- Authors
Hackler, Neal
- Abstract
The article presents an examination into Andrew Marvell's allusionary references within his lyric poem "The Unfortunate Lover," to Ovid's legendary tale of Ceyx and Alcyone found in the classical Latin work "Metamorphoses." Parallels between the two tales are then cited and explicated, highlighting thematic similarities regarding birds, shipwrecks and love as well as noting divergences between them.
