a welcome addition to earlier studies of gender in Roman epic
*Neil Bernstein, Journal of Roman Studies*

Augoustakis book brings to light new questions and illustrates how a changed angle of vision can enrich our perception of these texts that many regard as highly patriarchal. He offers new and perceptive reflections on aspects of alienation and gender representation in Flavian epic poetry.
