Ecphrastic Shields in Graeco-Roman Literature: The World's Forge

By Karel Thein

This volume takes a fresh look at ekphrasis as a textual practice closely connected to our embodied imagination and its verbal dimension; it offers the first detailed study of a large family of ancient ecphrastic shields, often studied separately, but never as an ensemble with its own development.
