Ovid, Metamorphoses, sphragís, metempsychosis, apotheosis, HoraceAbstract
Ovid’s prediction of his own immortality in the sphragís of the Metamorphoses has been understood as a last transformation comparable, for its dualism, to metempsychosis and apotheosis. Yet an inquiry on the causes of these processes permits to highlight the specificity of literary durability, which is a product of the favor of the readers and not of a natural law, like metempsychosis, or of a gift of the gods, like apotheosis.
