The article deals with Livy’s report of Philip of Macedon’s climbing of Mt. Haemus (XL 21-22). The episode is a complete failure, from both a strategic-military and a familiar point of view. The analysis of language and style and certain narratological observations show how the description of the mountain and the narration of the climbing cooperate in the construction of this failure.

The article deals with Livy’s report of Philip of Macedon’s climbing of Mt. Haemus (XL 21-22). The episode is a complete failure, from both a strategic-military and a familiar point of view. The analysis of language and style and certain narratological observations show how the description of the mountain and the narration of the climbing cooperate in the construction of this failure.File in questo prodotto:
