Zusammenfassung

In this chapter, I shall argue that Calvino’s concept of ‘lightness’ will help us to better understand the poetological dimension of Ovid’s Tristia and their paradoxical features. In the first lecture of his Six Memos for the Next Millennium, Calvino illustrates his definition of lightness by employing the myth of Perseus: Perseus not only succeeds in killing the Medusa, but also uses her head to fight against his enemies. Furthermore, Medusa’s blood will bring forth Pegasus, a source of inspiration and creativity. In the myth of Perseus, lightness and weight are inextricably intertwined with each other. Re-reading the Tristia from the perspective of Calvino’s interpretation of the Perseus myth can demonstrate how Ovid employs the sadness in the Tristia as a technique of producing lightness and of re-entering the urban space from which he has been banished.
