Echoing Hylas: A Study in Hellenistic and Roman Metapoetics
Mark Heerink
This book argues that Greek and Roman poets throughout classical antiquity used the myth of the lost boy Hylas and the hero Hercules to reflect allegorically on their own poetry and its position in literary history, and thus offers a unique diachronic case study of ancient self-reflexive poetry.
