This remarkably coherent and readable study identifies and categorizes such diction in Vergil's writings showing further how such comparatively unpromising material was converted by the poet's methods of \"combination\" (unctura) into poetry. In a critical analysis, Lyne draws parallels between Horace's procedures in combining works to \"make them new,\" and Vergil's bold combinations which veritably extort unexpected and novel sense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667112198432,"sku":"NEW0198152612","price":74.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71UtgMskjDL.jpg?v=1778958705","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/words-and-the-poet-characteristic-techniques-of-style-in-vergils-aeneid-0198152612","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
