Space is an ambiguous zone between chaos and cosmos, a natural producer of myths. The
poetry of space in Eclogae by Virgil is an escape from the routine and the limits of reality,
projection of dreams or a simple ludus, to seduce the reader surrounding him with a horizon of
expectations oscollating between locus amoenus and locus horrendous.
The painting of this plural space represents the a symbiology of human life between
euphoria and disphoria: mythic space (Ecl. III, VI, VII, IX), utopian and messianic space (Ecl.
IV), harmonic and “epithalamic” space (Ecl. III, VIII), lyric and love space (Ecl. II), elegiac space
(Ecl. V, X), satirical and unhappy space (Ecl. I, III, IX, X).
