Note(s) : "The majority of the chapters collected in this volume began their life as papers
delivered at a conference on imagery in Greco-Roman didactic poetry organised at the
University of Heidelberg on 1st-3rd July 2016.". - Includes bibliographical references and indexes
"In ancient didactic poetry, poets frequently make use of imagery - similes, metaphors,
acoustic images, models, exempla, fables, allegory, personifications, and other tropes
- as a means to elucidate and convey their didactic message. In this volume, which
arose from an international conference held at the University of Heidelberg in 2016,
we investigate such phenomena and explore how they make the unseen visible, the unheard
audible, and the unknown comprehensible. By exploring didactic poets from Hesiod to
pseudo-Oppian and from Vergil and Lucretius to Grattius and Ovid, the authors in this
collective volume show how imagery can clarify and illuminate, but also complicate
and even undermine or obfuscate the overt didactic message. The presence of a real
or implied addressee invites our engagement and ultimately our scrutiny of language
and meaning"
