Ovid, Remedia amoris 95: uerba dat omnis amor

Anagrams and syllabic wordplay of the kind championed by Frederick Ahl in his Metaformations have not always been favourably received by scholars of Latin poetry; I would hesitate to propose the following instance, were it not for the fact that its occurrence seems peculiarly apposite to the context in which it appears. That Roman poets were prepared to use such techniques to enhance the presentation of an argument by exemplifying its operation at a verbal level is demonstrated by the famous passage of Lucretius (DRN 1.907–14; also 1.891–2) in which the poet seeks to illustrate the tendency of semina … ardoris to create fire in wood by the literal presence of elements from the word for ‘fires’ (IGNes) in that denoting wood (lIGNum). A similar conception may underlie the association insinuated by the love elegists between amor and mors, suggesting that death is somehow ‘written into’ love: so Propertius declares laus in amore mori (2.1.47), while Tibullus appears to point to the lurking presence of death in the pursuit of love in the lines interea, dum fata sinunt, iungamus amores: | iam ueniet tenebris Mors adoperta caput (1.1.69–70) – so swift and unexpected is death's approach that it is already present in aMOReS in the preceding line. Ovid's awareness of the poetic potential of this kind of play (if that is the right word for it) is fully exhibited in his celebrated account of Echo and Narcissus in Metamorphoses 3, where the subject matter gives the poet ample scope to exploit the humorous and pathetic possibilities afforded by Echo's fragmented repetitions of the frustrated entreaties of her beloved.

The drowned and the saved: shipwrecks and the 'cursus' of Latin love elegy

Throughout the corpus of Latin love elegy, the imaginary tombs envisaged by the elegists for their own personae and for other inhabitants of their poetic world display a striking tendency to take on the characteristic attributes and personalities of those interred within. The final resting-place of Propertius, for instance, that self-proclaimed acolyte of Callimachean miniaturism and exclusivity, is to be sequestered from the degrading attentions of the passing populace (Prop. 3.16.25–30) and crowned with the poet's laurel (2.13.33–4). What remains of his meagre form will rest in a ‘tiny little urn’ (paruula testa, 2.13.32) beneath a monument declaring the lover's slavery to a single passion (2.13.35–6), and the grave is to be attended, or so he hopes, by the object of that passion herself (3.16.23–4), or occasionally (though he is not so confident of this) by his patron Maecenas (2.1.71–8). Likewise the memorial designed by Ovid for Corinna's pet parrot - an imitatrix ales endowed with the most distinctive foibles of the elegiac tradition - in Amores 2.6, comprising a burial mound pro corpore magnus (2.6.59) topped with a tombstone described as exiguus (‘tiny’, 2.6.60; cf. Prop. 2.1.72, 2.13.33), exhibits an elegiac emphasis worthy of the parrot's human counterparts among Ovid's poetic predecessors.

Roma de amor y muerte : Eros y Thánatos en tres poetas latinos (Horacio, Virgilio, Propercio)

¿De qué modos se vinculan Eros y Thánatos en la poesía latina clásica? Catulo había fijado una primera expresión de tal vínculo. Los poetas del círculo de Mecenas, cada uno a su modo, renuevan el tema. Horacio intenta moderar el miedo a la muerte y el afán amoroso. Virgilio, por su parte, en sus versos sobre Orfeo y Eurídice, nos ofrece otra cifra del enigma: ni el mayor poeta y amante pudo rescatar de la oscuridad a su amada; pero la poesía con que cante su dolor sobrevivirá a la muerte de ambos. Propercio, finalmente, expresa la constante cercanía de amor y muerte; amar es sentir el fondo de la humana fragilidad. Sin embargo, no piensa él meramente en una perduración literaria; afirma que “son algo los manes", pues su amada Cintia, ya muerta, lo ha visitado. “Aun cruza las riberas del Hado un gran amor."

Horacio y la recusatio de la elegía amorosa

Dentro del género lírico, Horacio trata de diferenciar de su propia lírica amatoria la especie erótica elegíaca de un Tibulo o un Propercio; lo hace con dos recursos de raigambre calimaquea empleados con profusión por otros poetas augusteos: la recusatio y la excusatio presentes en Odas I, 33; II, 9 y I, 38
