Abstract
Two exceptional colonial poems, Thomas Morton's version of the events around his Maypole at Merrymount and Benjamin Tompson's epics on King Philip's War, are heavily classical, especially in their descriptions of Native Americans. The essay examines the advantages that the use of classical comparisons have over the more common tropes of Biblical typology.
