A short discussion of the verbal-metrical links between Ovid, trist. 3, 3, 51-66 with, on the one hand, contemporary elegists and, on the other, Republican authors of epic and didactic poetry (Ennius, Lucretius). The recognition of a close intertextual link between rer. nat. 1, 122 and trist. 3, 3, 59, while not providing conclusive proof, suggests that, in dictating utinam pereant animae cum corpore nostrae, Ovid had in mind a verse of Lucretius in the form in which it is transmitted by the Carolingian manuscripts (i.e. neque permaneant animae neque corpora nostra) and not the humanistic variant permanent, which is the reading that has been preferred by most editors and commentators in recent decades.

Abstract

A short discussion of the verbal-metrical links between Ovid, trist. 3, 3, 51-66 with, on the one hand, contemporary elegists and, on the other, Republican authors of epic and didactic poetry (Ennius, Lucretius). The recognition of a close intertextual link between rer. nat. 1, 122 and trist. 3, 3, 59, while not providing conclusive proof, suggests that, in dictating utinam pereant animae cum corpore nostrae, Ovid had in mind a verse of Lucretius in the form in which it is transmitted by the Carolingian manuscripts (i.e. neque permaneant animae neque corpora nostra) and not the humanistic variant permanent, which is the reading that has been preferred by most editors and commentators in recent decades.
