{"product_id":"9780190680060","title":"Ovid's Homer: Authority, Repetition, Reception","description":"\u003cem\u003eOvid's Homer\u003c\/em\u003e examines the Latin poet's engagement with the Homeric poems throughout his career. Boyd offers detailed analysis of Ovid's reading and reinterpretation of a range of Homeric episodes and characters from both epics, and demonstrates the pervasive presence of Homer in Ovid's work. The resulting intertextuality, articulated as a poetics of paternity or a poetics of desire, is particularly marked in scenes that have a history of scholiastic interest or critical intervention; Ovid repeatedly asserts his mastery as Homeric reader and critic through his creative response to alternative readings, and in the process renews Homeric narrative for a sophisticated Roman readership. Boyd offers new insight into the dynamics of a literary tradition, illuminating a previously underappreciated aspect of Ovidian intertextuality.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109258543344,"sku":"9780190680060","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780190680060_p0.jpg?v=1763659820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780190680060","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
