| Abstract | |
The object of research is the study of the Tristia and the Epistulae ex Ponto, Ovid\'s poems of exile, a period that lasted until his death. In these works, the discursive construction of the topic of exile juxtaposes to the poetic reflection on his new situation as relegatus. This combination guides to the necessity of constructing the exiled persona\'s poetic authority, traceble throughout these two works. By analyzing the way in which the poet conceives exile, the questions that emerge are if and how the disruptive experience of exile, for a Roman poet like Ovid, leads to discursive strategies which allow him to propose himself as a modelic exiled poet. Based in the Ovidian poetic authority\'s assumption, I established three aspects to be analyzed. The first deals with the figure of the poeta exclusus as auctor. I will study the relationship of the poet with a) the construction of his memory in Rome; b) the reiteration of the poet\'s choice of the elegiac epistle genre\'s that enables him to close his poetic career giving prestige to the genre described by himself as ignotum opus (Ars 3.346); and c) the claim of the exiled persona as auctor and vates. The second aspect focuses on the figure of the poet as the centre of the myth of exile (CLAASSEN, 1988). Ovid builds the persona as a model of exile, an unquestionable authority on the subject. I will center on a) the characteristics of the poet as ethnographer of the region in which he is forced to live and b) the comparisons made by the poet between the exile persona and figures of the mythical tradition. The third and last aspect aims to examine the conflict between poetic authority and political authority, in particular, concerning the confrontation among the poet and the divus princeps and the domus Augusta.
