Abstract

ROMERO, María Eugenia. Serv. Ecl. 6. 3: en torno de la paráfrasis cum canere vellem. Argos [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.2, pp.75-91. ISSN 1853-6379.

This paper focuses on the connotations and grounds of the paraphrase cum canere vellem in Serv. Ecl. 6. 3. The analysis of the sense of verb volo within this context, as well as the confrontation between that passage and Serv. Ecl. 6. 5, show that Servius interprets the clause cum canerem reges et proelia as a reference to Virgil's early endeavor to compose an epic poem, from which he shortly desisted. This interpretation is conditioned by the idea that the chronological sequence Eclogues - Georgics - Aeneid has a hierarchical correlate, an idea which is founded on biographical information and the theory of tripertita varietas.

Keywords : Servius; Eclogues, 6. 3; Cum canere vellem; Tripertita varietas; Grammaticus.
