| Research Abstract |
The subject of the study was the poetical theory of Propertius (ca. 50 B.C.- ca. 16 B.C.) as expressed through his poetry. The Callimachean theory that aims at the production of carefully crafted short poems represented the mainstream of Hellenistic poetry.Since Propertius presents himself in his poems as a champion of Callimachean aesthetics, there has been an excessive tendency among scholars to emphasize his avoidance of epic poetry. While confirming Propertius' adherence to Callimachean aesthetics, the present study has also brought to light his high esteem of Homeric poems, as evidenced in particular by the homage paid to Homer's work in the Fourth Book of his Elegies (the seventh and the eighth elegies),and has elucidated the way in which Propertius has brilliantly united the two different genres of love elegy and epic poetry.
