Description: Ovid and Hesiod by Ioannis Ziogas Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Argues that a profound engagement with Hesiod is central to Ovids poetic world. An important contribution to the study of Ovid and the wider poetry of the Augustan age and an excellent case study in how the reception of previous traditions can become the driving force of poetic creation. Publisher Description The influence on Ovid of Hesiod, the most important archaic Greek poet after Homer, has been underestimated. Yet, as this book shows, a profound engagement with Hesiods themes is central to Ovids poetic world. As a poet who praised women instead of men and opted for stylistic delicacy instead of epic grandeur, Hesiod is always contrasted with Homer. Ovid revives this epic rivalry by setting the Hesiodic character of his Metamorphoses against the Homeric character of Virgils Aeneid. Dr Ziogas explores not only Ovids intertextual engagement with Hesiods works but also his dialogue with the rich scholarly, philosophical and literary tradition of Hesiodic reception. An important contribution to the study of Ovid and the wider poetry of the Augustan age, the book also forms an excellent case study in how the reception of previous traditions can become the driving force of poetic creation.
