O erotismo nos poemas 1.1 e 1.4 de Tibulo

Abstract

We intend to analyze the elocution of poems 1.1 and 1.4 from the first book called corpus tibullianum. These poems develop erotic theme towards Delia (a woman), while the second, towards Marathus (a boy). The formal analysis of the elocution of Tibullus (c. 55-19 a.C.) poems is the foundation for the discussion about aspects of this issue. In order to accomplish our goals, we use as theoretical corpus mainly Ad Herennium, from unknown author, Manual de Retórica Literária, from Lausberg, and commentaries about Tibullus poems from Maltby and Putnam. This research is important because it is necessary that the elocution of the text is analyzed so that we can discuss about the content of Latin poems, since the disposition of the words throughout the verse and the use of figures of speech are in accordance with the content of the poem. Tibullus usually mime the content of the poems through the disposition of the words in order to intensify the erotic content inside his poems. Therefore, content (res) and form (uerba) make up together an image. In brief, we intend to moot the refined erotic elocution of Tibullus.
