Léxico y estructura en Amores 2.7 y 2.8

Abstract

Poems 7 and 8 from Book II of Ovid’s Amores appear to form an inseparable whole and have so been taken by Ovidian scholarship. However, studies pertaining to the relations between both texts and to the internal structure of each one of them have in general been limited to thematic approaches. In this article, we intend to re-examine their structure and relationship by focussing on Ovid’s use of vocabulary to craft such a complex and harmonious composition.
