New open-access piece from me, out today in Mnemosyne. Still riding on Timpanaro's coattails. I'm happy with this one.

Bold text reading: Ennius pinxit, or What a Difference a Letter Makes (Epigr. I V.). Smaller text reading: Jesse Hill | ORCID: 0000-0003-3253-5467 University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland jesse.hill@ed.ac.uk Received March 2024 | Accepted May 2024 | Published online 1 October 2025 A new paragraph reading: Abstract: This article argues that Ennius wrote pinxit not panxit in the pentameter of Epigr. 1 V. Along the way, it draws attention to Ennius’ love of metaphor and shows how, when we read the right verb, the imagery of his epigram becomes both coherent and meaningful.

Out this week, my paper on Timpanaro and Ennius, which argues: we NEED a new edition of the Annales; Timp has already laid that edition's foundation. Read it here: www.academia.edu/127898444/Ti...

Fittingly, I'm rn on Timp's home turf, lecturing in Pisa on Thurs (ecco io e il mio bambino a Lucca)
