| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2506 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: In this course we will read select works of Ovid in the original Latin. Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BCE-17 CE) was a prolific and transgressive poet under the early Roman Empire, whose works span themes of love, myth, religion, and politics. From his early elegiac works to his great epic the Metamorphoses and his heartsick exile poetry, we will gain a detailed understanding of this larger-than-life figure. In this process, we will develop language fluency and an appreciation for Latin poetry, including its literary devices and meter. Also of interest are Ovid's cultural and historical context and his impact on art and poetry to the modern day.
