Lucan’s dependence on Ovid has become well established in scholarship. Lucan fashions Pompey’s character in accordance with the portrait of Phaethon in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In this paper the manner in which Lucan creates this portrayal in consonance with Ovid’s depiction of Phaethon in both Metamorphoses 1 and 2 is examined. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the meaning of the portrait in terms of the difficulty of governing the Roman Empire by anyone less the most competent.
