Antonio Ramírez de Verger: Book VI of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. A Textual Commentary
Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Traditions of Augustan Poetry
They Keep It All Hid: Augustan Poetry, Its Antecedents and Reception
The Epilogue to the Aetia
Incorporating the Epilogue into a new edition of the Aetia would create chronological inconsistency if the Iambi were mentioned as a forthcoming work when, in fact, they had already appeared. The displacement of the original Epilogue of the Aetia to the end of the revised work was merely an easy and necessary adjustment made by Callimachus once he had decided to reissue the poem in an expanded version. As soon as one discounts the possibility tha…
The Literary House of Mr. Octavius Quartio
In the most prominent areas of the House of Octavius Quartio, the owner exhibited his interests in Greek and Roman literature and deployed poetic themes according to generic distinctions. The walls of the triclinium are decorated with a double frieze, depicting the life of Hercules and scenes from the Iliad. This choice of serious epic themes is consistent with other Pompeian homes. More uniquely, the garden on which this room opens displays scen…

The Poet and the Second Prince: Ovid in the Age of Tiberius
Allusion et fiction epistolaire dans les Heroides: Recherches sur L'intertextualite ovidienne
The Heroides: Elegiac Voices
The Heroides have been Ovid's most influential work from antiquity until very recent times. The originality of the Heroides consists primarily in the combination of features from other literary forms, and in this respect they may represent the most interesting example in Roman poetry of innovation in genre. The finished product is a fascinating portrait of the lyric poet in elegiac mode, but the effect is very different from the other poems in th…

Ovid: "Heroides": Select Epistles
Ovid: Heroides
Ovid's Heroides, a collection of twenty-one epistles in elegiac verse, consists of two groups, the first comprising fourteen poems addressed by heroines of mythology to their absent lovers or husbands. In this edition, Professor Knox offers a commentary on seven of these epistles, addressing problems of language and style, and focusing on the relationship of the Heroides to the classic works of Greek and Roman literature on which Ovid bases his r…
Martial: The Unexpected Classic
This is the first full-length study in English of the Roman poet Martial's life, poetry and politics, as well as of the survival of his fifteen books of epigrams and short poems from his death around AD 104 to the present. The subjects examined include his defence of epigram as an art form, his misogyny and obscenity, his style, wit and humour, and, not least, his imperial propaganda. The concluding part of the work examines his high reputation i…
Scylla's Nurse
Manilius 1.88
Manilius begins his first book with a brief summary of the early history of astronomy, leading to a sketch of the rise of civilization. In the following passage, printed as it is found in one of the principal manuscripts M , he describes the invention of language, agriculture and navigation: 1.85 tune et lingua suas accepit barbara leges, et fera diuersis exercita frugibus arua, et uagus in caecum penetrauit nauita pontum, fecit et ignotis inter …
Ruit Oceano Nox
Night falls on war-weary Troy after a day of celebration, setting the stage for the final agony of the city: uertitur interea caelum et ruit Oceano nox inuoluens umbra magna terramque polumque Myrmidonumque dolos (Virg. Aen . 2.250–2)

The Poet and the Second Prince: Ovid in the Age of Tiberius
Phaethon in Ovid and Nonnus
Among the artifacts produced by nineteenth-century Quellenforschung , few have exerted more influence or endured more censure than the lost Hellenistic epyllion which, as reconstructed by G. Knaack, told of the journey of Phaethon to the palace of the sun-god and his disastrous ride in the solar car. Relying chiefly upon the two versions of the story told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses (1.747–2.398) and Nonnus in the Dionysiaca (38.105–434), and ap…
