      ab: The article focuses on the figures of antiquity with reference to the book "Memoirs." For "Memoirs," classical antiquity is represented by a variety of figures, drawn from the discourse of what one calls myth as well as from that which one calls history. While the deployment of its figures might be accounted for in diverse ways, suggestions that the complexity of the textual operations entails a simple model of tradition or influence which cannot offer an adequate account. The quest for models of republican politics gave classical antiquity an unprecedented bold on the political discourse of the revolutionary period. "Memoirs," constitutes a political autobiography, and could not be produced in the late eighteenth century without repeated and dense invocation of antiquity.
