The echo in ecl . 6 : thoughts on a virgilian topic

Abstract

The theme of the echo in Virg. ecl. 6 is developed differently from the other eclogues. It is connected to mythical tales and the poet treats it with great stylistic elegance; these features seem to suggest a relationship of these occurrences with the poetry of Gallus and with a Callimachean taste. But they are in harmony with the structure of the whole book and this creates interesting correspondences with the occurrences of the theme in other poems of the collection.
