Abstract

In this article, we would like to focus on the incorporation of hunting topics into the Ars amatoria of Ovid. Although this work concentrates on the description of events and characters mainly inserted in an urban setting, due to its many contacts with the tradition of Roman love elegy, we certainly have the employment of many agricultural or hunting images inside the poem. Regarding the employment of hunting images in the Ars, we differentiate those times in which they are connected to mythical narratives from those in which such overlap does not occur. In the latter case, these images tend to be produced as metaphors, but not in the first one, what would bring the language of mythical excerpts of hunting from the Ars amatoria closer to the denotative employment of language.
