Abstract:Ovid’s Caeneus is a figure of heroism whose identity as a transman challenges the boundaries of gender and birthright. His career as a transmasculine warrior culminates in his battle with the centaurs. This battle forms a kind of debate over the nature of masculinity, gender identity, and heroism in the world of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Combining analyses of narrative and rhetoric in the Caeneus episode of Book 12 with parallels from the Metamorphoses and the Ovidian corpus, this paper analyzes Ovid’s depiction of Caeneus, his heroic identity and his gender identity. It argues that Ovid’s Caeneus attains the highest levels of heroic achievement not despite of but because of his transmasculinity.

Abstract:This article traces how the entomological bookworm shaped the historical practices, poetics, and literary discourse of Greco-Roman book culture in the early imperial period. I argue that attending to the materiality of bookworms illuminates another realm of poetics and rhetoric around reading (and non-reading), with special focus on Ovid’s exile poetry and several Greek epigrams from the Garland of Philip. Building a bridge from the methodology of book history to literary criticism and metaphor, I ultimately show how the bookworm participates in the discursive construction and stigmatization of a certain kind of inept, pedantic reader.

Abstract:This paper reads Euripides’ Hecuba contextually and intertextually, attending both to the play’s historical context of the Athenian transition to democracy in the fifth century (entailing laws regulating mourning and the birth of the democratic court system) and to its intertextual dialogue with Aeschylus’s Oresteia. Against the great majority of scholars of Hecuba, through a close reading of the play, I argue that Hecuba’s transformation into a dog does not signal her moral degeneration and that her revenge is both ethically coherent and deeply human, recognizing the particularity of her lost son Polydorus in a way that democratic justice cannot.
