Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the authorship of the Culex, a short epic poem attributed to the Roman poet Virgil. The author argues that the poem as we have it is not the work of Virgil, but rather a later composition that incorporates some authentic Vergilian lines. Through a meticulous analysis of the poem's language, meter, and content, the author demonstrates that the Culex exhibits significant stylistic and thematic differences from Virgil's genuine works. The book also explores the historical and literary context of the Culex, situating it within the broader tradition of Vergilian imitation. Ultimately, this study sheds light on the complex process of literary transmission and reception in ancient Rome, and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most enduring works of Latin literature.
