Within the framework of Late Latin intertextuality, this article examines five passages from Dracontius’ De laudibus Dei (1,337-342; 1,591-597; 1,44-81; 2,82-87; 2,292-300) in light of their intertextual relationship with several passages from Lucan’s Pharsalia. By appropriating Lucanian linguistic and figurative elements, Dracontius frequently recontextualizes them within markedly antithetical settings, perhaps in order to produce a defamiliarizing effect in readers able to recognize the hypotext.

Within the framework of Late Latin intertextuality, this article examines five passages from Dracontius’ De laudibus Dei (1,337-342; 1,591-597; 1,44-81; 2,82-87; 2,292-300) in light of their intertextual relationship with several passages from Lucan’s Pharsalia. By appropriating Lucanian linguistic and figurative elements, Dracontius frequently recontextualizes them within markedly antithetical settings, perhaps in order to produce a defamiliarizing effect in readers able to recognize the hypotext.
