Ovid is possibly the most versatile of the Augustan poets, ranging from the light-hearted banter of the\u00a0Ars Amatoria to the regrets of the Tristia. But the best-known poem is probably the Metamorphoses, a collection of mythological stories that included the transformation of one of the protagonists.<\/p>\n
Known since the Middle Ages, these stories became the inspiration of much art and sculpture as well as G.B. Shaw’s Pygmalion.<\/p>\n
This term we will finish with the stories in Book X and then begin with Ovid\u2019s Heroides.<\/p>\n
Newcomers are always welcome,<\/strong>\u00a0but 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\u00a0if you are unsure.<\/p>\n Reading list:<\/strong> Day<\/strong>: Mondays \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Time<\/strong>: 14.00-15.30 BST Venue\/Virtual Learning Environment<\/strong> Series:<\/p>\n To book, complete the\u00a0MANCENT booking form<\/a> and send it with payment to the address below.
