Le <i>tabellae </i>come tramite d’amore: da un imprevedibile insuccesso a un precetto infallibile (Ov. <i>Am. </i>1,11-12; <i>Ars </i>1,437-486)
TL;DRAbstract
The tradition of the erotic letter goes back to the comedy of Plautus and, through one comic unidentified Greek model, very likely to the Euripidean tragedy. In Ovid the topic of the love epistle appears for the first time in Am. 1,11-12 and will come reformulated, with didactic purposes, in Ars 1,437-486. Through the analysis of the Ovidian contexts, that attend to love-letter from different points of view, it is possible to trace a completely ovidian identity, that derives from similar but distant literary models, if not quite different patterns.
