Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the literary works of the prominent late Roman poet, Dracontius. The study commences by exploring Dracontius's mastery of metric structure and prosody and defines how these shape his expressive style. It then moves on to illuminate his narrative themes and how he draws upon mythology and history to address the anxieties and challenges of his time. The author delves into Dracontius's complex worldview, revealing his Christian faith and his profound engagement with classical literary traditions. Through an analysis of his famous "Orestes," the book sheds light on the ways in which Dracontius harnessed poetic form to explore questions of justice, vengeance, and the human condition. In offering a captivating and deeply informed analysis, this book enhances our understanding of Dracontius's literary artistry and enduring significance within the broader landscape of Late Antiquity.
