Document Details : Title: Knocking on Charon's Door Subtitle: Andrea Dazzi's Epigram for Julius II, and the Iulius exclusus Author(s): PONTANI, Filippomaria Journal: Humanistica Lovaniensia Volume: 68 Issue: 2 Date: 2019 Pages: 297-315 DOI: 10.2143/HLO.68.2.3292332 Abstract : A Greek epigram by Andrea Dazzi on the death of Pope Julius II looks like a satire in the fashion of Lucian, Aristophanes, and the Greek Anthology: the wording of this text brings to mind not only Pontano’s Charon and, more specifically, some popular polemical texts against Julius, but also Erasmus of Rotterdam’s dialogue Iulius exclusus e coelis, with which it shares some startling similarities. |
