Abstract

Fronto's fragmentary fable of the vine and the holly oak has been largely neglected by scholarship on Fronto and the Greco-Roman fable. This paper places the narrative in the tradition of ancient tree fables, explores the parallels in the rhetorical discourse (esp. Quintilian, Philostratus, Lucian), and highlights the debts to Callimachus and Horace. A better contextualization of the fable in the narrative conventions of its literary genre also enables the author to put forward a new reconstruction of the partly fragmentary text of the fable.
