Works of Ovid and Horace brings together two of Latin literature’s most influential poets. As two of Latin literature’s three canonical poets—included with Virgil—Ovid and Horace each had a tremendous impact not only on Latin literature and culture that followed, but on the world of literature as a whole. Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a mythological history of the world, which has been regarded as one of the most influential poems in history. Horace’s witty, yet serious poems were wildly successful in his time, and have remained popular studies throughout history.
