Abstract
The following paper focuses on the ‘generic identity’ of Calpurnius Siculus' sixth eclogue; in particular the article examines the ways in which the Neronian poet manages to suggest his ‘generic novelty’, his willingness to expand on the previous pastoral tradition as well as his occasional tendency to perpetuate and further generate ‘generic tensions’ already operating in earlier bucolic poetry. Intertextuality thus appears to function as a major means that Calpurnius makes use of in order to bring out his ‘generic diversity’, for most of the intertexts display a ‘generic interaction’ between various literary genres, further adding to the ‘generic polyphony’ evidenced throughout the Calpurnian pastoral corpus.
Keywords:: Calpurnius Siculus; Vergil; Theocritus; pastoral; bucolic; ‘generic interaction’; intertext
