Abstract
summary:
This paper examines how Ovid manipulates the elegiac trio of love, art, and disease/wounding/medicine. In particular, it argues that the stories told by, to, and about Cephalus and Procris in the Ars Amatoria and Metamorphoses reify the clichés of elegy, showing art—like love—to be both deadly and salvific. These themes parallel the affairs of Apollo and the poet's own narrative autobiography.
