Considering that the epic genre has diverse species, this paper proposes to discuss how Propertius, elegiac poet of the 1st century BC., talks about each of the species and establishes different relations between them and the elegy practiced by him. For this, we analyze the last elegy of his second book (elegy 2.34) and a group of elegies from the beginning of the third book (elegies 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5), in which the poet establishes dialogue with some works of epic poetry, initially Virgil, but letting one glimpse the relation with each species, and with it gives us information that contributes to the understanding of both genres.
