Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- At the end of the extended account of Phaethon’s disastrous celestial journey (Met. 1.750–2.400), the hapless charioteer’s family and friends give way to wildly expressive grief. Phaethon’s father, the Sun, refuses to shine (2.329–32); his mother, Clymene, wanders over the world looking for his scattered bones until she finds his tomb (made by some helpful nymphs, 2.325–8) at which to mourn ...

Narcissus Revisited : Scholarly Approaches to the Narcissus Theme
- 2020

-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Chapter 10 brings the transforming force of reading Ovid’s epic up to the present, by offering a view of the differences in the scholarly situation encountered by two researchers investigating the Narcissus theme at the distance of half-a-century—one in the 1960s, the other in the 2010s. The first part of the chapter gives a view of the scholarly conditions under which Vinge prepared her celebrated work on the Narcissus theme in the mid-1960s. In the second part, Johansson presents an overview of scholarly investigations of the Narcissus theme over the fifty years since the publication of Vinge’s study. The theoretical advances in literary studies as well as the growth of research on the Narcissus tradition has made it difficult to grasp the entire history of the theme. In the resulting divergence of perspectives, there arises an implicit disagreement not only about the meaning of Narcissus, but also about how Narcissus is conceptualized in the first place.

The Bavarian Commentary and the Beginning of the Medieval Reception of the Metamorphoses
- 2020
-
In: Metamorphic readings. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780198864066 ; , s. 162-182
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter explores the earliest material witnesses to the medieval reception of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and shows what they can tell us about what attracted the medieval reader to Ovid’s great work. The earliest witnesses consist of two families of freestanding commentaries, both of which seem to stem from Bavaria around the year 1100. This chapter demonstrates how the commentaries make use of several different interpretative strategies. These include, of course, explanations focussed on the mythological background, but also comments on the grammar and vocabulary of the Metamorphoses, as well as explanations focussing on neoplatonic cosmography and Euhemeristic interpretations of Ovid’s work. As this is the first documented stage of adapting, and in that sense transforming, Ovid’s Metamorphoses for later readers, the categories of commentary discerned also lay the foundation for relating and understanding later stages of the tradition.
