• Resumen

  • In the Heroides VII, Ovid rereads the Didonis fabula and takes up again and develops themes of the Aeneid 4th book, changing them into argumenta in order to discourage the epistula addressee from leaving (according to the rhetorical precepts’ genus deliberativum). This rewrite derives from cultural and anthropological models, and its original issues lie, in particular, both in the shipwreck’s motif meant as punishment on guilty of love perjury, and in the hint at pregnancy as guarantee of a physical relationship with the lover.
