Per una riconsiderazione di Ov. Met. 3, 141-2: uno, nessuno e centomila Atteone

The narration of the episode of Actaeon in Ovid’s Metamorphoses is introduced by two verses (Met. III 141-142), in which – strangely enough for the Ovidian style in the poem – the narrative voice gives a judgement about the punishment inflicted by Diana on the innocent Actaeon. The article aims to explore three different hypotheses that can explain such unusual comment on the events: revision during the exile, interpolation, intertextual allusion to a different literary tradition, in which Actaeon was not so innocent.
