In Book XIV of the Metamorphoses Ovid takes his epic for the first
time into Italy and continues from book XIII his close intertextual
engagement with Virgil's Aeneid. His tendentious treatment of his
model subordinates Virgil's epic plot to fantastic tales of
metamorphosis, including the erotic Italian tales of Circe Glaucus,
and Scylla, and Picus, and Canens. Other Roman myths include Pomona
and Vertumnus, as well as events from Romulus' reign. The
deifications of Aeneas and Romulus anticipate the poem's closing
episodes of imperial apotheosis. This commentary provides guidance
to advanced undergraduate and graduate students for understanding
Ovid's language, style, artistry, and allusive techniques. The
introduction discusses the major structures, themes, and stylistic
features of book XIV, its place within the poem as a whole, and
Ovid's interpretive imitation of Virgil's Aeneid.
