Class Description:
This course is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students It will cover the poetry of Ovid, espcially the Metamorphoses. After briefly looking at some of earliest mythological poetry, at least two of the Heorides, we will work through the entire Metamorphoses in Latin (focusing on Books 1, 7, ad 10) and the rest in English The Latin readings will include the origins of the world, the deeds of the witch/goddess Medea, and the story and songs of Orpheus. Some attention will be paid to matters important to modern scholarship: Ovid's politics, the recurrence of rape narratives within his poems, and the reception of Ovid in later periods of history.
