The Introduction has three aims. First, it offers a new interpretation of the Seikilos epitaph, one of the most important musical documents from the ancient world. The chapter shows that we can use the Seikilos epitaph as a model for reading carpe diem . Second, the Introduction offers a short history of the carpe diem motif from Homer to late antiquity, analysing its key features and function. Third, the Introduction lays out the methodological framework of the thesis: it is argued that close analysis of the carpe diem motif can advance our understanding of presence, performance, and textuality. These themes have been central to literary studies in Classics and beyond.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This introduction argues that the ancient carpe diem motif—defined as insight into human mortality plus an admonition to present enjoyment—is central to understanding how poetry evokes presence, performance, and textuality. Using the Seikilos epitaph as a model, it previews a thematic study of Greek and Latin lyric, epigram, Horace, objects, and later receptions.
Key findings
- Defines carpe diem as a combination of insight into human mortality and an admonition to present enjoyment; the prescription can be implicit, and mortality can be implied by references to old age or grievous cares.
- Reads the Seikilos epitaph (second century AD, Tralleis) as both song and stone: its notation marks the central section as performed song, evoking symposium enjoyment and its loss; text and notation together convey carpe diem and a silent requiem for it.
- Argues the motif belongs to banquet poetry, especially lyric and epigram, not philosophy; Epicureans such as Lucretius and Philodemus explicitly disassociate carpe diem from true Epicureanism, while Horace makes carpe diem central to his lyric.
- The book’s period runs from Alexander the Great to Juvenal; Chapter 4 analyses epigrams and objects between 100 BC and AD 100, and Chapter 5 examines carpe diem passages within longer texts and their reception.
Methods
- Thematic, non-chronological literary and cultural analysis of Greek and Latin texts and material objects, combining philology, epigraphy, art history, music, ancient linguistics, and critical theory.
- Case studies include the Seikilos epitaph, archaic lyric (Alcaeus, Mimnermus, Theognis, Anacreon), Hellenistic epigrams, Horace, Catullus, Martial, Petronius, Seneca, and later receptions.
- Analyses how texts evoke presence through performance, notation, address, tense, and objects, drawing on Austin’s performative utterances, Culler, Gumbrecht, Lowrie, and Barchiesi.
Limitations
- The text states that the selection of material is necessarily selective, not every occurrence of the carpe diem motif in the ancient world will be discussed, and there is no space for a comprehensive interpretation of popular carpe diem songs.
- It also states that the term carpe diem is anachronistic for archaic Greek poetry and strongly associated with Horace, risking a search for the most “Horatian” forms; dating many inscriptions precisely is difficult.
- Evident from the text: this is an introduction/prospectus, so many claims are programmatic and detailed evidence appears in later chapters; some arguments, such as the programmatic status of Archestratus fr. 60 or Seikilos as a professional musician, are presented as possible or speculative.

“Thus, Catullus wrote a carpe diem poem that contrasts individual human life with the cycle of nature: 'The Sunne may set and rise, but we contrariwise sleepe after our short light one everlasting night.' 71”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
