  1. La Theoxenia Eleusina di Fasti 4.503‒62: Alcune considerazioni sulle fonti e sui caratteri distintivi del testo ovidiano. [REVIEW]Luciano Pasquali - 2021 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 165 (1):90-113.
    The two versions of the myth of Ceres and Proserpina produced by Ovid at Fasti 4.417‒618 and Metamorphoses 5.341–661 have played an exceptionally important role for the knowledge and transmission of this episode in Western culture, from an anthropological and religious point of view but above all from an artistic and literary one. Nonetheless, the complexity of the two texts still confronts modern readers with questions and points to investigate. The present article, devoted specifically to the episode of the divine (...)

  • Adhvc) virginevsqve helicon: A subtextual rape in ovid's catalogue of mountains (met. 2.219.Brian D. McPhee - 2019 - Classical Quarterly 69 (2):769-775.
    In his lengthy survey of the cosmic devastation wrought by Phaethon's disastrous chariot ride, Ovid includes two catalogues detailing the scorching of the world's mountains and rivers. Ovid enlivens these lists through his usual play with sound patterns and revels in the opportunity to adapt so many Greek names to Latin prosody; for instance the opening line of the catalogue of mountains masterfully illustrates both of these features. The lists are also brimming with playful erudition. To take but a few (...)

  • Causation And The Authority Of The Poet In Ovid's Fasti.Byron Harries - 1989 - Classical Quarterly 39 (1):164-185.
    The two central themes of Fasti are twice linked in this way. The association, which at once gives the poem the appearance of having a literary ancestry in the aetiological tradition, might have seemed inevitable: any verse narrative account of a festival is very likely to contain an αтιоν of it. Callimachus' hymns illustrate this assertion, and there are clearly defined hymnic elements in Fasti to bear out the comparison, for example the listing of Venus' αεтαί and Πρáξεις at 4.91ff. (...)

  • Ovid's autobiographical poem, Tristia 4.10.Janet Fairweather - 1987 - Classical Quarterly 37 (01):181-.
    Ovid's Tristia4.10 has in the past chiefly been considered as a source of biographical information rather than as a poem, but increasing interest in the poetry of Ovid's exile has now at last started to promote serious efforts to appreciate its literary qualities. The poem presents a formidable challenge to the critic: at first reading it seems a singularly pedestrian account of the poet's life and, although one may adduce plenty of parallels for details in its phrasing elsewhere in the (...)
