Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
When Ovid decides to rewrite the Greek tale of Cephalus and Procris in the Metamorphoses, he is faced with a "literary vacuum" : he cannot count on any Latin model with which to measure himself, except for a brief quotation in the Aeneid of Virgil (6, 445) - and his own version of Procris in Ars amatoria. In light of this, his only option is to refer to the Greek sources of the myth or to other female archetypes (such as Dido). I argue that, among them, the poet focuses on a female iconic figure of the Roman tradition : Lucretia, who is particularly suited to embodying the ethic patterns of pudicitia, fides and castitas, that means the cultural categories he intends to reuse in re-shaping Procris' character. Therefore, this paper aims at emphasizing the role of Lucretia as 'hypo-character' of Procris (i.e. her reference mythic model) through a literary, cultural and intertextual analysis of Ov. met. 7, 700-865 and fast. 2, 721-856 in order to show how Ovid carries out a cultural translation of the myth and the main characters involved.
