• Resumen

  • I offer a close reading of the assimilation of the character of Caesar to Jupiter in Lucan�s Bellum Civile, arguing that this representation is played out in Caesar�s rage against other cults of Jupiter. This �battle� becomes another layer of civil war in the poem, but Caesar�s violence is ultimately ineffectual.
