This common place appears in four works of Ovid (Ars amatoria, Metamorphoses, Fasti and Tristia); these works belong to different literary genres and production conditions. We will analyze these passages (Ars 1.435-436; Met. 8.533-535; Fast. 2.119-124; Tr. 1.5.53-56) in order to prove that Ovid’s use of this formula has a connecting function along the four works as well as guiding the reading: within the topic we notice a progression in the number of mouths that rises in each occurrence according to the chronological order of appearance of the works.  El tópico de las ‘cien bocas’ es considerado por la retórica como fórmula de inefabilidad y como expresión de modestia simulada. Este lugar común aparece en cuatro de las obras de Ovidio (Ars amatoria, Metamorphoses, Fasti y Tristia) que pertenecen a distintos géneros literarios y a distintas condiciones de producción. Analizaremos los pasajes (Ars 1.435-436; Met. 8.533-535; Fast. 2.119-124; Tr. 1.5.53-56) para comprobar que Ovidio usa esta fórmula con una función conectora entre las obras y orientadora de la lectura: dentro del tópico se advierte una gradación en el número de bocas que asciende en cada manifestación, en correspondencia con el orden cronológico de aparición de las obras.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2019-03-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/5956 10.34096/afc.v2i30.5956 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 2 Núm. 30 (2017); 161-175 2362-4841 0325-1721 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/5956/5288
