| Abstract: | Investigates how Roman poets make use of imagery and vocabulary of colour and shining to enhance the effectiveness of their poetry. Focuses on the work of three Roman poets, Catullus, Propertius and Horace (in his Carmina) because they have many themes in common and exhibit skilful and imaginative use of colour imagery and vocabulary. Parallels are drawn with the colour imagery of the poets' predecessors, contemporaries and successors (in both Greek and Latin verse). |
