Abstract
Abstract This article takes as its starting point the frequency with which Ovid refers to his earlier works in his Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto. Alongside his treatment of the Metamorphoses in the exile poetry, it is suggested that Ovid refers, on a number of occasions, to his Fasti and the progress he is making on it. He does so by using the incipit of his calendar poem, Tempora; this term is sometimes combined with signa (‘stars’), which are also mentioned in the opening couplet of the Fasti. It is proposed that Ovid's attitude toward his Fasti changes over the course of his exile, during which time he is, at various junctures, editing his calendar, and that some of these changes are discernible in the exile poetry; they result in part from his entertaining the possibility of using his Fasti as leverage in securing a mitigation of his punishment. Poems discussed in detail are Tristia 1.1, 1.7, 2.547–52, 5.3; Epistulae ex Ponto 2.1, 4.8.
本文以奥维德在他的《三论》和《论论》中提及其早期作品的频率为出发点。除了他在流放诗中对《变形记》的处理,有人认为奥维德在很多场合都提到了他的《法斯蒂》以及他在这方面取得的进展。他使用了他的日历诗《时间》的开头;这个术语有时与符号(“星星”)结合在一起,这也在法斯蒂的开头对联中提到。有人提出,奥维德对他的法斯蒂的态度在他流亡的过程中发生了变化,在此期间,他在不同的时刻,编辑他的日历,这些变化中的一些在流亡诗歌中是可以看出的;部分原因是他考虑到有可能利用他的法斯蒂作为筹码,以确保减轻对他的惩罚。详细讨论的诗歌有:Tristia 1.1, 1.7, 2.547-52, 5.3;Epistulae ex Ponto 2.1, 4.8。
