latin poets and prose writers of the classical period and later
used - and withheld - names subtly and to important effect. Here,
in eleven new essays, an eminent international cast explore 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; the significant suppression
or changing of names; the religious and historical significances of
names; the uses of names in literary catalogues; names as devices
to structure a group of shorter poems.
