Greco-Roman martial epic poetry, from Homer and Virgil to Neronian and Flavian epic, is obsessed with the treatment of dead bodies. This book provides an extensive survey and analysis of corpse mistreatment and funeral violation in Latin epic poetry, thereby enabling a fundamental re-evaluation of violence and warfare.
