Course Description

Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BC to AD 17 or 18) began his epic poem on the theme of changes about AD 2, and finished it in exile. The poem has pleased and informed Western readers and poets since its first appearance. Ovid’s retelling and modification of the myths of ancient Greece and Rome was read through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as a collection of stories, and, from the 16th Century, began to be appreciated as a source of innovative poetic principles. It has been said that “The Metamorphoses is like no poem written before it, although virtually everything in it can be found elsewhere.” (This is the third quarter of a three-quarter sequence).
