This book aims to vindicate the Ciris, mainly by exploring its use of pre-Virgilian poetic texts largely ignored in previous scholarship. The core of the book consists of a discursive literary commentary, divided into chapters that examine consecutively the poem's main narrative units. Viewing allusion and allegory as intrinsic features of poetic composition rather than mere artistic devices, the book explores, among more prominent intertexts, Apollonius' Argonautica and Callimachus' Hecale, Lucretius and Catullus 64. Allusions are also suggested to Homer and Empedocles, Theocritus, Moschus, and Bion, Nicander and Euphorion, Choerilus of Samos and Asius of Samos, Ennius and Cicero. Through its intricate web of references to poetic intertexts, the Ciris, it is argued, creates an implicit allegorical pattern with an original poetological message. Allusion and Allegory is thus the first book-length study to offer a coherent literary interpretation of this controversial poem. 410 0$aBeitra?ge zur Altertumskunde ;$vBand 346. 606 $aAllusions in literature 606 $aMythology, Classical, in literature 606 $aNarrative poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 607 $aRome$xIn literature 607 $aRome (Empire)$2fast 615 0$aAllusions in literature. 615 0$aMythology, Classical, in literature. 615 0$aNarrative poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a871.01 686 $aFX 178705$2rvk 700 $aKayachev$b Boris$01176048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996234749803316 996 $aAllusion and allegory$92733119 997 $aUNISA
