About this book

In his civil war epic, the Roman poet Lucan draws extensively on his literary forbears. This study fills a gap in the research by going beyond the boundaries of language and genre to examine his reception of Greek literature, especially Attic tragedy and Hellenistic poetry. It reveals the importance of mythical and literary models, such as the Trojan War and the fratricidal war around Thebes, for Lucan’s epic formulation of the civil war theme.

Reviews

"A detailed and remarkably well documented introduction [...] excellent study [...] The entire volume is a treasure trove of bibliographical detail and mining the footnotes will provide many a detailed overview of intricate scholarly debates. A[mbühl]. roots her findings in secondary literature but always makes clear where she dissents or re-interprets. Her arguments are clear and convincing; this is a truly good book and should be required reading for anyone interested in the texture of post-Virgilian epic."
Martin T. Dinter in: Journal of Roman Studies vol 107, pp. 429-430
