Beskrivning

This ground-breaking book celebrates the bimillennial anniversary of the inception of Ovid's Fasti by offering a variety of approaches to Ovid's poem on the Roman religious calendar. It is edited by Geraldine Herbert-Brown, whose Ovid and the Fasti (OUP, 1994) first highlighted the value of the poem as an important source for the late Augustan and early Tiberian period. The volume does not aim at consensus but brings together experts from around the world without allowing any single prejudice to prevail. It will engage all those interested in the relationship between literature and society during the early Roman Principate.

... this is a very interesting and learned set of papers which does justice to the dynamics of the poem and the diversity of approaches to it ... For the more experienced student of Fasti all contributions here will be of interest, and many will be valuable for years to come.
