%X Among the many varied creaturesthat appear inthe Epigramsbythe Latin poet Marcus Valerius Martialis(1st c.A.D.), we find acharacter who jumps from one verse to another as a spectator, performer, traveller, lover or guest: this is precisely the character of the Reader, whose act of reading is a continuous metamorphosis, since the–dynamic, never static–immortality of the poet of Bílbilis, who will return to a new life with each reinterpretation, depends  on  the  fact  that ‘reading’remains  a  verb  in  constant  execution.  Thus,  the  great dynamism with which Martial conceives the act of reading, always with the creative force of the metaphor, leads us to frame our interpretation of his poems in the theory of speaking as energeiadeveloped by Eugenio Coseriu, as well as in the current postulates of Ana Agud's Critical Theory of Linguistics and Language.
