Grattius' Cynegetica is the author's only surviving work and can confidently be dated to the Augustan period, yet Grattius is seldom read in comparison to his literary contemporaries. This volume is the first book-length study of the poet and aims to make his work accessible to a wide audience and provide an impetus for future discussions.

Steven J. Green is Senior Lecturer in Humanities at Yale-NUS College Singapore and an Honorary Research Fellow at University College London. He specializes in Roman literature and culture of the first centuries BCE and CE and his major publications have so far focused around Ovid, Manilius, Roman didactic poetry, the interaction between Roman literature and religious experience, and the reception of the classical world in twenty-first-century Hollywood film. His latest monograph is Disclosure and Discretion in Roman Astrology: Manilius and his Augustan Contemporaries (OUP, 2014).
