Abstract: This article examines Dante's allusion in the opening lines of Purgatorio to Ovid's account in the Metamorphoses of the song contest between the Muses and the Pierides. It argues that the Ovidian episode's pervasive concern for transition, seen in its many embedded and digressive tales, informs and amplifies Dante's negotiation of the textual border between Inferno and Purgatorio . In particular, it claims that the nymph Arethusa, whose journey from the underworld to 'see the stars again' occupies the lowest level of embedded narration in Ovid's poem, serves as an important but hitherto unacknowledged model for the pilgrim's arrival in Purgatory.
