Ars oratoria and ars amatoria in Ovid's Heroides
Keywords:
ethos, pathos, Heroides, De oratoreAbstract
Most of the mythical women of Ovid's Heroides demonstrate their inexperience in the art of love, what leads to the inefficacy of their persuasive speeches. However, Hipermnestra, in the epistle XIV, shows to master the ars dicendi as well as the ars amandi. The aim of this paper is to analyze Hipermnestra´s persuasive speech and to point out that its construction corresponds, in general terms, to the parts of speech exposed in Cicero´s De oratore, with special emphasis on the not rational parts of the inventio -éthos and páthos-, proving a close relation between both arts.
