This collection offers a new collaborative reading of Quintus
Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica: a major, fascinating Greek epic written at
the height of the Roman Empire. Building on the surge of interest
in imperial Greek poetry seen in the past decades, this volume
applies multiple approaches literary, theoretical and historical to
ask new questions about this mysterious, challenging poet and to
re-evaluate his role in the cultural history of his time. Bringing
together experienced imperial epic scholars and new voices in this
growing field, the chapters reveal Quintus' crucial place within
the inherited epic tradition and his role in shaping the literary
politics of Late Antique society.
