Abstract

When describing Pompey’s corpse on the Egyptian shore (Phars, VIII, 843-845), Lucan resorts to a comprehensible Virgilian precedent: Priam, whose destiny mirrors that of the Roman leader. However, there is another character from the Aeneid alluded in these lines through an elaborated intertextual connection, which affects the lexical, syntactical, and semantic levels: Dido. The intertextuality depends on four shared elements: the internalization technique in both character’s composition, the primeval founding shortcomings of their cities, the lack of progeny (or the loss of the younger generation) and the opening towards history
