The seventh book of Lucan's De Bello Ciuili vividly recounts the decisive victory of Julius Caesar over Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus on August 9, 48 BCE. Within the vast scope of Lucan's epic, the entire book is dedicated solely to this pivotal event, as the narrator grapples with the immense challenge of conveying the profound horror and profound significance of Romans engaging in combat against Romans, as well as the devastating republican defeat. Book VII showcases both De Bello Ciuili and its fervent, partisan narrator at their distinctive best. Lucan's portrayal of Pharsalus exemplifies his poem's macabre aesthetic, his unwavering commitment to paradox and hyperbole, and his highly rhetorical manner of presenting events. This English commentary on Lucan's important book, spanning over half a century, offers extensive assistance with Latin, aiming to guide students and scholars toward the most crucial issues, themes, and aspects of this remarkable poem.
