This first monograph in English on Colluthus situates this late antique author within
his cultural context and offers a new appraisal of his hexameter poem The Abduction
of Helen, the end-point of the pagan Greek epic tradition, which was composed in the
Christianised Egyptian Thebaid. The book evaluates the poem's connections with long-established
and contemporary literary and artistic genres and with Neoplatonic philosophy, and
analyzes the poet's re-negotiation of traditional material to suit the expectations
of a late fifth-century AD audience. It explores Colluthus' interpretation of the
contemporary fascination with visuality, identifies new connections between Colluthus
and Claudian, and shows how the author's engagement with the poetry of Nonnus goes
much further than previously shown
