Gregory Hutchinson's new book, Motion in Classical Literature: Homer, Parmenides, Sophocles, Ovid, Seneca, Art, begins with an exploration of motion in particular works of visual art, and continues by examining the characteristics of literary depiction. Seven works are then used as examples: Homer’s Iliad, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Tacitus’ Annals, Sophocles’ Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus, Parmenides’ On Nature, and Seneca’s Natural Questions.
