Abstract
SummaryBecause of the interaction and oscillation between poetic imagery and subjective experience, Ovid’s exilic texts are a privileged locus for studying the relationship of rhetorical and poetic discourse. The use of repetition in its various features (at the level of the phoneme, of the word, of the meter, etc.) allows us to investigate the functioning of these two kinds of discourse in Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto. In this paper we will examine the mise en scene of this rhetorical device in Tristia, considered as a structural part of a poetic design which includes it not as a mere formal technique but as a per- formative strategy. From this perspective, repetition assumes a functional role. For our analysis we will take some significative examples of a corpus which presents a semantic unity, the elegies of Naso’s journey to Tomi (7>. 1,2; 1,4; I, 10 and I, 11).
