Michael C. J. Putnam provides a comprehensive examination of ekphrasis within Virgil’s Aeneid, analyzing how the poet utilizes descriptive passages of art to reflect upon the narrative’s broader themes. By scrutinizing the intricate relationship between visual imagery and epic storytelling, this study illuminates the structural and symbolic significance of these descriptive moments in the context of Roman literary tradition.
