The elegy of Propertius 3.6 begins by talking to Lygdamus through whom the poet disputes with Cynthia. Heyworth & Morwood cites A.P.7.524 (13Pf), 5.46 as a similar structure, yet I also consider that A.P.5.6, 5.52 have a connection with his poems and I observe the parallel between these poems in this paper. Although Heyworth & Morwood has already pointed out A.P.5.46 about conversational poem, I will see the connection with 5.101 as well.
The motif of Propertius’ poems and epigrams of Greek Anthology are ‘oaths’, which are found out empty. Oaths originally should be protected but they often turned out to be ’empty’ in erotic verses. Heyworth & Morwood has already pointed out that the structure of Propertius 3.6 is strange, we can see some conversational epigrams. There is a possibility that Propertius referred to these kinds of epigrams and composed elegies. But if it is true, Propertius composed his own elegies while incorporating into these epigrams. Propertius 3.6 put a slave Lygdamus into words exchanged with Cynthia, though not a direct exchange. Propertius speaks to Lygdamus, but there is no scene of making the letter’s own remark. Here, the role of Lygdamus is not just leaving messages to both sides, but also he has the role in making their dialogue much closer.
