The interactions of these poems with each other and their contemporary context are explored by over 20 experts and emerging scholars. Topics studied include the political dimension of the epics, their use of epic themes and techniques and their intertextual relationship among each other and to predecessors. The recent upsurge of interest in Flavian epic has been focused on the analysis of individual works. Looking at these poems together now allows the appreciation of their similarities and nuanced differences in the light of their shared position in literary and political history and gives insights into the literary culture of the period. The different approaches and backgrounds of the contributors ensure the presentation of a range of viewpoints. Together they offer new perspectives to the still increasing readership of Flavian epic poetry but also to anyone interested in the epic genre within Roman literature or other cultures more generally. 410 0$aTrends in classics.$pSupplementary volumes ;$vv. 21. 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 610 $aFlavian literature. 610 $aRoman epic. 610 $aintertextuality. 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a873/.0109 701 $aManuwald$b Gesine$0326443 701 $aVoigt$b Astrid$01648924 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823912603321 996 $aFlavian epic interactions$93997374 997 $aUNINA
