| contents | “Tanto de meu estado me acho incerto”: contradições do amor, de Catulo a Ovídio CARLOS ASCENSO ANDRÉ Lengua y Literatura Love hate Ovid love Catullus The most famous text in Latin literature exploring the paradoxes of love is Catullus’s celebrated Carmen 85 which opens precisely with the oxymoron Odi et amo. Nevertheless, the formulation of such antithetical view of love has gained a wider recognition among Rome’s poets. We could, for instance, recall Virgil’s Aeneid, where the passion between Dido and Aeneas, approaching its tragic zenith, makes both feelings overlap, or, better still, promotes an almost abrupt passage from one to the other. Propertius can, to some extent, be read in a similar way as regards his conflicting relationship with Cynthia. And Catullus himself doesn’t express his love affair with Lesbia in a different way. Ovid is nonetheless seldom referred as far as this subject is concerned. There’s a poem however that clearly follows Catullus’s model: the same emotional turmoil which Catullus magnificently voiced in Carmen 85 has also been expressed in an inspired manner by the Sulmonenis in elegy 3.11b from the Amores. In this poem, the everlasting strife between the two feelings, love and hate, is conveyed with remarkable power and intensity and the dialectical opposition between them virtually becomes an obsession unfolding in 20 lines. This article intends to illustrate the widespread reception of this theme in Latin poetry, thus foreshadowing its enduring fortune in the literature of all times. 2005 artículo científico 0874-5498 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=321028503003 pt http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3210 Ágora.
