Recenzje

Philosophy in Ovid, Ovid as Philosopher successfully demonstrates that readers can find a great deal more engagement with philosophy in the works of an author who has usually been written off as excessively ludic and rhetorically flashy, and I take this as a positive sign for future directions in Ovidian scholarship... Offer Ovidian scholarship (and Latin literary studies more broadly) a potential pathway out of the inescapable labyrinth of hunting for intertexts as mere Hellenistic games.
