BECHET FLORICA - The Colors of Exile (pag. 9-22)
This study deals with the inventory and the analysis of the color terms in Ovid’s exile poems, with the aim to determine their function and their symbolical meanings. I found two categories of color terms: one which represents Rome and another one which represents the exile. From a linguistic point of view as well as from a poetic one, there is a great difference between these two categories that our study tries to discuss.
