About this book

In the prologues and epilogues to his Fables, Phaedrus – despite the low reputation of the genre – develops a complex if at times inconsistent poetics. The ambivalences and contradictory nature of his poetics are part of the fabulist’s self-presentation, whereby certain figures, such as Aesop the trickster, the donkey, and even divine figures such as Prometheus play central role.

Reviews

"Insgesamt liefert P.s Buch einen bedeutenden Beitrag zu dem begrusenswerten Bestreben der Phaedrus-Forschung, den Fabeldichter endlich als einen faszinierend selbstreflexiven Literaten zu wurdigen."
Niklas Holzberg in: Gymnasium 125.4 (2018), 384-385
