LUCAN, BOOK 5
Italy
Caesar dominates the fifth book of Lucan’s Civil War. As he faces the possibility of destruction in a storm redolent of the clash of primeval forces, and his ambitions, strengths and fears confirm him as the prime engine of the poem, Lucan radically reshapes the function and significance of one of the most traditional building blocks of epic narrative. The third Cortona Colloquium on Latin Literature will provide an assessment of this and other aspects of the book, its relationship with previous models, and its impact. Each speaker will introduce a section of the text and guide all participants in a wide-ranging discussion of both local and general issues.
