Oxford Commentaries on Flavian Poetry: Statius: Achilleid
The Labors of Odysseus
The Alexandra of Lycophron
The obscurity of Lycophron's Alexandra was already notorious in antiquity and has long hampered a holistic approach to the poem. Through a series of distinct but closely integrated literary studies of major aspects of the work, including its style, its engagement with the traditions of epic and tragedy, and its treatment of heroism and of the gods, the book explores the way the Alexandra reconfigures Greek mythology, particularly as presented in …

While Vindex manifestly fits into the pattern of Romans who use Greek art to enhance their position and status, the two poets also use the statue to demonstrate their inheritance and control of the work of generic predecessors in order to…

Looking at the Forest? The Silvae and Roman Studies

Suc…
