Clio and the poets : Augustan poetry and the traditions of ancient historiography

D. S. Levene (Editor)
In this book seventeen leading scholars examine the interaction between historiography and poetry in the Augustan age: how poets drew on — or reacted against — historians’ presentation of the world, and how, conversely, historians transformed poetic themes for their own ends.
