The Epilogue discusses Ovid’s reception in the Middle Ages, in order to recapitulate the main theoretical approaches of the book. Ovid’s jurisprudence of love had a major impact on Forcadel’s Cupido Jurisperitus and Boccaccio’s Decameron. Within the long tradition of Ovidian receptions, the current trend to simultaneously study and marginalize legal discourse in Ovid is anomalous. The brief discussion of the juridico-discursive reception of Ovid will hopefully open new avenues not only in Ovidian studies, but also in the field of law and literature.

Ioannis A Ziogas
This chapter studies the correspondence between Acontius and Cydippe (Heroides 20–1). The main argument is that Ovid highlights the fundamental confluence of the love letter with legal correspondence. The discussion ranges widely through comparative material from contemporary Latin elegy (Propertius in particular) to its intertextual matrix (Callimachus’ Aetia), in order to spell out the dependence of both poetry and law on precedent. Core aspects of Heroides 20–1, such as the materiality of the text, iterability, performativity, and intertextuality show that the invention of love is inextricably related to the invention of law. The chapter further investigates the triangulated relations between magic spells (carmina), love poetry (carmina), and legal statements. In its historical context, the crucial role of epistolography in the production and communication of laws in the Roman Empire is important for understanding the legal force of Ovid’s love letters.
