In recent years there has been growing interest in the concepts of pictorial vividness (???enargeia???) and pictorial description (???ekphrasis???) in the works of ancient writers. Colour imagery can play a significant part in such pictorial effects. This book explores the visual and stylistic contributions that words for colour and shining make to the poetry of Catullus, Propertius, and Horace.
