This book investigates the complex intertextual relationship between Ennius's Annales and Virgil's Aeneid, specifically focusing on how the Augustan poet engaged with his archaic predecessor to construct a Roman cultural identity. Nora Goldschmidt, a scholar of Latin literature, utilizes a framework of cultural memory and literary reception to analyze how Virgil recontextualized Ennian epic tropes. By examining the linguistic, geographical, and thematic echoes between the two works, the author argues that Virgil's engagement with Ennius was a deliberate act of historical and political positioning within the first century BC.
