| Summary: | Considering the autotextuality and the generic mixture in Ovid´'s works, this paper investigates the presence of precepts from Ars amatoria in two other Ovidian works that do not belong to the genre of didactic poetry: Canace´'s letter (Heroides 11) and Byblis´' episode (Metamorphoses 9.418-665). According to a particular passage from the Ars (1.283-288), I discuss its connections with the two other works in order to evince a self-reception process in Ovid´'s production, which gives new meanings to individual works when they are related. Thus, my purpose is to show how autotextual marks can become indications for a possible interpretative path and for the construction of an Ovidian hermeneutics. I argue that Ovidian poetry gives instructions on love and love elegy, but also teaches how to read and interpret Ovid´'s own works. |
