Abstract

The publication of P.GC. inv. 105 + P.Sapph. Obbink at the beginning of 2014, a new papyrus complementing fragments previously known of Sappho and transmitting new ones, has confirmed data from ancient sources about her brothers Charaxus and Larichus. One of these sources is the Heroid XV, composition in which Ovid, using biographical data of the poetess, imagined what Sappho could have written to her lover Phaon. The topic of the letter and its compositional characteristics are related to the ethopoeia and the suasoria, rhetoric exercises that were part of the Graeco-roman educational system and influenced the literary production of the period. This paper will present the new papyrus and examine how Ovid combined rhetoric elements learnt at the school with autobiographical data referred by Sappho in her work for the compositon of his elegiac poem.
