Asyndeton Filling Hexameters

To contact us Click HERE
In Some Lines in Lucretius, I collected lines "in which the entire hexameter consists of nouns in asyndeton." I've since found a few more examples in other Latin poets. Some of the examples contain adjectives in asyndeton. I allow examples from elegaic verse, where the asyndeton is in the hexameter.

Horace, Ars Poetica 121:

impiger iracundus inexorabilis acer

Juvenal 3.76:

grammaticus rhetor geometres pictor aliptes

Damasus, Epigrams 18.5 (Anthologiae Latinae Supplementa, Vol. I, p. 25 Ihm):

seditio caedes bellum discordia lites

Id. 32.1 (p. 37 Ihm; the variant carnificis, if construed as genitive singular, would exclude this example; the first two words occur in an example from Lucretius, 3.1017):

verbera carnifices flammas tormenta catenas

Prudentius, Hamartigenia 395:

Ira Superstitio Maeror Discordia Luctus

Id. 397:

Livor Adulterium Dolus Obtrectatio Furtum

Id. 546:

mobile sollicitum velox agitabile acutum

Id. 761:

balnea propolas meritoria templa theatra

Prudentius, Psychomachia 229:

inportunus iners infelix degener amens

Id. 449:

fibula flammeolum strophium diadema monile

Id. 464:

Cura Famis Metus Anxietas Periuria Pallor

Id. 465:

Corruptela Dolus Commenta Insomnia Sordes

Orientius, Commonitorium 1.67:

aurum vestis odor pecudes libamina gemmae

Id. 1.261:

ora color sanguis venae cutis ossa capilli

Id. 2.97:

contemptum pluvias frigus ieiunia rixas

I exclude Horace, Epistles 1.1.38 (invidus iracundus iners vinosus amator) because it contains the noun amator alongside adjectives, even though those adjectives are used substantively.
