Orphic Voice(s) : : a Narratological Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses 10. 1-11. 84.
The book offers an in-depth narratological analysis of the 'Book of Orpheus' (10.1-11.84). The commentary puts special emphasis on the polyphony of the various narrative levels that results from the complex relation of Ovid's narrator-persona towards the programmatic Orpheus-figure.
