James J. O'Hara is George L. Paddison Professor of Latin at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
O’Hara’s catalogue of Vergilian etymological wordplay is a goldmine
of information and a welcome contribution to Vergilian studies…
Ovid scholars will read with interest section 2.14 of the
Introduction, where O’Hara lists and discusses examples of Ovid’s
allusions to Vergil’s etymological wordplay. Every Vergil
scholar will want a copy of this book."" - Pamela Bleisch, American
Journal of Philology
""O’Hara has done Virgilian studies a considerable service with
this very erudite piece of scholarship."" - Llewelyn Morgan,
Classical Review
""This book is to be heartily welcomed as a major tool which will
be of great use not only for Vergilian scholars but also for all
those concerned with the literary texture of Augustan poetry."" -
Stephen J. Harrison, Echos du monde classique
