It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poetics, imagination, and ideology – and will be useful as a teaching aid and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its reception. Historically, the poem's audience includes readers interested in opera and ballet, psychology and sexuality, myth and painting, feminism and posthumanism, vegetarianism and metempsychosis (to name just a few outside the area of Classical Studies).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction Alessandro Barchiesi\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 1 Alessandro Barchiesi\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 2 Alessandro Barchiesi\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 3 Alessandro Barchiesi\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 4 Gianpiero Rosati\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 5 Gianpiero Rosati\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on Book 6 Gianpiero Rosati\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Books 7-9 E.
