Minus opus moveo
View through CrossRef
This chapter examines a set of verse argumenta, or plot summaries, of Virgil’s Aeneid, as well as a pseudepigraphic verse preface to the argumenta in which the author adopts the role of Ovid. These texts are documents of reception: the preface shows how its author is responding to Ovid’s and Virgil’s poetry and how he is constructing his version of literary history, while the argumenta recast Virgil’s poem by miniaturizing it and reuse his language often in a manner akin to imitation. The texts also demonstrate how Virgil’s major poetry begets minor poetry and is remade as it and by it.
