IL MOTIVO DEL 'VERBERARE PUELLAM' NEGLI ELEGIACI LATINI
No full textViolence against women is a theme that with sad frequency daily fills the news columns; however, stories of abused women are not a sign of the degeneration of today’s society alone, for they are attested in literature of every age that clearly illustrate terrible situations in real life. The subject of violence against women has ancient origins, going back at least as far as Menander’s Perikeiromene, its literary influence being documented not only in theatre plays comedy, but also in other literary genres, from elegy to Late epistolography and epigrammatic. Particularly in Latin elegy, the verberatio to the injury of the beloved may be totally gratuitous (Ov. Am. 1,7) or enacted by Love (Tib. 1,10). However, the elegies we have studied show that in most cases it is jealousy that arouses violence. If, besides being jealous, the man is drunk, then violence becomes overwhelming and desperate. In the complex articulation of Latin elegy, it is not surprising that the motif of violence against women converges with erotic instruction and becomes a true praeceptum meant to ‘lighten’ the pockets of the unfortunate lover
