It is a poem of immense energy and intelligence in which spectacle and spectatorship are prominent. Leigh shows that by transforming certain Virgilian narrative devices Lucan launches an attack on the Augustan ideology of the Aeneid: where Virgil writes the foundation myth for the new regime and celebrates the connections between Augustus and Aeneas, Lucan produces a savagely republican anti-Aeneid which represents the civil wars as the death of Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667112263968,"sku":"NEW0198150679","price":296.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61aCnbmcP9L.jpg?v=1778958708","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lucan-spectacle-and-engagement-oxford-classical-monographs-0198150679","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
