Overview
This volume contains Grant Showerman’s translation of Heroides and Amores. Heroides was the first poem of its kind, and is one of Ovid’s most significant works. The text is comprised of 15 epistolary poems Ovid wrote from the perspectives of famous heroines in Greek and Roman mythology, addressed to the lovers who mistreated them. Amores is Ovid’s first complete book of poetry, and playfully teases with the model of erotic elegy as it depicts the poet’s love affair.
