explicitly, his conformity or disagreement with the traditional versions of the
legends that he treats. The poem is not a real mythographic handbook, because
it uses of the epic poetry’s narrative principles. It is necessary to emphasize among
these principles the different levels of narration and the continuous ruptures of
the chronological thread, looking for the varietas, the surprise and attention of
the conspirational reader of the referential situations from the moment in which
it is written. These are very different principles from the quasi historical narrative
of Pseudo Apollodorus’ Bibliotheca. This is demonstrated by comparison of some
legends of the Met. I-V with the mythographic handbook.

In this commentary, when he expounds on the exegesis of the selected myths, Pontanus refers to some other myths that are omitted due to their more indecent or immodest nature, although this kind of myths are a minority. His principal concern is literary, what is a novelty among Renaissance commentaries on Ovid’s works.

en las Metamorfosis de Ovidio, podíamos considerar excepcionales
la presencia en la epopeya de animales que hablan. Frente
a la capacidad de sentir y de no poder expresar sus sentimientos
que sufren Io, Calisto y Acteón, la mayor parte de los humanos que
se transforman en animales, sea cual sea el proceso de su metamorfosis,
no tienen ni conciencia de sí mismos ni la propiedad de la
palabra.

narrated through the poet’s own voice. Multiple examples exist in which the
author lends rhetorical weight to female voices, a narrative technique that can
be traced back to the Archaic period. Furthermore, women narrate events that
are beyond their concern or they have not experienced first hand, becoming
objective storytellers of others’ actions relevant for this poetic development.
Without distinguishing between historical, national or mythological epic poetry,
and including both gods and mortals, poets have created female storytellers
(Álvarez/Iglesias, 2014). They can be found in homodiegetic and also in heterodiegetic
narratives, from Ilia’s revelation of her dream in Ennius’ Annals to Anna’s
speech in Silius Italicus’ Punica, where she informed Aeneas of what happened
in Carthage after abandoning Dido.

Aracne from Metamorphoses 6, 1-145 in the Francesc Alegre’s
Catalan version, as well as in the Spanish translations by Jorge de
Bustamante (Anvers 1551) and by Antonio Pérez Sigler (Burgos in
1609). The main objectives are to note the different ways of
translation (paraphrases or translation ad litteram) and to emphasize
how the influence of the moral interpretations from allegorical
commentaries, as Bonsignori Ovidio metamorphoseos vulgare, or
from Boccaccio’s Genealogia deorum, occur in these versions of
Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

In this paper our objective is to analyse the mythographic additions of the expanded 1581 edition of Conti’s work.

This paper analyzes each of them in its context, examining the way Horace receives and adapts them, and how he achieves to convert them in models for other genres. In the points it becomes pertinent, transmission of the text is discused. On the other hand, subjects are summarized and too the introductory particles, not significative in relation with the homeric model and finally it is examined the adequacy of the similes to Ancient Rhetorical Theory.

The themes of the first musical dramas draw their inspiration from Ovid’s Metamorphoses; since then, the Ovidian arguments have continued to attract the interest of composers and librettists throughout the history of opera. This article examines how the love triangle between Acis, Galatea and Polyphemus, a legend created by Ovid, is adapted in opera. After a mythographic analysis of the characters, the authors analyze the adaptation of Met. 13,750-897 in three musical dramas: the pastoral heroique by Lully-Campistron, the zarzuela by Literes-Cañizares and the masque by Handel-Gay. The detailed comparative analysis of the different librettos with the Metamorphoses allows us to infer the writers’ fidelity to or freedom from their source. At the same time, we undertake to detect the influence of other passages of this Ovidian epos on these works.

