Contentus vivere parvo. Times of easy life in the Elegy I, 1 of Tibullus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Tibullus contrasts in the Elegy I, 1 the life of soldier’s opulence with the life of farmer’s poverty. Bearing in mind what Fisher (1970), Gaisser (1983) and Galán (1998) had said, we propose that the Tibullus’s Elegy I, 1 (vv. 1-10, 25-28, 41-52 y 75-78) is structured through the wish of an easy country life in harmony with nature, and it is built based on the opposition with soldier’s life, with the repetition of words divitiae, aurus, adsiduus, securus, acervus, somnus, parvus, via and aqua.
