Sobre la prosificación poética en la obra de Partenio: la carta-prefacio de los Ἐρωτικὰ Παθήματα

Abstract

The epistolary preface of the Ἐρωτικὰ Παθήματα cannot be interpreted literally without considering the motifs and rhetorical conventions of the prologues. The aim of this article is to offer an analysis of this brief passage from the programmatic assumptions of Hellenistic poetics, with special emphasis on those aspects that could be at the basis of the process of prosification of poetic texts in this period.
