L’articolo mostra come il rapporto di intertestualità di Ov. met. 6, 671-674 con Verg. Aen. 9, 731-735 fornisca un forte indizio in favore dell’autenticità del v. 674 del passo ovidiano, più volte sospettato di interpolazione.

The so-called ‘Casa del Moralista’ stands out from other houses in Pompeii on account of its summer triclinium’s parietal decoration; here, we find three metrical inscriptions which are unique in the Campanian city and rare in general. One elegiac couplet is found on each wall. These texts will be evaluated from a literary point of view, but also within their immediate environmental context, to understand whether their arrangement on the three walls of the room is random, or follows a logical order.

Key issues of Ovidian poetics interpreted via the reading of contemporary poets and artists.

Recensione del volume curato da Alberto Comparini sulla ricezione delle Metamorfosi di Ovidio nella letteratura italiana del Novecento.

This paper deals with the hypothesis, suggested by several critics from the early Nineties onward, that Ovid’s Fasti is a complete poem in six books. This hypothesis is examined against the backdrop of contemporary critical interpretations and creative rewritings of Ovidian poetry, with a particular focus on critical
works focused on the fragmentary and heterogeneous nature of the Fasti.

Starting from the so-called Sabinus-elegy, Ovid’s Amores 2.18, this paper focuses on intratextual connections between the single love-letters, the fifteen fictional epistles imagined as written by female heroines lamenting abandon from the men they loved, Heroides 1-15, and the double epistles, letters from male heroes paired with replies from loved women, Heroides 16-21. It also argues that Helen (Her.

A compact textual unit of six elegiac poems opening the third book of the Corpus Tibullianum ([Tib.] 3.1-6), the Lygdamean cycle recounts the end of a love romance, the discidium of the young lover poet Lygdamus with his elegiac mistress, Neaera.

This paper aims to define the dialectic between “finished” and “unfinished” in the works of Virgil and Horace.
A final and shorter section will be devoted to Ovid. The dialectic finished/unfinished will be analysed within
the framework of three variously interrelated topics: its relationship to literary forms and models (especially
from Hellenistic poetry); the author’s self-representation and his projection of “immortality”; the context of
receptions among readers and the relationship with political power (first and foremost, with Augustus).

Analisi della figura della dea Nemesi a Roma, esclusa dai grandi culti ufficiali, ma ben presente nella poesia amorosa, dove esprime la crudele vendetta contro chi non ricambia l'amore.

Recensione ad una raccolta di poesie in latino del filologo tedesco Michael von Albrecht. Il testo si caratterizza per una reticenza personale dell'autore, compresente con una apertura gioiosa e affettuosa nei confronti degli altri e del mondo in generale. Formalmente, il modello più presente è Ovidio, cui si accostano Virgilio come nume tutelare, e Seneca per i rari accenti esistenzialistici.
