The image of the hunter going after the escaping prey and scorning that one caught, in an amatory context (the lover is the hunter going after the escaping beloved, leaving the woman he has already conquered), starts from Callimachus and goes to Cervantes, who probably should take it not from classical sources, but from Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso. The image offers different applications, depending on the authors who employ it.
