Focusing on the Roman response to Greek poetry from the last three pre-Christian centuries, this book delves into critical readings that reveal the complexity of Hellenistic poetry. It highlights the significance of Callimachus and his contemporaries while examining the unique contributions of Roman poets like Catullus, Virgil, and Horace. The studies explore themes such as poets' perspectives on their work, the symbolism of Dionysus/Bacchus, and the transformation of Greek bucolic into Latin pastoral, offering a richer understanding of these literary figures.
