Lacrimabilis arbor Petrarca, Nápolyi Endre és a Római epikus költészet
Lacrimabilis arbor Petrarca, Andrew of Naples and Roman epic poetry

Summary/Abstract: So far, no separate study has been published on Petrarch’s eclogue entitled Argus, although it is probably the earliest piece of his Bucolicum carmen. Concerning the ancient models of the eclogue, researchers have almost exclusively dealt with the influence of Virgil’s pastoral poetry, and have barely analyzed the conspicuously high number of epic allusions, the influence of Ovid, Statius and Claudianus. However, this one sidedness may easily result in less well-founded interpretations. The present study attempts to interpret the structure of the poem and its complex symbolism in view of the extensive exploration of the allusions.
