This book analyses Ovid's account of the festivals of June, and explores the subtle interrelationships of history, literature, religion, and politics in the Augustan age. It also explores the accuracy of Ovid's antiquarianism, and his expansion of generic boundaries. 330 $bAfter a period of neglect, Ovid's elegiac poem on the Roman calendar has been the focus of much recent scholarship. In her comprehensive and scholarly study of the final book, Joy Littlewood analyses Ovid's account of the origins of the festivals of June, demonstrating that Book 6 is effectively a commemoration of Roman War, and elegantly provides a framing bracket to balance the opening celebration of Peace in Book 1. She explores the subtle interweaving of pietas and virtus in Roman religion and its relationship to Augustan ideology, the depth and accuracy of Ovid's antiquarianism, and his audacious expansion of generic boundaries. 606 $aDidactic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFasts and feasts in literature 606 $aCalendar in literature 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFasts and feasts in literature. 615 0$aCalendar in literature. 676 $a871.01 700 $aLittlewood$b R.
