Janan, Micaela
Reflections in a Serpent's Eye

Thebes in Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'.

A study of the role of the city of Thebes in Books 3 and 4 of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Micaela Janan uses the psychoanalytic theory of Freud and Lacan to argue that the strangely fantastical way in which it is presented shows Ovid posing questions that ultimately relate to the concept of collective identity.
