description Flaubert’s use of documents, including ancient ones, is not merely utilitarian, but the style of these works have influenced Flaubert’s writing of Salammbô. An examination of some examples, drawn mainly from the Metamorphoses or the Bible, should shed some light on Flaubert’s approach to style, especially the punctuation of hypotexts. Salammbo’s prayer helps to at least partially clarify this approach. The Metamorphoses contain, in fact, a model of a prayer of classical antiquity. Flaubert would have followed the same pattern that uses the “twists” and the resources of the prayer’s classical rhetoric. The Bible-phrases present both in the draft and the final text, also give some gravity to the speeches of characters in Salammbô and serve to anchor the novel in the Semites’ geographical, cultural and religious continuity.
