Table of ContentsReviewsThis innovative study offers the first scholarly investigation specifically devoted to Ovid's reception of the Homeric poems across the breadth of his Latin poetry - from Ovid's earliest amatory poems through the erotodidactic corpus into the works of his maturity, the Metamorphoses and Fasti, all the way to the exile poetry. The volume will be of interest to students not only of Homer and Ovid, but also of the reception of classical mythology and of the sophisticated artistic and critical traditions their works inform. --Alison Keith, University of Toronto Surprisingly, this is the first book to tackle comprehensively the presence of Homeric poetry in the works of Ovid. The very conception of the topic is a major strength. Barbara Boyd, one of our best Ovidian critics, has complete control of the texts, and she brilliantly deploys her fine interpretive skills in examining the reception of Homer in Ovid. --Richard F. Thomas, Harvard University Author InformationBarbara Weiden Boyd is Henry Winkley Professor of Latin and Greek at Bowdoin College.
