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.
