Opis

Ovid's Homer examines the Latin poet's engagement with the Homeric poems throughout his career. Boyd offers detailed analysis of Ovid's reading and reinterpretation of a range of Homeric episodes and characters from both poems, and demonstrates the pervasive presence of Homer in Ovid's work.

Recenzje

The subtlety and complexity of Boyd's arguments must be read in their entirety for complete appreciation of this important work. The monograph is erudite, yet eminently readable.