Lire les mythes. Formes, usages et visées des pratiques mythographiques de l’Antiquité à la Renaissance.
Les mythes grecs et latins ont été transmis par les poètes et par les mythographes. Mais, quoique leur rôle ait été décisif, ces derniers ont été peu étudiés. Une des raisons en est que leur activité n'a jamais été constituée en genre, leurs pratiques étant aussi diverses que complexes. Ce volume, issu des travaux du groupe de recherches international Polymnia, cherche à répondre à la question : Que recouvre le terme 'mythographie' ? en étudiant un choix de textes représentatifs de la tradition mythographique en Grèce, à Rome, dans l'Europe du moyen âge et de la Renaissance. Pour mieux appréhender la diversité des méthodes et des propositions des mythographes anciens et modernes sur les significations et la fabrication des mythes, ces études sont centrées sur les formes, usages et visées de leurs écrits. Loin d'être de simples médiateurs et compilateurs, les mythographes ont été des analystes, des interprètes et des recréateurs de mythes, qui nous invitent à réfléchir à notre tour sur les constants efforts d'exégèse qui ont construit la culture occidentale.

Esta dinâmica, de forte cariz transversal, conduz à questão das "fronteiras do eu" individual (local) e da comunidade (global): o que significa ser estranho e não o ser, até que ponto a conexão tensa entre o normativo e o transgressivo constitui um processo determinante no comportamento colectivo e individual pelo qual o ser humano aprende, avança, se compreende a si mesmo e compreende os outros? Possam as indagações aqui presentes servir o público a que, antes de mais se destinam: os alunos dos seminários de 2º e 3º ciclo de Estudos Clássicos, mas também um público mais vasto, que ultrapasse o exclusivamente académico, dado o seu cariz pluridisciplinar e transepocal. verificar medidas da capa/lombada Coor de naç ão editor i a l I m p r e n s a d a U n i v e r s i d a d e d e C o i m b r a Email: imprensauc@ci.uc.pt URL: http://www.uc.pt/imprensa_uc Vendas Online: http://www.livrariadaimprensa.com ConCepção gr á f iC a A n t ó n i o B a r r o s infogr a f i a Carlos Costa Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra ex eCuç ão gr á f iC a Europress iSBn 978-989-26-0105-2 depóSito l eg a l Obr a pu bl ic a da cOm O a p OiO de:

En las epopeyas griegas y romanas no percibimos tan sólo un mundo de héroes, sus múltiples aventuras y cómo entretienen su ocio entre batallas con relatos fabulosos; tampoco son solamente hombres, incluido el poeta épico, los que reme-moran momentos en los que el protagonismo corresponde a las mujeres. De hecho, en las epopeyas latinas que nos han llegado tienen tanta importancia las narraciones sobre mujeres en boca del autor como las que el poeta ha puesto en boca femenina. Va a ser, precisamente, a los relatos épicos en los que el autor ha confiado el peso de la narración a mujeres a los que nos referiremos, partiendo de la épica arcaica hasta la flavia y prestando atención de igual modo a la epopeya histórica, a la nacional y a la mitológica: la revelación del sueño de Ilia de Enio, las informaciones suministradas por Andrómaca y Venus con la apariencia de una joven tiria de Eneida, el relato de Íole a Alcmena de Metamorfosis, la ayuda de Baco narrada por Hipsípila en Tebaida y las palabras de Ana a Eneas en Punica. Analizaremos la relevancia de estos relatos para el contenido de cada poema así como su funcionalidad y valor estructural. Palabras clave — Épica latina, Mujer, intertexto FEMALE VOICES IN LATIN EPIC POETRY Abstract — Even if the Epic is held to be a male genre, it is clear that its contents are not limited to the Horatian res gestae regumque ducumque et tristia bella. In Greek and Roman epic poems we do not find only a world of heroes, with their many adventures and their fabulous tales to kill time between battles. It is not only men, including the 1 Este trabajo se inserta en el Proyecto FFI2008-03346 («Metamorfosis de Ovidio versus Ovidio Metamorfosis»), subvencionado por el MICInn, y es resultado del PI 08846 / PHCs / 08 («Literatura Latina y Mitografía y su proyección»), financiado con cargo al Programa
