Ovid uses the apple as a symbolic element to refer to the love stories of Cyddipe and Acontius, in Heroides 20 and 21, and those of Atalanta and Hippomenes, in Metamorphoses 10 (560-707). In both cases the union of the couples is caused by a trick or stratagem, whose trigger –the apple– conditions t...

Méndez, Abigail Luz Marina Manzana Mito Ovidio Ovid Myth Apple Deceit Intertextuality Ovid uses the apple as a symbolic element to refer to the love stories of Cyddipe and Acontius, in Heroides 20 and 21, and those of Atalanta and Hippomenes, in Metamorphoses 10 (560-707). In both cases the union of the couples is caused by a trick or stratagem, whose trigger –the apple– conditions the representation of the female figures. In this paper we will address the symbolic resignification of the apple in both myths, not only as a plot component, but also as a structural element of the Ovidian narratives. There, it has are an ambiguous value, since although it apparently stands for a love motive, it also becomes an object of deception –and/or submission– for the women who receive it. In this sense, we will consider the lexemes and syntagms through which the poet alludes to this fruit, and we will point out its possible intertextual links with other works of the classical tradition, in order to reveal those uses that are significant to this end. Ovidio utiliza la manzana como elemento simbólico para referir las historias amorosas de Cídipe y Aconcio, en las Heroidas 20 y 21, y de Atalanta e Hipómenes, en Metamorfosis (10.560-707). En ambos casos la unión de las parejas se produce a partir de un engaño o estratagema, cuyo detonante –la manzana–, condiciona las formas de representación de las figuras femeninas. En este trabajo abordaremos la resignificación simbólica de la manzana en la presentación de ambos mitos, no solo como componente argumental, sino también como parte estructural de las narraciones ovidianas, en tanto estrategia narrativa ambigua, ya que, si bien su significado responde aparentemente a un motivo amoroso, a su vez deviene objeto de engaño –y/o de sometimiento– para las mujeres que la reciben. En tal sentido, consideraremos los lexemas y sintagmas mediante los que el poeta alude a dicha fruta, y señalaremos sus eventuales vínculos intertextuales con otras obras de la tradición clásica, para relevar aquellos usos marcados que resulten significativos.
