One of the founding texts of Western literature, the Metamorphoses is nevertheless anything but earnest or off-putting. Ovid's sequence of fifteen witty and playful poems sketches the history of the world from its creation to the poet's own time through a series of transformation myths in which gods and goddesses succumb to all-too-human passions, not least in the matter of love. Frequently translated, imitated and paraphrased.

The theme of the Metamorphoses is change and transformation, as illustrated in Graeco-Roman myth and legend. On this ostensibly unifying thread Ovid strings together a vast and kaleidoscopic sequence of brilliant narratives, in which the often paradoxical and always arbitrary fates of his human and divine characters reflect the never-ending flux and reflux of the universe itself. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Bringing together a series of ingeniously linked myths and legends, Ovid''s deliciously witty and poignant Metamorphoses describes a magical world in which men and women are transformed - often by love - into flowers, trees, animals, stones and stars. First published in 1567, this landmark translation by Arthur Golding was the first major English edition of the epic, which includes such tales as the legend of Narcissus; the parable of Icarus; and the passion held by the witch-queen Circe for the great Aeneas. A compelling adaptation that used imagery familiar to English sixteenth-century society, it powerfully influenced Spenser, Shakespeare and the character of Elizabethan literature.

A bold, transformative new translation of Ovid''s classicOvid''s epic poem has, with its timeless stories, inspired and influenced generations of writers and artists, from Shakespeare and Chaucer to Picasso and Ted Hughes. The events it describes - the flight of Icarus, the music of Orpheus, Perseus'' rescue of Andromeda, the fall of Troy - speak toward the essence of human experience: of power, of fate and, most fundamentally, of transformation.Stephanie McCarter''s new rendering, the first female translation in over sixty years, places its emphasis on the sexual violence at the heart of the poem - nearly fifty of the epic''s tales involve the rape or attempted rape of women. While past translations have often obscured or mitigated this fact, expressing Ovid''s language in consensual terms, McCarter considers it explicitly, and so offers a powerful new exploration of this essential work.

Ovidius je básník, který nestárne, poněvadž nestárne ani láska, kterou opěvuje. Proto takový zájem o jeho dílo. Nesmrtelnost a slávu po všechny budoucí věky si předpověděl Ovidius sám v závěrečných verších svého monumentálního díla Proměny. Ba dokonce se mýlil v stanovení hranic své proslulosti: jeho dílo oslňuje svou krásou nejen básníkovu rodnou Evropu, jejíž veliká část byla kdysi pod římskou mocí - ale i všechny ostatní světadíly a jeho nevšednímu umění se podivují vědci, právě v díle Ovidiově. Po dvou tisíciletích je jeho dílo tak živé, jako by je psal pro současné čtenáře. Ovidiovo umění zrálo v Římě, který byl tehdy středem celé kulturní Evropy a pokladnicí všeho, co vytvořily ruce Mistrů. Proto se nedivíme, že se Ovidius po svých studijních cestách vrátil trvale do Říma, kde žil až do svých jednapadesáti let, než musel nastoupit smutnou cestu do vyhnanství. Musel se rozloučit s kultivovanou společností, která ho svým uměleckým ruchem zcela uchvátila. A Ovidius nebyl jen jejím němým pozorovatelem a posluchačem.

"Vivam" is the very last word of Ovid''s masterpiece, the Metamorphoses: "I shall live." If we''re still reading it two millennia after Ovid''s death, this is by definition a remarkably accurate prophecy. Ovid was not the only ancient author with aspirations to be read for eternity, but no poet of the Greco-Roman world has had a deeper or more lasting impact on subsequent literature and art than he can claim. In the present day no Greek or Roman poet is as accessible, to artists, writers, or the general reader: Ovid''s voice remains a compellingly contemporary one, as modern as it seemed to his contemporaries in Augustan Rome. But Ovid was also a man of his time, his own story fatally entwined with that of the first emperor Augustus, and the poetry he wrote channels in its own way the cultural and political upheavals of the contemporary city, its public life, sexual mores, religion, and urban landscape, while also exploiting the superbly rich store of poetic convention that Greek literature and his Roman predecessors had bequeathed to him. This Very Short Introduction explains Ovid''s background, social and literary, and introduces his poetry, on love, metamorphosis, Roman festivals, and his own exile, ...

