- Authors
PERKINS, CAROLINE A.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the interpretation of the poem "Amores 1.7," by Ovid, focusing on the subject matter, the physical assault of puella by the poet-speaker and the lover's violence. It examines Tibullus 1.10.51-66 and Propertius 2.5.21-6 which has direct verbal and thematic connections to highlight the characters of the rusticus and the poeta in Tibullus, drawing a contrast in terms of the battles of love and how Propertius objects to Tibullus description of a d runken rusticus as a rapist.
