Historical and Literary Analyses

In Prop. 2, 1, 3-4 a reply to the verses 6-7 of Gallus can be recognized: in the Propertian text the poetic inspiration comes to the love elegist not from the Muses, but from the puella. The polemical attitude of Propertius towards Gallus is not only here, but also at 2, 13, on the theme of the domina iudex. Ovid will follow Propertius in making the puella the only inspiration for his poetry.
