Description
This work considers the rules of ancient rhetoric as learned by Lucan and applied in his epic. Four themes common to poetry and to the declamatory schools (tyranny, storms, the occult and dreams) are closely analyzed in relation to the poem, and the poem is set in the context of the Neronian age.
