P. Ovidii Nasonis "Epistula ex Ponto" III 1: Testo, Traduzione E Commento

Product Description


The Epistula ex Ponto III 1 sums up the leitmotives of Ovid's poetry of exile. This linguistic-philological commentary reveals intertextual connections with the author's other writings, with the previous Latin love poetry as well as with the ways of Ciceronian and Horatian decorum.


Review


Overall, this is an excellent commentary on an important poem from a collection that is (still) under-examined. It will improve readers' experience of the particular poem treated as well as scholarly work on the exile poetry as a whole. Emlen Smith in BMCR 2013.09.31
