Ovid, Aratus and Augustus: Astronomy in Ovid's Fasti - Cambridge Classical Studies
Gee, Emma (University of Exeter)
The astronomical material in Ovid's Fasti has been overlooked by the current trend of scholarly interest in the poem. It is this material which is the subject of this book. The author does not study Ovid's stars using the techniques of mathematical astronomy. Rather she aims to combine the methodology of recent 'programmatic' or genre-based readings with a broad cultural perspective.
