This study constitutes the first modern book-length, in-depth
critical analysis of Ovid, Metamorphoses 13.623-14.582. In this
unit Ovid, by challenging openly the artistry of his great
predecessor Vergil, redraws the parameters associated with the
definition and appreciation of epic poetry. The book first
introduces the methodological complexity of the Ovidian embrace
strategy, and, subsequently, it reads the 'little Aeneid' closely,
discussing the network of allusions to its prototype. It assesses
the structure and thematics of each episode in the cluster, and
traces the recurrence of prominent motifs throughout the
Metamorphoses. Not least, it explores poetics, arguing that Ovid's
selective incorporation of the Aeneid reproduces the spirit and
fundamental ideas of the model in an idiosyncratic sophisticated
manner.
