Book synopsis

Argues that the story of Hylas - a famous episode of the Argonauts' voyage - was used by poets throughout classical antiquity to reflect symbolically on the position of their poetry in the literary tradition. Certain elements of the story, including the characters of Hylas and Hercules themselves, functioned as metaphors of the art of poetry.
