Abstract: This article aims to explore how Hosidius Geta integrates lines of Vergil’s Eclogues and Georgics into his tragedy Medea, written in the form of a cento. I will try to show that Geta arranged the bucolic and georgic material in such a way that it works in a tragic text without generic dissonance. Departing from textual analysis of ll. 131-138 and 250-259 of the cento, I have sought to build on textual evidence to pinpoint how Geta used certain excerpts from the Eclogues and the Georgics and to explore the generic enrichment embedded in the reuse of these poems.
Questo studio analizza il modo in cui Osidio Geta rielabora alcuni versi delle Ecloghe e delle Georgiche di Virgilio nel suo centone Medea. Si mostrerà come Geta ha disposto il materiale virgiliano in modo tale che i differenti generi letterari potessero coesistere in modo armonioso. A partire da un’analisi testuale dei vv. 131 138 e 250-259 del centone, si propone dunque una ricostruzione della tecnica adottata da Geta nel riuso delle Ecloghe e delle Georgiche, mettendo in luce l’arricchimento di significati che inevitabilmente deriva da un simile riuso del testo poetico virgiliano.
