  • Summary

    Addresses the most intense programmatic section of the poem: the delayed proem of Book 12. Rather than reading it in the light of current Quintan scholarship, as an indication of Alexandrian indebtedness, the chapter puts forward a new anti-Alexandrian interpretation. Shows Quintus reconfiguring symbolic imagery from Callimachus’ Aetia to create a pointedly un-Callimachean programme and emphasises the Homeric core of the ‘anti-epic’ voice.

  • Summary

    Confronts the synchronic model of time which underpins Quintus’ whole interval poetics and approach to Homer. Analyses the key narrative features of time in the poem: pacing, counterfactuals, anachronies and motifs of closure. Proposes that Quintus draws on the two different narrative forms offered by the Iliad and Odyssey and radically recombines them into one. Given the political dimensions attached to these forms, the chapter ultimately suggests the ideological implications of this technique. By merging teleological and open narratives, Quintus creates a positive reading of the ‘inevitability’ and ‘continuity’ associated with the advance of empire, celebrating for imperial Greece the open-ended potential of the closed Homeric text.
