El imaginario de las lágrimas y del cuerpo: Tristia y Epistulae ex Ponto o la última metamorfosis de Ovidio

Abstract

The imagery of tears in connection with that of the body is one of the aspects of Ovid's Poetics in his exilic Poems, Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto. This article intends to study the function of this imagery in the literary construction of Naso's exile. The multiple writing movements engendered by the mise en scène of these subjects seem to integrate a "metamorphic" Poetics: tears, body and violence allow Ovid to construct his last metamorphosis.
