In Lucan’s Bellum Civile, horror, terror, and revulsion are constituent parts of an epic concept that stages the realm between life and death as a vast “death zone.” Destruction of the human body, epic buildings, and traditional values, along with the situational demarcations between the world of the living world and the underworld, life and death, and myth and history all function as leitmotifs that infiltrate the epic world order.
