Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; black dj, bw illustration, mylar cover; xiii, 346 pp. "Madness plays a vital role in many ancient epics: not only do characters go mad, but madness also often occupies a central thematic position in the texts. In this book, Debra Hershkowitz examines from a variety of theo…retical angles the representation and poetic function of madness in Greek and Latin epic from Homer through the Flavians, including individual chapters devoted to the Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, Ovid's Metamorphoses, Lucan's Bellum Civile, and Statius' Thebaid. The study also addresses the difficulty of defining madness, and discusses how each epic explores this problem in a different way, finding its own unique way of conceptualizing madness."--Jacket. Contents: Introduction : fragments d'un discours furieux -- Vergil's Aeneid: the Romans and the irrational -- Homeric epic: the Greeks and the rational? -- Ovid's Metamorphoses: shifting boundaries of the divided self -- Lucan's Bellum ciuile: epic in extremis -- Statius' Thebaid: furor without limits.

Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1998. XIII,346p. Original blue cloth. Spine gilt titled. Name on free endpaper. 'The book is primarily about Roman epic. Homer?s inclusion in the title and his (subtle) placing in the third chapter serves to highlight the restricted rôle of madness in early Greek epic, in contrast to what we find in Virg…il and his successors. H. sees the ?Aeneid? as the creative interface between Greek and Roman literary ideas of madness and as the focal point for the Roman transfer of Greek tragic paradigms of madness (Io, Orestes, and others) to a new, epic ?model? Her account of this process (?) is persuasive. (?) H. Is good on the developing rôle of ?furor poeticus? The delineation of madness of ?discordia? and (civil) war is articulated through the mad ?vates?, an ambiguous theme which H. draws out splendidly, and which is well reflected in the title. (?) H.?s central achievement is her articulation of the rich ambiguities of human emotion and motivation, as portrayed in Roman epic. She has made an important contribution to the breaking down of stereotypical characterisations, character contrasts, and their cosmic projections. (?) H.?s (?) book is full of insights: like the epics it describes, it will encourage her readers to think, and it will certainly inspire new thinking on this fascinating subject.? (ALEX HARDIE in The Classical Review (New Series), 2000, pp.109-111).
