Stealing the Club from Hercules: On Imitation in Latin Poetry

By Gian Biagio Conte

In the first part of this volume on the literary technique of imitation, the author analyses Virgil's working over the text of Homer which paradoxically represents a true act of artistic originality. In the second chapter, the author reconstructs the presuppositions of a method and explores at the same time its limitations.
