"Ovid's Metamorphoses" Brooks More, 1978
Born in 43 BCE, Ovid was a Roman poet best known for his works in mythology and love, including the "Metamorphoses." However, Ovid's writings, particularly "The Art of Love," were often criticized for their perceived corrupting influence on Roman women, teaching them techniques of seduction and infidelity. In 8 CE, Ovid was exiled by Emperor Augustus to Tomis, on the Black Sea, for reasons still shrouded in mystery. This abrupt exile deeply influenced his later works, adding a layer of poignancy to his mythological narratives. Owning this collectible edition allows you to journey through ancient myths while appreciating the craftsmanship of a bygone era. "Ovid's Metamorphoses" translated by Brooks More, captures the intricate tales of transformation, presented through Brooks More's poetic finesse.
