| contents | Ekphrasis, Digression and Elegy: The Propertius’ Second Book Paulo Martins Lengua y Literatura 12 elegy 2 book two ekphrasis Propertius Since Lachmann’s edition (1816), there have been many discussions on the extent of Propertius’ second book of Elegies. Fundamentally, nowadays, we observe two trends in this respect: one that understands that Propertius’ elegies must be divided only into four books; and another, less conservative, which argues that the second book is too long, and for this reason this book would be a conflation of 2A and 2B. In this paper, I support the presupposition of the division of Book 2 into two books, by arguing that Lyne’s (1998a) thesis on it is very appropriate. I understand that the elegies in Books 1 and 2 are marked by a narratio a persona, Cynthia. I consider the initial elegy of Propertius’ Book 2B, 2.12, as a digression, which both recapitulates the central theme of the first two books and presents a broader poetic program than that which is presented in the previous elegies. Furthermore, I intend to observe the ekphrastic features of this digression in order to support Lyne’s thesis by adding a new argument. Thus, 2.12, besides being a programmatic elegy, is also a highly innovative piece in terms of argumentation, since it presents two rhetorical mechanisms: digressio and ekphrasis. 2017 artículo científico 0103-4316 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=601770915010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6017 Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.30 |
