Tierra, cielo e inspiración: una lectura de tres pasajes de la Cueva Negra

Authors

  • Mª Concepción Fernández López

Abstract

The actual reading of the inscriptions in the Cueva Negra now allows their interpretation in relation to other texts, however admitting the possibility of errors in the fi rst transmission or copy. The texts 14 and 30 are commemorative-descriptive. In the fi rst the equinoctial orientation of the Cave is highlighted in its consecration, and in the second, the cheerfulness and salubrity of its waters, and the author congratulates and joyfully greets the Sodales. He signs with his poetic name, Heliconio, the same as Caonio, that heads another poem (III/1). These are based on epithets of the great heavenly gods Apollo and Jupiter (in Dodona), inspirers of the poets that compete in the Bucólica III of Virgil.
