In Appendix E of The Undiscovered Country I suggest that Alderamin in the constellation Cepheus might be the star Bernardo refers to ("yond same star that's westward from the pole") in Act I, Scene I. The best evidence for that speculation is the passage below, from Marcus Manilius' first-century Astronomicon, a Latin astronomical/astrological discourse in verse that was rediscovered in the 1400s and published in various editions, including three important ones edited by Joseph Scaliger in 1579, 1590, and 1600. (Appendix E has more information on Scaliger.) This passage (from Book V, lines 449-485 in Goold's edition) describes the characteristics of people born with Cepheus rising. (Rising signs were/are believed to predict a person's outward character, distinct from their inner self, which is determined by their sun sign.) The section reads like it was written to describe Shakespeare.

Manilius is known for his Astronomica , a poem on astronomy and astrology , probably written between ad 14 and 27. The poem’s five books discuss such topics as the form and origin of the world, the four elements (earth, water, air, and fire), the place of the Earth in the universe, the zodiac , the constellations of the northern and southern skies, and the nature of the stars. Manilius also delves into the moral implications of astrology. He speaks of the power of the gods, humankind’s lack of free will, and the association of the signs of the zodiac with the constellations. The entire poem rests upon a firm conviction that there is a fixed order in the universe, which is overseen by a divine spirit in control of the fate of humankind. According to the poem, Heaven is the father of all people, and the Earth is a reflection of the heavenly world. Humankind, being without free will, can only question the stars as to its destiny. Manilius drew on many sources for the theories reflected in Astronomica . His chief sources for astronomy were Stoic philosopher Posidonius of Apamea and Greek poet Aratus, author of the

    Extractions: Home Your account Current issue Archives ... By G.F.C. Plowden , Reply by Bernard Knox In response to Closet Modern March 15, 1984 To the Editors In his review of Norman Page's life of A.E. Housman, Bernard Knox again discusses the oft-discussed question of Housman's choice of Manilius to edit. There should be no great puzzle: it was a task ready-made for his talents and ambitions. The Astronomica I see no difficulty in explaining his choice of Manilius, though it might have been difficult to explain any other choice. Surely also we ought to be grateful for it, for what other scholar could have accomplished what he did for a difficult and virtually unread Augustan text? Anybody who can should at least sample his edition, and may be surprised to find how interesting, even exhilarating it is. G.F.C. Plowden London, England Bernard Knox replies: The Regius Professor's footnotes are a welcome addition, especially his vision of Housman handing out grades for performance (though I must confess to a liking for Mr. Bell's time-table reading). I must defer to his judgment of Housman's work on the text of the Greek tragedians; as editor of the new Oxford Classical Text of Sophocles he must have given careful consideration to Housman's many suggestions in this area. I am, however, quite unconverted on the subject of Manilius. Rhetoric he has in abundance but the wit and elegance are in short supply. Housman remarked at one point on Manilius's "eminent aptitude for doing sums in verse, which is the brightest feature of his genius." Translated from the Latin and stripped of the verse a typical passage reads like this:

49. Star Lore Of The Constellations: Auriga The Charioteer
    manilius treats the figures as separate constellations, describing the Charioteer as a skilled, enthusiastic, and reckless driver, racing across the heavens  
    http://www.skyscript.co.uk/auriga.html
    
    Extractions: This strange mythological mix is very ancient and believed to be of Mesopotamian origin. Latin authors claim it represents the lame son of Vulcan and Minerva who invented the chariot as a means of transportation. The goat in his arms was described by Aratus as "the holy Goat which, as legend tells, gave the breast to Zeus". This is Amalthea, (also linked to the myth of Capricorn ), which not only nurtured Zeus but protected him through the aegis (literally 'goat-skin') that constituted his cloak and shield. Manilius treats the figures as separate constellations, describing the Charioteer as a skilled, enthusiastic, and reckless driver, racing across the heavens with his spirited team of horses. The main star of the group is in the body of the goat: the 1st magnitude white star Capella 'the Little She-Goat' which is the 6th brightest star in the sky. In classical times it was noted for its association with floods and storms. Pliny referred to its as 'the Rainy Goat-starre' whilst Aratus spoke of how the goat often saw men 'storm-tossed' at sea. Ptolemy reports all the bright stars of Auriga to be of the nature of Mars and Mercury, but it is possible that he was thinking only of the figure of the Charioteer, and did not intend this association to extend to Capella. Other authors claim that Capella is of the nature of Mercury and the Moon, which does seem more fitting to the traits described by its influence.

