      ab: The presence of the classical tradition, prevalent in European literature down to the twentieth century, is still evident in the postwar period. But here it occurs in a radically fragmented form reflecting the shattering of values in the contemporary world. The fragmentation of familiar texts reveals itself in parodies and travesties of the Odyssey and the Aeneid as well as such dramas as the Oresteia or Antigone. The lives of Virgil and Ovid have been adapted to reflect the problematics of postmodern writers. And even the elegiac distich has been distorted by postwar poets to suggest formally the fragmentation of an enduring tradition.
