Made available for the first itme in Anglophone literature, the volume consists of an introduction discussing cultural (theological and philosophical affiliations, dialogue with contemporary art), literary (character-sketching, narrative, interaction witht he Dionysiaca), and technical (paraphrastic technique, transmission, metre) aspects and places the work in its immediate and broader context. The introduction includes an edition of chapter XI from the so-called Athous paraphrase of Nonnus' Paraphrasis."--Publisher description.
