Ennius pinxit, or What a Difference a Letter Makes (Epigr. 1 V.)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article argues that Ennius wrote pinxit not panxit in the pentameter of Epigr . 1 V. Along the way, it draws attention to Ennius’ love of metaphor and shows how, when we read the right verb, the imagery of his epigram becomes both coherent and meaningful.
