Abstract
- The article offers criticism on Roman martial epic poetry, including the poems the "Aeneid" by Virgil, "Bellum Civile" by Lucan, and the "Thebaid" by Statius. The author focuses on the poems' treatment of the migration of cranes. Specific topics include the poet Lucan's influence on the "Thebaid," Homeric similes in the poems, and the poems as civil war poetry.
