The Fiction of Occasion in Hellenistic and Roman Poetry

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the concept of presence in Hellenistic and Roman poetry, this book examines how poets like Callimachus and Horace create fictional worlds that resonate with readers' realities. It introduces the "fiction of occasion," a framework that frames poems as part of tangible events, engaging readers through sensory experiences. Through close readings of significant first-person works from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, the author aims to establish a new vocabulary for understanding ancient poetry as an embodied experience.
