A Commentary on Ovid's Fasti, Book 6 (Hardcover, New)

After a period of neglect, Ovid's elegiac poem on the Roman
calendar has been the focus of much recent scholarship. In her
comprehensive and scholarly study of the final book, Joy Littlewood
analyzes Ovid's account of the origins of the festivals of June,
demonstrating that Book 6 is effectively a commemoration of Roman
War, and elegantly provides a framing bracket to balance the
opening celebration of Peace in Book 1. She explores the subtle
interweaving of pietas and virtus in Roman religion and its
relationship to Augustan ideology, the depth and accuracy of Ovid's
antiquarianism, and his audacious expansion of generic boundaries.
