The Intersection Of Prose And Poetics In Apollonius’ Argonautica, Stephen B. Ogumah
The Intersection Of Prose And Poetics In Apollonius’ Argonautica, Stephen B. Ogumah
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Detecting allusions in the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes is not quite new except for the fact that it has been carried out for long mostly within the poetic tradition. Looking at the proem of the epic, where there is mixing of genres, this mixture suggests that scholars may need to look beyond the Homeric epics and the poetic tradition for better appreciation of the Alexandrian epic.
