In response to critics who charged him with plagiarism, Virgil is
said to have responded that it was easier to steal Hercules' club
than a line from Homer. This was to deny the allegations by
implying that Virgil was no plagiarist at all, but an author who
had done the hard work of making Homer's material his own. Several
other texts and passages in Latin literature provide further
evidence for accusations and denials of plagiarism. Plagiarism in
Latin Literature explores important questions such as, how do Roman
writers and speakers define the practice? And how do the
accusations and denials function? Scott McGill moves between varied
sources, including Terence, Martial, Seneca the Elder and
Macrobius' Virgil criticism to explore these questions. In the
process, he offers new insights into the history of plagiarism and
related issues, including Roman notions of literary property,
authorship and textual reuse.
