The book is a detailed study on the structure and the topics of
Ovida (TM)s compedium of the Trojan Saga in Metamorphoses
12.1-13.622, the section also referred to as the a oeLittle Iliada
. It explores the motives and the objectives behind the selected
narrative moments from the Epic Cycle that found their way into the
Ovidian version of the Trojan War. By thoroughly mastering and
inspiringly refashioning a vast amount of literary material, Ovid
generates a systematic reconstruction of the archetypal hero,
Achilles. Thus, he projects himself as a worthy successor of Homer
in the epic tradition, a master epicist, and a par to his great
Latin predecessor, Vergil.
