Descrizione:This article analyzes, based on Aristotle's rhetorical proofs or pisteis, ethos, pathos, and logos, the treatment of Gaius Valerius Catullus, a Roman poet from the 1st century BC, towards women whose sexual behaviors do not follow the guidelines established by the Roman given word (fides) and modesty (pudicitia). It is proposed that the relationship between authority and authorship in the meaning of auctoritas shows a link between rhetoric, symbolic violence and poetic literary composition. Of the Aristotelian pisteis analyzed in the poems of Catullus, ethos is presented as the most recurrent proof. Through censorship or vilification, female stereotypes are presented, especially of a sexual nature against women.
