• Resumen

  • This article explores the creative responses to Ovid’s myth of Marsyas (met. 6, 382-400) by two contemporary Scottish writers, the novelist Ali Smith and the poet Robin Robertson. Although they approach Ovid’s violent narrative from two very different perspectives, both writers reimagine the myth in ways that address some of the most pressing social and moral issues of our times.
