This strikingly innovative account of Propertius' relationship with Virgil paints a remarkable picture of poetic rivals. Examination of their use of Greek mythology uncovers sustained polemics concealed and couched in meta-literary allusions, forcing a reshaping of our understanding of poetic interaction within the circle of Maecenas.
