Description

Oppian's Halieutica is a five-book Greek didactic poem exploring the sea and its inhabitants, offering profound meditations on humanity's place within the cosmos and the wisdom found in nature. This Cambridge University Press volume provides the first sustained scholarly reading of the poem as a didactic epic, combining close textual analysis with broader interpretative frameworks to examine its literary sophistication and cultural significance. The work explores how Oppian refracted earlier literary-critical theories and hexameter traditions whilst commenting on human-animal relationships, making it essential for scholars of ancient Greek literature, classical philosophy, and the broader intellectual landscape of Greek culture under Roman rule.
