Reviews
"Ovid's poem of erotic instruction addressed to the women of Rome is among his most significant and entertaining works, but its wide vocabulary and elegantly compressed syntax make it a challenging read. Christopher Brunelle's witty, illuminating, and concise commentary makes the text quickly accessible on every level, and provides constant stimulation while aiding comprehension."--Roy Gibson, The University of Manchester

Synopsis
In all of ancient literature there is nothing quite like the Ars Amatoria, Ovid's guide to seduction. He devotes Book 3 to teaching the women of Augustan Rome how to find, catch, and keep a male lover. Along with generous portions of wit and absurdity, his text contains a wealth of cultural references, highlighting Rome's architecture, theatres, gladiatorial spectacles, temples, baths, men's and women's clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, music, poetry-reading, letter-writing, games, slavery, parties, sexuality, and sex. This last and longest book of Ovid's most notorious work helps us see ancient Rome in a new light. Ars Amatoria Book 3 is the first volume in the Oxford Greek and Latin College Commentaries series.

- _***j (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis seller was fantastic. Not only is the item just as described, I had to cancel my first order because I accidentally used the wrong payment method. When I wrote her and told her I really wanted the item at the price she had offered me, this seller was kind enough to relist it and let me buy it at the lower price. Would buy from her again.Kingdom Of Ash Throne Of Glass Book 7 Sarah J Maas 2018 HC OOP Cover HCDJ NEW (#176997934526)
