This book investigates the complex reception of Terence in Ovid and
a number of allusions to the Terentian comedies in the love elegies
and the exilic elegiac epistle Tristia 2. The genres of Latin love
elegy and New Comedy are often seen as closely connected in
research, and one leading view is that Latin love elegy to a large
degree springs out of the comic genre. However, though both genres
are strongly rooted in social practise and presents interpersonal
relationships in a non-mythological, everyday setting, there are
also major differences between them. Marriage, for instance, is the
conventional goal for the young lover withing the comic genre,
whereas the elegiac lover should avoid it. Taking into account both
the similarities and the crucial differences between the comic
genre and Latin love elegy, and key elegiac topoi such as seruitium
amoris and militia amoris, this book demonstrates an intricate
connection between Ovid and Terence, and a complex nexus of
allusions that goes straight to the core of Ovid’s elegiac
authorship.
