Description
Abstract
En las primeras ediciones y estudios consagrados a los Cynegetica de pseudo-Opiano se argumentaba que el poema
estaba incompleto; esta opinión se basaba principalmente en la promesa incumplida de III 404-6 y en la falta de un
epílogo. Dando por válidas esas razones, el presente artículo estudia, en primer lugar, el contenido de los libros II
y III, en los cuales se observan numerosos indicios de que el poeta conocía muchos más datos sobre la caza que los
expuestos en el libro IV. En segundo lugar, estas páginas prestan atención al marcado contraste que se aprecia entre
el esmerado proemio del libro IV y su abrupto final. Ambos aspectos, que anteriormente no habían sido apenas
tenidos en cuenta, permiten completar la argumentación a favor del estado inacabado de los Cynegetica.
From the first editions and studies about the Cynegetica of pseudo-Oppian it has been argued that the poem was incomplete; it was based on the broken promise of III 404-6 and on the lack of an epilogue. Considering these reasons as valid, this article first studies the content of the books II and III, in which it is possible to find many indications that the author knew much more about the theme of the book IV (the description of hunting) than he revealed. Next, we pay attention to the contrast between the careful proem of the book IV and its abrupt ending. Both aspects that have been scarcely considered before enable to show the shortcoming of the book IV.
