The elegy Amores III 5: possible indication of Ovid's perfectionism
Abstract
For a long time there have been authors who have been discussing whether the Amores 3.5 elegy was composed by Ovid or not, but it continues to be edited as if it were authentic. On the other hand, other texts with similar problems have been eliminated because editors consider them spurious and there is no established protocol followed by all philologists. In this work, the circumstances surrounding Ovid's work and this elegy are analyzed and it is noted that for the moment it is difficult to reach a definitive conclusion about its authorship, but it could be an indication of the poet's perfectionism.
