Propertiusa (TM) Elegies are among the most original products of
Latin literature. Understanding the poems, however, is complicated
by the idiosyncratic language and forms of composition on the one
hand and the defective transmission of the texts on the other. The
most striking stylistic characteristics are the bold use of
metaphor and the combining of often disparate images. The study
examines this central aspect and demonstrates that the boldness is
not due to the vagaries of textual transmission but can be traced
back to Propertius himself.
