Description

This scholarly work provides the first systematic study of literary citations within the letters of the younger Plinius. It focuses on how Plinius utilized the classics, specifically examining his frequent references to Homer and Virgil.

The study is organized to provide deep insight into the functional use of literature in antiquity. It includes a detailed analysis of 16 thematic letters that contain citations from Homer, Virgil, and other authors. Readers will find a comprehensive look at citation techniques and how these literary references functioned within the social and intellectual framework of the time.
