Abstract
In the Heroides VII, Ovid rereads the Didonis fabula and takes up again and develops themes of the Aeneid 4 book, changing them into argumenta in order to discourage the epistula addresse from leaving (according to the rhetorical precepts'genus deliberativum). This rewrite derives from cultural and anthropological models, and its original issue lie, in particular, both in the shipwreck's motif meant as punishment on guilty of love perjury, and in the hint at pregnancy as guarantee of a physical relationship with the lover.File in questo prodotto:
