Minerva Oscura is a collection of poems by the Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli, published in 1895. In this work, Pascoli, questioning mythological images and symbols, expresses his rejection of worldly life and human thirst for power. He uses metaphors and symbolism to convey his feelings about the world he judged strictly.
