Apollo's importance in the religion of the Roman state was markedly
heightened by the emperor Augustus, who claimed a special
affiliation with the god. Contemporary poets variously responded to
this appropriation of Phoebus Apollo, both participating in the
construction of an imperial symbolism and resisting that
ideological project. This book offers a synoptic study of
'Augustan' Apollo in Augustan poetry. Topics explored include the
divine self-imaging of late Republican rivals for power, poetic
imaginings of Apollo's intervention at the pivotal battle of
Actium, how poets 'read' Augustus' new Palatine Temple of Apollo
and the deity's role in the reconstituted Saecular Games, and
Apollo's key position in the emerging dialectic between poetics -
as traditional divine patron of music and literature - and politics
- as patron of Augustus. Discussions encompass the major Latin
poets (Horace, Virgil, Tibullus, Propertius, Ovid) as well as
anonymous voices in poetic lampoons, encomia, and contemporary
Greek verse.
