Abstract
This is an article about the literary topic called sagitta amoris, which consists of an analysis of the metaphorical construction of the process of making of the topic and the peculiarity that the Roman elegiac poet Propertius brings to the same one. The metaphor, like figure of speech, moves the sense of the primitive term and creates the new one. From this metaphorical aspect, the analysis is faced in detailing which is the main contribution of the poet to the topic of the “bowshot of love”, already established from the archaic Greek poetry.References
