Description
This is a direct literary adaptation of Virgil's Aeneid. The present study demonstrates how, in less than one thousand lines, Ovid revisits the epic world of Aeneas and subjects it to a reading that is a paradigm of critical analysis, a statement of originality, and a powerful claim to the epic heritage and Virgilian succession.
First Sentence
The text of the Metamorphoses is both a challenge as well as a response to the Aeneid,1 yet nowhere in the course of the fifteen books of the poem does Ovid confront his great predecessor more directly than in the 'little Aeneid'.
