Summary
É vasto o campo semântico abarcado pelo termo ékphrasis. Atualmente encontramos este vocábulo referindo-se, mais freqüentemente, à descrição literária de um trabalho de arte. O poeta torna manifesto, então, o efeito que Enéias causaria na rainha Dido e nos demais ouvintes ao descrever a morte de Laocoonte, sobretudo com o emprego de recursos técnicos que confeririam a sensação não apenas de uma simples referência, mas da própria visão e experiência do acontecimento a que os ouvintes seriam submetidos por meio da clareza e vivacidade desta descrição, e que os coloca na posição de espectadores do que se vai narrar.
