This major study provides a comprehensive treatment of the ways in which Ovid creates and simultaneously deflates various kinds of illusion in his poetry, touching on his entire output, from the Amores to the exile poetry. It includes substantial discussions of Ovid's reception in western literature and art.
This book is a critically sophisticated introduction to the epic tradition of the early Roman empire, specifically the epic poems of Ovid, Lucan, Statius, Valerius Flaccus, and Silius Italicus. It explores the use that they all make of the great Augustan epic of Virgil, the Aeneid. All Latin is translated.
