MONUMENTI PIÙ FORTI DEL FUOCO. INCOMPIUTO, IMMORTALITÀ E POTERE NELLA POESIA AUGUSTEA
Abstract
This paper aims to define the dialectic between “finished” and “unfinished” in the works of Virgil and Horace.
A final and shorter section will be devoted to Ovid. The dialectic finished/unfinished will be analysed within
the framework of three variously interrelated topics: its relationship to literary forms and models (especially
from Hellenistic poetry); the author’s self-representation and his projection of “immortality”; the context of
receptions among readers and the relationship with political power (first and foremost, with Augustus).
