Lykophron's Alexandra, Rome, and the Hellenistic World
Hornblower, Simon (Formerly Senior Research Fellow in Classical Studies, Emeritus Senior Research Fellow in Classical Studies, All Souls College, Oxford)
The Alexandra attributed to Lykophron is a notoriously difficult poem but one that sheds crucial light on Greek religion, foundation myths, and myths of colonial identity. This book asserts its importance as a strongly political and historical document, and argues that the probable decade of its composition was a turning-point in Roman history.
