"This volume focuses on the great Roman love poet Propertius. Propertius' poetry reveals an ardent love affair between the poet and his girlfriend, whom he calls 'Cynthia', yet it also offers a snapshot of life in ancient Rome during the Augustan age (circa 20s BCE). While this was a period of growth and revival after the crippling civil wars of the previous century, it was also a time when Rome was adjusting to a new form of government under its first emperor. 'Oxford Readings in Classical Studies: Propertius' is the first volume on Propertius' poetry to bring together some of the best and most influential scholarship written during the last three decades and put them into dialogue with each other. The articles discuss the recent developments in Propertius scholarship, as well as major critical approaches that have emerged in classical studies in general, and look at issues of text, intertextuality, gender, and the social and political context of Propertius' work"--Publisher's description, back cover.

Die Arbeit ist die erste umfassende Studie über den properzischen Metapherngebrauch, der bereits Hertzberg als wichtigstes Merkmal der eigenwilligen Sprache des Dichters galt. Nach einer Einführung in die antike und moderne Metapherntheorie werden zahlreiche Aspekte uneigentlichen Sprechens und von Bildersprache im weiteren Sinne in den Elegien des Properz beleuchtet, darunter Vergleiche, Priameln, Sprichwörter, Allegorien, mehrstufige Verfremdungen (Metalepsen), Euphemismus und Drastik, Periphrasen. Ferner werden die verschiedenen Formen der Interaktion von Metaphern und Metonymien mit der Realebene untersucht, u. a. das Phänomen der ,Intrusion', Zeugmata und Amphibolien, verschiedene Identitätsstufen von Gottheiten, kühne Brachylogien und Synästhesien. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Analyse der Metaphernkontaminationen und der oft assoziativ verknüpften Metaphernfelder; dabei werden v. a. die nach alexandrinischer Manier besonders symbolreichen programmatischen Elegien der Bücher II-IV in den Blick genommen. Es zeigt sich, dass viele Kühnheiten, die in der modernen Properzforschung gerne mit dem Mittel der Konjekturalkritik beseitigt werden, dem originellen Sprach- und Stilempfinden des Properz zuzuschreiben sind.

The bond between love and death has long been recognised as a defining characteristic of the elegies of Propertius, but scholars have rarely clarified how or to what degree Propertius differed from other love poets in associating these themes. In this book, Dr Papanghelis traces the radical way in which Propertius dealt with amorous and morbid fantasies in his poems. He argues that the modes of erotic expression used in the elegies are fundamentally unconventional, to the point that the definitions of love and death are interdependent. This book offers a detailed reading of some of the most stimulating and problematic of Propertius' elegies, offering fresh insight on the question of the poet's sensuous temperament and the significance of the love-death relationship in his works.
