The role of the Trojan heroes in the Elegy III, 1. 25-32 of Propertius
Main Article Content
Abstract
After making a general comment on Elegy 3, 1 of Propertius, we focus on the almost final passage of the text (which, by the way, presents several textual difficulties that we analyze opportunely) in which the poet lists a series of Trojan heroes. Our hypothesis is that the choice of these heroes, particularly those named in verses 29 and 30, Deiphobus, Helenus, Polydamas and Paris, is based on the fact that the poet identifies with them and thus emphasizes his poetic program in this programmatic elegy.
