Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Dust jacket is fully intact, only lightly rubbed at edges. Internally, clean and fresh, with unmarked and uncreased pages. Overall, very sound and presentable.Publisher's note: "The astronomical material in Ovid's Fasti has been overlooked by the current trend of scholarly interest in the poem. It is this material which is the subject of this book. The author does not study Ovid's stars using the techniques of mathematical astronomy. Rather she aims to combine the methodology of recent 'programmatic' or genre-based readings with a broad cultural perspective. Arguing that the stars serve to align the Fasti with hexameter didactic poetry, she first tests the assumption that the Fasti is influenced by the Phaenomena of Aratus xi, 226 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Poetry; Politics and literature; Rome (Empire); Astronomy, Ancient, in literature; Didactic poetry, Latin; Historiography; Fasti (Ovid); ISBN: 0521651875. ISBN/EAN: 9780521651875. Add.
