Perversa funera pompa Retulit a tumulis: fugere cadavera letum.

"The funeral procession reversed, she returned the dead from the tomb, bodies fleeing death."

Another side of Lucan…

“Contigeris regina meos si Polla libellos, Non tetrica nostros excipe fronte iocos. Ille tuus vates, Heliconis gloria nostri, Pieria caneret cum fera bella tuba, Non tamen erubuit lascivo dicere versu ‘Si nec pedicor, Cotta, quid hic facio?’”

—

“Polla, Queen, If you will have taken up my little books, receive my jests not with a severe brow. Your husband, the poet Lucan, glory of our Helicon, when he was singing savage wars with a trumpet belonging to the Muses, he was nevertheless not embarrassed to speak in frolicsome verse: ‘If I am not going to be fucked, Cotta, what am I doing here?’”

– Martial 10.64

Telemachus' Misogyny

Telemachus' response to his mother in the Odyssey at 1.345-359 is a perfect example of the social replicating mechanism inherent to toxic masculinity. It is Telemachus' first assertion of his masculinity, however it is before his educational journey begins. At that moment in the text, his only masculine example in the house has been the suitors. Telemachus' response to his mother is thus a product of their daily performances of masculinity. In Telemachus' ignorance he targets his mother, a vulnerable member of the household and one of his few allies. Telemachus' response is thus self-harming and it is in keeping with the behavior of the suitors and their power over women. However, Telemachus' response is not a deliberate act of misogyny because he does not yet know what a non-toxic form of masculinity is, that is the purpose of his future education in which he will experience other presentations of masculinty.
