Esempi di lessico tragico nelle elegie di Tibullo e loro funzione

This article provides examples taken from some of Tibullus’ elegies which present references, for the most part formal, to expressions and vocabulary typical of archaic Latin tragedy. A comparison of the various passages examined reveals that Tibullus’ elegies most influenced by these suggestions are those which, by their nature, present a celebratory context and therefore require a high style.
