The myth of the Calydonian boar-hunt belongs to the few great mythical cycles of the ancient world. Corresponding to this importance, this book contains a complete presentation of the literary sources of the Calydonian hunt and of the other adventures of its central hero Meleagros. The documents are arranged by genres and put into their literary context. Special attention is paid to the several lines and breaks of the tradition, which led to a spilt into different versions of the legend. Time and again it is observable that single poets used the myth as a functional element in a larger context

Special attention is given to literary motifs and topoi as well as to Seneca’s poetic language in its pivotal position between the Augustan poets and Neronian-Flavian epi
