The book offers an in-depth narratological analysis of the 'Book of Orpheus' (10.1-11.84) of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Starting from fundamental aspects of narrative like time, space, and focalisation, the commentary highlights the polyphony of the various narrative levels. The complex and challenging design results from a constant oscillation between the narrator-persona of Ovid and the programmatic Orpheus-figure which has found a wealth of interpretations. In addition, the study places the 10th book in the overall narrative framework of Ovid's Metamorphoses with its density of intertextuality and metanarrativity.
Julian Wagner, Ph.D. (2023), University of Tübingen, is lecturer of Latin and Ancient Greek and member of the Working Group 'Narrative Dynamics in Latin Literature'. He has research interests in Augustan poetry, narratology, and postmodern literary studies.
