The tree catalogue (10, 90 - 106) in Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' is a piece hardly yielding to interpretation. Inherently relating to the motives of Book 10, it anticipates the main themes of the song of Orpheus and builds upon the tradition of 'ekphrasis' and 'locus amoenus'. The botanical names refer to particular narratives, making by this way for the basic unity of the text. The catalogue, itself a representative of the literary approaches, artistic style and horticulture of the urbanitas, can be read as the manifestation of a new theory of art that redefines the relationship of ars and natura. A reconstruction of the conceptual development of 'mimesis' may lead to a better understanding of the tree catalogue and of the whole epic. At the same time, it may also bring contribute to a profound comprehension of the theory of art, either implied or overtly expressed in 'Metamorphoses', without seeking for the concepts of contemporary literary criticism.

In the archaic era of Greek culture music and poetry were inseparably combined. However, over the ages this connection has been loosened to be finally broken. In the Augustan period the memory of musical past echoes in the poetry, of which an extensive collection is found in the writings of Ovid. The poet frequently refers to Greek musical experience from which he derives a multitude of examples, motives and similes. The most prominent feature of the references to music is symbolism which is revealed in numerous mythological contexts in a metaphoric depiction. The selected myths present the origin of music such as invention of musical instruments or contests between most celebrated musicians.

Ovid became one of the most famous poets at the court of Octavian Augustus, but his poetry treated about topics different from Horace’s or Vergil’s one. He did not want to write pro-government elegies as the other great poets did. Even though he was exceptionally talented, it did not protect him from exile, because he was in bad relations with Octavian Augustus and the emperor did not like poetry written by Ovid. In any case, his tragic situation turned out to be very interesting for worldwide literature. In his elegies and poetic letters, which were written during Ovid’s exile in Tomis, Ovid made a portrait of auto-mythologization with lots of elements which are invoked in works of other poets, especially in romantic poetry written by Gustaw Zieliński.

The article examines patterns of comedy in Ovid's Am. 1.11-12 showing that the character of Naso is in fact depicted as a comic iuvenis talking to his mistress's slave Nape, who plays the role of serva callida and that both poems contain elements of verbal as well as visual comedy.

WHAT DID PAN SAY TO SYRINX? ETYMOLOGY IN OVID, METAMORPHOSES, I,698–712

In the Metamorphoses’ account of Syrinx’ transmogrification Michalopoulos’ canonical Lexicon posits two jeux étymologiques: syrinx is being duly derived from Syrinx, while at the same time Ovid is etymologizing calami from calare in the alleged sense of fundere voces. The object of the present paper is to argue that here calami is instead being etymologized as the homonymous cala mi: “loosen your vagina for me”. This is what megalophallic Pan fittingly says to virgin Syrinx, when he tries to rape her. It is also the apt etymon of the “reeds” into which she is in consequence metamorphosed. This interpretation would moreover appear to shed light on a number of problems in the text.

The allegorical conception of the bucolic genre that became general in Nero's time led to a simplification compared to Vergil's complex art of creating symbols. Calpurnius overcame the limits of a mere reproductive imitation exactly by making use of the possibilities of pastoral allegory; in Corydon's figure he painted a bitterly self ironic picture of his own efforts to establish himself, of the controversies of patronage and the miserable situation of poets. In 'Eclogue IV' he does not only reverse the lines of allusions from Vergil, Ovid and other poets but also key concepts of the Augustan age such as 'rusticitas', 'paupertas', 'simplicitas', 'vates' and thus confronts his own age with its deficiency in view of the idealised rule of Augustus. The 'carmen amoebeum' exalts the Golden Age of Nero, which has often been analysed separately from the narrative frame as a document of uninhibited 'adulatio', can gain its full meaning only in this context.

Arguing from a critical reading of the text, and scientific evidence on the ground, the authors show that the myth of Phaethon - the delinquent celestial charioteer - remembers the impact of a massive meteorite that hit the Chiemgau region in Bavaria between 2000 and 428 BC.