A modern translation of the ancient Roman poet Ovid’s Remedies for Love—a witty and irreverent work about how to fall out of loveBreakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse’s death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so.Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid’s lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction and the original Latin on facing pages. Ovid’s advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre.Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you’re sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Mary Innes''s classic prose translation of one of the supreme masterpieces of Latin literature, Ovid''s Metamorphosis. Ovid drew on Greek mythology, Latin folklore and legend from ever further afield to create a series of narrative poems, ingeniously linked by the common theme of transformation. Here a chaotic universe is subdued into harmonious order: animals turn to stone; men and women become trees and stars. Ovid himself transformed the art of storytelling, infusing these stories with new life through his subtley, humour and understanding of human nature, and elegantly tailoring tone and pace to fit a variety of subjects. The result is a lasting treasure-house of myth and legend. ''The most beautiful book in the language (my opinion and I suspect it was Shakespeare''s)'' - Ezra PoundOvid was born in 43 BC in central Italy. He was sent to Rome where he realised that his talent lay with poetry rather than with politics. His first published work was ''Amores'', a collection of short love poems.

The selected poems depict the bitter-sweet love affairs of the poet-lovers and their mistresses, from the heartbreak of rejection to the elation at love reciprocated. While Propertius’s and Ovid’s setting is the city and their poems show us such details of urbane Roman life as drinking parties and elaborate hair-dressing, Tibullus introduces the idyll of the countryside to the genre. Their sophisticated poems combine intense emotion with wit and irony, and celebrate the life of love and their mistresses, Propertius’s Cynthia, Tibullus’s Delia and Nemesis, and Ovid’s Corinna.

This collection of Ovid''s poems deals with the whole spectrum of sexual desire, ranging from deeply emotional declarations of eternal devotion to flippant arguments for promiscuity. In the Amores, Ovid addresses himself in a series of elegies to Corinna, his beautiful, elusive mistress. The intimate and vulnerable nature of the poet revealed in these early poems vanishes in the notorious Art of Love, in which he provides a knowing and witty guide to sexual conquest - a work whose alleged obscenity led to Ovid''s banishment from Rome in AD 8. This volume also includes the Cures for Love, with instructions on how to terminate a love affair, and On Facial Treatment for Ladies, an incomplete poem on the art of cosmetics.

Jen velice málo klasických textů se těší trvalému vlivu a zájmu od chvíle svého vzniku až po současnost. Ovidiovy Proměny do této nečetné skupinky patří: zásadní dílo římské antiky hojně podněcovalo imaginaci ve středověku i za renesance, inspirovalo Danta, Shakespeara, Goetha i Ezru Pounda a dodnes je nesporně živým a oblíbeným textem. Proměny jsou však málokdy vnímány vcelku, tedy s ohledem na kompozici celých knih a celého díla - pozornost se obvykle zastavuje u hranic jednotlivých "historek". Von Albrechtova Kniha proměn oproti tomu klade důraz na vnímavou estetickou interpretaci v rámcích různé šířky od jednotlivých veršů přes velké textové trsy až po celek Proměn a představuje též Ovidiovo mimořádně silné a soustavné historické působení v literatuře, výtvarném umění i hudbě.

