Eleonora Tola, « Ille ego sum lignum qui non admittar in ullum (Ov. Pont. I, 2, 33) ou l’écriture poétique à l’épreuve de l’exil », Vita Latina, ID : 10.3406/vita.2019.1904
In his exilic poems Ovid shapes a crisis of his poetic identity by reifying his literary practice with some autobiographical concerns. The poet of metamorphosis metrically associated the narration of his exile to his epistolary and erotic corpus. Tristia and Ex Ponto’s intratextual connections can be read as an invitation to reaffirmthe literary value of Ovid’s writing. From a stylistic approach, I show the crucial role of Ex Ponto in the study of Ovid’s dynamic of self-reception. This last collection simultaneously achieves the poet’s exilic works and his production as a whole.
