Sažetak
Even though scholars are yet to agree on the authorship of the epistolary collection Erotic Letters, it is usually ascribed to Aristaenetus and was probably written in 5th or 6th ct. AD. The letters of the Collection depict mostly extramarital affairs (with hetairai, slaves or married women), often accompanied by conflicts fuelled by (sometimes justified) jealousy or either partner’s lack of interest due to better offers: e.g. a hetaira lands a richer client, a client is seduced by a younger or better-looking girl etc. Therefore, most reconciliation efforts in the Letters are in fact lovers’ attempts to either get back together and improve their relationship or to end it, in a civilised manner or otherwise. The focus of my research is the analysis of the protagonists’ reconciliation strategies (verbal persuasion, letter-writing, the use of male or female mediators etc.) and their effectiveness. The final goal is: - to point out the most common reconciliation methods employed - to investigate whether or not men and women use similar methods - to check which gender is more likely to choose indirect reconciliation methods, such as the use of mediators or writing and sending letters - to examine which gender is generally more successful at reconciliation (and to explain why is that so) - to estimate the success rate of all reconciliation attempts in the Collection and - to assess the effect of their success/failure on the overall atmosphere of the Collection (optimistic/pessimistic).
