This is a comprehensive study and reevaluation of the text against the background of the ancient cento tradition, also providing a new English translation. After developing a new definition of the ancient conception of the cento in general, Geta?s cento technique and his use of the Vergilian text as well as his relation to the Greek and Roman models for his Medea are examined. It is shown that his play is innovative and sophisticated in both technique and content. 410 0$aTrends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 606 $aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aCento. 610 $aHosidius Geta. 610 $aIntertextuality. 610 $aMedea. 615 0$aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a871/.01 700 $aRondholz$b Anke$01558658 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788689903321 996 $aThe versatile needle$93823232 997 $aUNINA
