READING LATIN: Ovid’s Epistulae ex Ponto
The poetry that Ovid wrote after being sent to Tomis is a fascinating collection between personal insights, descriptions of Tomis and his life there . The latest poems the epistulae are written as a series of Letters to his friends and family. We are going to continue our study of these poems focusing on examples of the Ex Ponto letters from Book 4.
Newcomers are always welcome but should ensure that they are familiar with Latin Grammar and vocabulary at roughly A-level or beyond. Feel free to ask to come for a trial session if you are unsure.
Reading list:
Ex Ponto are available online as text and translation. However, I will be compiling a booklet of the text we will be working on, which I will distribute the middle of September, so there is no need to buy any additional material
