Resumo: This article proposes to discuss the construction of the elegiac persona in Propertius, starting from the understanding of what elegiac love would be and how the elegiac poets had a systematic elaboration to sing about this feeling. For this system to work, two characters were fundamental: the passionate lover and a beloved woman, here, Propertius and Cynthia, respectively. The creation of these characters results in what Paul Veyne presents as an “elegiac game”, this game is fundamentally anchored in the notion ofpersona and mainly in verisimilitude and rhetorical sincerity. Therefore, the elegiac game is guided by the ambiguous relationship between what appears to be real and what is certainly fictional, and this is configured solely as a matter of style necessary for the systematics of elegiac love to take effect. In this way, both Propertius and Cynthia can be read as  personae and poetic artifice.

Para que este sistema funcionasse dois personagens eram basilares: o amante apaixonado e uma amada, aqui, Propércio e Cíntia, respectivamente. A criação destes personagens resulta no que Paul Veyne apresenta como “jogo elegíaco”, este jogo ancora-se fundamentalmente na noção de persona e principalmente na verossimilhança e na sinceridade retórica. Portanto, o jogo elegíaco é pautado pela relação ambígua entre o que parece ser real e o que certamente é ficcional, e isto se configura unicamente como uma questão de estilo necessária para que a sistemática do amor elegíaco vigorasse. Dessa forma, tanto Propércio como Cíntia podem ser lidos como personae e artifício poético.Proaera-UFRJ2024-03-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/5890810.25187/codex.v11i2.58908CODEX - Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 11 n. 2 (2023): Publicação contínua; e112202303CODEX - Revista de Estudos Clássicos; Vol. 11 No. 2 (2023): Publicação contínua; e1122023032176-177910.25187/codex.v11i2reponame:Codex : Revista de Estudos Clássicosinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)instacron:UFRJporhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/58908/40239Copyright (c) 2024 Laura Danielly de Souza Coutohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCouto, Laura Danielly de Souza2024-03-09T19:29:31Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/58908Revistahttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/indexPUBhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/oaicodex@letras.ufrj.br||codex@letras.ufrj.br||biadipaoli@gmail.com2176-17792176-1779opendoar:2024-03-09T19:29:31Codex : Revista de Estudos Clássicos - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)false
