HOMER AND VIRGIL IN MACROBIUS’ SATURNALIA: A LITERARY AGÓN

The purpose of the present paper is to analyze this macrobian operation in order to establish which of the two poets gets the first place in this friendly agón. Though the starting point seems to be the valuation of the literary skills of each contestant, the competence is solved appealing to the practice of imitatio, a main virtue in Late Antiquity and in Macrobius work. Macrobio dedicó especialmente uno de sus textos, Saturnalia (s. V d. C.) a la discusión de la obra y la persona de Virgilio –considerado tanto autoridad poética como filosófica y religiosa— aplicando como estrategia la comparación con la otra gran auctoritas de la Antigüedad: Homero. Si bien el punto de partida es la valoración de las habilidades literarias, la competencia se dirime finalmente apelando al plano de la moral y del respeto por la tradición, ambos contemplados en la práctica de la imitatio, fundamental en la Antigüedad Tardía y en particular en la obra macrobiana.
