In this paper a poem by Juan de Iriarte, the Epistola Sosae ad sodales is studied. It is a piece from the writer's youth, which must be interpreted in the light of the concept of the typical literary genres of the era, especially that of the heroides and the elegy. The heroides, understood as being a heroic epistle, was fully acclimatized as literary genre in modern literature and it had features that associated it with elegy, but also others that singled it out.
