A bold new interpretive approach to Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Campbell argues that the poem’s first pentad draws a programmatic strain of influence from hymns to the gods, in particular conversation—and competition—with the work of the Alexandrian poet Callimachus, a favored source of inspiration to Augustan writers.
