Description

Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the most popular, enduring, and entertaining works of classical antiquity, among the most imitated poems in the Middle Ages, and a primary source for classical myth today. Chances are that if you've heard a “Greek” myth, you actually know the version by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC – 17/18 CE). In this course we'll explore Ovid's poetic myth-making, what the poem reveals about the Roman take on Greek myths, and Ovid's special place in the pantheon of Latin poets.
