Notwithstanding the focalization in Ovid's Heroides on love, one may also identify a consistent emphasis on death, as the letters grow to become a literary refuge for women who experience loss as well as physical and social isolation. Death plays a decisive role in the portrayal of the female writers as sympathetic victims. The fictionalization of death acts as a means of persuasion also for the poet, who situates his text against the background of Augustan politics. Writing about the art of death enables Ovid to implicitly defend the artists who had been defeated and violently silenced by power and renders his work an indispensable rhetorical tool for their literary survival.
ABSTRACT: Declamation, the exercise on a fictive forensic or deliberative situation practised in the schools of rhetoric, became popular in the Augustan Era. Its influence on literature can be noticed: Ovid, above all, is not free from its style and language. Seneca, the Elder (Contr. 2.2.8-12), for example, gives a testimonial of Ovid's activities as a declamator. Therefore this paper discusses the Heroides IV, an epistle that belongs to one of Ovid´s most rhetorical works, in the light of the declamatory genre, focusing on style, like the use of sententiae, and other thematic and structural similarities.

Greek students of Classics may no longer deplore the scarcity of secondary literature on Latin in their native language. Even though recently published work is focused mostly on Augustan poetry, it undoubtedly represents a substantial contribution both to Greek and international scholarship. This is the case with this generous volume, which provides a translation and a full literary and textual commentary on the single epistles of Ovid's Heroides (Her. 1–15).
