Its verses have attracted especially nowadays the interest of numerous scholars who have tried to affiliate the images of the poem to one or another author and/or ideology during the first three centuries of our era. In this chapter, we will be focused on some problems that the section ATh 111.63-113.97 raises, where the meaning of the robe and its metaphorical union with the protagonist are of paramount importance in order to understand the intention and framework of the whole poem.