''Times and their reasons, arranged in order through the Latin year, and constellations sunk beneath the earth and risen, I shall sing.''Ovid''s poetical calendar of the Roman year is both a day by day account of festivals and observances and their origins, and a delightful retelling of myths and legends associated with particular dates. Written in the late years of the emperor Augustus, and cut short when the emperor sent the poet into exile, the poem''s tone ranges from tragedy to farce, and its subject matter from astronomy and obscure ritual to Roman history and Greek mythology. Among the stories Ovid tells at length are those of Arion and the dolphin, the rape of Lucretia, the shield that fell from heaven, the adventures of Dido''s sister, the Great Mother''s journey to Rome, the killing of Remus, the bloodsucking birds, and the murderous daughter of King Servius. The poem also relates a wealth of customs and beliefs, such as the unluckiness of marrying in May.This new prose translation is lively and accurate, and is accompanied by a contextualizing introduction and helpful notes.

He had shown that rare translator''s gift for providing not just an accurate account of the original, but one so thoroughly imbued with his own qualities that it was as if Latin and English poet were somehow the same person. Tales from Ovid, which went on to win the Whitbread Prize for Poetry, continued the project of recreation with 24 passages, including the stories of Phaeton, Actaeon, Echo and Narcissus, Procne, Midas and Pyramus and Thisbe.

Ovid’s Fasti is a fascinating poem, which discusses key events in the Roman religious calendar, along with their mythological and historical origins. As such it provides a remarkable opportunity for readers to experience the intersection of poetry and Roman ‘socio-cultural values’. These extracts from Fasti II include the story of Hercules and Omphale, along with one of the most famous tales from Roman history, the story of Lucretia and the ensuing expulsion of the Roman Kings and creation of the Republic. Through his treatment of this latter narrative in particular, Ovid is not only playing with historical tradition, but also asking his Roman readers to perceive the echoes of the past in their present experiences.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2024-2026

Written after he had been banished to the Black Sea city of Tomis by Emperor Augustus, the Fasti is Ovid''s last major poetic work. Both a calendar of daily rituals and a witty sequence of stories recounted in a variety of styles, it weaves together tales of gods and citizens together to explore Rome''s history, religious beliefs and traditions. It may also be read as a subtle but powerful political manifesto which derides Augustus'' attempts to control his subjects by imposing his own mythology upon them: after celebrating the emperor as a Jupiter-on-earth, for example, Ovid deliberately juxtaposes a story showing the king of the gods as a savage rapist. Endlessly playful, this is also a work of integrity and courage, and a superb climax to the life of one of Rome''s greatest writers.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

With marriage in decline, divorce on the rise and the demise of the nuclear family, it is clear that the structures of kinship in the modern West are in a state of flux.In The Metamorphoses of Kinship, the world-renowned anthropologist Maurice Godelier contextualises these developments, surveying the accumulated experience of humanity with regard to such phenomena as the organisation of lines of descent, sexuality and sexual prohibitions. In parallel, Godelier studies the evolution of Western conjugal and familial traditions from their roots in the nineteenth century to the present. The conclusion he draws is that it is never the case that a man and a woman are sufficient on their own to raise a child, and nowhere are relations of kinship or the family the keystone of society.

Presented via the natural method by Hans Ørberg, Ars Amatoria (“The Art of Love”) allows students to read lightly altered Latin texts. The text is a poem in three books by Ovid. The first two books consist of instructions to men on the wooing of women of easy virtue; the third, of instructions to woman on seduction of men. The work is full of humor and charm, and contains interesting glimpses of Roman life and manners—the circus, the theatre, the banquet. It was perhaps partly on account of its immorality that Augustus banished the poet to Tomi by the Black Sea. These poems can be read by students who have completed the first five chapters of Ørberg’s second-year text Roma Aeterna. (Lingua Latina Pars II), also available from Focus.

Dokonale vybroušené miniatury zpodobňují v šesti personifikacích (Pan, Phaeton, Niobé, Bakchus, Narcis, Arethusa) protikladné lidské vlastnosti. Podobným bohatstvím rozličných charakterů oplývá i komplet dvanácti fantasií G. Ph. Telemanna, jednoho z nejproduktivnějších skladatelů všech dob. Tento...
