Fantasies of Death in Ovid's Poetry of Exile

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In Ovid’s poetry of exile, reflection and fantasies about death realize a close and intense dialogue with the elegiac poetry of Tibullus and Propertius, with its motifs and mechanisms. Ovid always offers us a glimpse inside the world of literature, also working with his own earlier works and showing us how their assumptions are turned upside down in the inverted world in which he now lives a life similar to and worse than death.
