After Ovid Franca Ela Consolino

In 2017 and 2018, the 2000th anniversary of Ovid's death caused an upsurge in conferences and publications dedicated to both his work and his fortune. This volume is in perfect consistency with these initiatives and contains the Proceedings of the conference 'After Ovid. Aspects of Ovid's reception between literature and iconography', held on 7 and 8 May 2019 at the Department of Human Sciences (DSU) of the University of L'Aquila. The conference took into consideration various aspects of Ovid's fortune, from a diachronic and interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions cover a period of about fourteen centuries, from late antiquity to the end of the eighteenth century, and range from late Latin to medieval literature, from humanistic production to modern English and Italian literature, and from linguistics to the figurative arts. All the investigations contribute to putting into evidence the multifarious impact of Ovid's works, and of the Metamorphoses in particular, whose treatment of myth becomes a starting point for integrations, developments, (re)interpretations and representations, isolated or included in an iconographic program.
