An enlivening and sophisticated analysis of the pervasive use of historical myth in some of the greatest writers of the Late Republic and Augustan periods - from Cicero and Livy to Virgil, Propertius, and Ovid. The book challenges both historians and scholars of Latin literature with a provocative new interpretation of the whole notion of historical truth, Augustan ideology, and the connections between myth, belief, and historical context.

James E.G. Zetzel, Columbia University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 8.2 (1997) F.'s subject is one that deserves careful study, and his attempt to apply modern theoretical discussions of historiography and ideology to ancient accounts of early Rome is welcome ... F. has made some good decisions ... and has some good and careful things to say about particular passages and texts.
