Explore the sources, history, and context of Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Posthomerica. This scholarly study guides readers through the manuscript evidence, critical editions, and biographical details that shape modern understanding of the poem. It situates Quintus in relation to Homer, Virgil, and Ovid, clarifying how later writers influenced and were influenced by his work.

Written for students and serious readers, the book traces the textual transmission from early codices to modern Teubner editions.
