Grattius’ Cynegetica is the author’s only surviving work and can confidently be dated to the Augustan period, yet in comparison to his literary contemporaries Grattius is seldom read and remains almost completely unappreciated in classical and literary scholarship. This volume is the first book-length study of the poet and aims to make his work accessible to a wide audience, reveal its relevance for the tradition of didactic poetry and the study of other Augustan poetry and culture, and provide an impetus for future discussions.