    Extractions: About the Digital Collection: History of Fathom Technical Information Home Browse the Archive ... Search by Keyword Astrology in Ancient Rome: Poetry, Prophecy and Power by David Wray y main focus will be on an ancient Roman long poem and a set of questions surrounding it. The poem is a didactic (instructional) work on astrology. Its title is Astronomica , and it was written in the first and second decades of the first century of our era by a poet named Marcus Manilius, of whose life we know nothing whatsoever. Greatly admired by such modern figures as Goethe and Leibniz, the Astronomica is a poem that literally almost no one reads today, not even specialists in Latin literature. There are several reasons for this, but certainly one reason lies in the nineteenth and twentieth century view of astrology as "pseudo-science" and an embarrassing blemish on the faces of our classical forebears, whose images were to be kept as shiny and clean as possible. There has been some good European scholarship on Manilius in recent years, especially by Italian scholars, but in English there is still no book-length study. Unknown as Manilius is, I suspect that many of you have heard his name recently, in the Tom Stoppard play

    http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2003/2003-01-26.html
    
    Extractions: Tractatus Coislinianus and the Ars grammatica of Diomedes may possibly derive from a Hellenistic source but concludes that the question has little bearing on the interpretation of the poets. Alexander Dalzell in his judicious book, The criticism of didactic poetry (1997), had come to much the same conclusion. It seems to me, however, that there is more to be said. Volk presents her own definition of didactic as extrapolated from the texts themselves, postulating four criteria: 1. 'Explicit didactic intent'. 2. The 'teacher-student constellation'. 3. 'Poetic self-consciousness'. 4. 'Poetic simultaneity': that is, the creation of a dramatic illusion of a lesson actually in progress as the poem progresses. It is here that misgivings about the book's approach set in. In the section on 'Didactic poetry as a genre' Volk glances briefly at poems which exhibit didactic features but do not properly qualify as didactic, notably the Ars poetica and the Fasti . These she classifies as texts 'in the didactic mode' (pp. 41-3), thereby introducing in passing a distinction which, when closely considered, calls in question indeed subverts the whole thrust of her enquiry. The suggestion that the didactic genre is 'derived' from the didactic 'mode' skates over a crucial point: subject-matter.

When A.E. Housman failed his final examinations at Oxford he went to London to work as a clerk in the Patent Office. After ten years of that, he was appointed, at the age of 33, to the chair of Latin at University College London. In his application for the job he very properly drew attention to his Oxford failure. Not, you might think, a glowing CV, especially as he couldn’t claim any teaching experience. Yet these manifest disadvantages failed to deter the electors to the chair. They had their own criteria of eminence and saw that Housman was already one of the few. He would, before very long, be called the greatest Latinist of his age, to be named in the same breath as Bentley and Porson and Housman’s famous German contemporary Wilamowitz-Moellendorff. He was usually quite modest about his claims: ‘I wish they would not compare me to Bentley . . . I will not tolerate comparison with Bentley. Bentley is alone and supreme.’ However, ‘they may compare me with Porson if they will.’ He was willing, that is, to be compared only with the runner-up for the title of greatest English classical scholar. Ordinary readers, even if they have a bit of Latin, can have little notion of what it means to know it well; those who, in their day, did know it well were ready to appoint a young man with a record of academic failure to the most influential Latin chair outside Oxford and Cambridge.

    Extractions: home index ancient Rome Appian of Alexandria 's Roman History Appian of Alexandria (c.95-c.165 ) is the author of a Roman History and one of the most underestimated of all Greek historians. Although only his books on the Roman Civil Wars survive in their entirety, large parts of other books have also come down to us. His account of the Punic Wars, which deals with the wars in Africa, is fortunately among these better preserved parts. The translation was made by Horace White; footnotes and additions in green by Jona Lendering. Carthage ( As these things were happening all the time, the fame of [Publius Cornelius] Scipio [Aemilianus] was on the increase, so that the other tribunes, out of envy, spread a report that there was an understanding between [Himilco] Phameas and Scipio, arising from the former friendship between the ancestors of Phameas and Scipio's grandfather [Publius Cornelius] Scipio [Africanus] Certain Africans had taken refuge in towers and castles, with which the country abounded, in pursuance of agreements made with the other tribunes, and the latter, after giving them this permission, had set upon them when they were going out; but Scipio always conducted them safely home. For this reason none of them would make any agreement unless Scipio were present. In this way his reputation for courage and good faith spread gradually among both friends and enemies. After the Romans had returned from their foraging the Carthaginians made a night attack on their fort by the sea, causing tremendous confusion, in which the citizens joined by making noises to add to the alarm.
