Course description

In this course students read selections from Ovid's Metamorphoses in Latin while reading the entire poem in English. We examine the artistry of Ovid's Latin and consider the ways in which the poet engaged with his Greek and Roman predecessors from Euripides to Virgil. We also explore the poem's unique influence on literature and art from Rome to the Renaissance and beyond.
