Otto Steen Dues oversættelse af Ovids Bitterligheder, der aldrig tidligere har foreligget på dansk. Illustreret af Peter Brandes.
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.
Focuses 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.
Romerne kaldte den kamp, man elsker sig ud i, når kærligheden kalder, for militia amoris, kærlighedens krigstogt – eller for veneris bella, VENUSKRIGENE. I denne lille smukke bog har filolog Signe Brigitte Andersen udvalgt og oversat en række af de fineste kærlighedsdigte fra ti antikke forfattere, nogle grækere, nogle romere – fra Sapfo og Kallimachos til Horats, Tibul og Ovid. Fra Eros til Amor.I oversættelsen har hun på den ene side lagt vægt på virkningslighed og altså en stil, der matcher originalen, frem for ord-til-ord-oversættelse – mens det på den anden side også er tilstræbt at give en så tekstnær oversættelse som muligt af handling og temaer frem for en gendigtning. Sprogspil er forsøgt fanget, og alle digtene er holdt i den originale metrik i oversættelsen, fordi et digt er en sang, og en sang har rytme.
In Fasti Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE) sets forth explanations of the festivals and sacred rites that were noted on the Roman calendar, and relates in graphic detail the legends attached to specific dates. The poem is an invaluable source of information about religious practices.
In Heroides, Ovid (43 BCE-17CE) allows legendary women to narrate their memories and express their emotions in verse letters to absent husbands and lovers. Ovid's Amores are three books of elegies ostensibly about the poet's love affair with his mistress Corinna.
In the penultimate book of his epic Metamorphoses, Ovid continues his literary challenge to Virgil's Aeneid, narrating erotic adventures from early Italian myth and scenes from early Roman history through Romulus' reign. This commentary is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, but will also interest scholars of Latin literature.
"What would Greek and Roman myth look like if women had written the stories?" asks Tara Welch in her illuminating Introduction to this volume. Stanley Lombardo and Melina McClure's faithful translation of Ovid's famous letters, purportedly written by heroines of classical antiquity to their absent lovers, offers an inkling of one intriguing possibility.

"The Art of Love" or "Ars amatoria" is a three-book instructional elegy series written by the ancient Roman poet Ovid in 2 AD. The first book offers advice to men on finding a woman, while the second book focuses on how to keep her. The third book, written two years later, provides guidance for women on winning and maintaining a man's love. Ovid covers various topics in the books, including remembering important dates, creating longing in the relationship, and avoiding certain questions. Despite being completed in 2 AD, much of Ovid's advice remains relevant today. The book combines mythological references, daily Roman life, and human experiences to entertain its readers. Ovid employs irony and wit in discussing love, likening it to military service and emphasizing the need for mutual fulfillment. While the book addresses sexual matters, Ovid maintains a discreet and tasteful approach, avoiding obscenity. The series concludes with a discussion of sexual positions, with Ovid humorously suggesting that tall women should avoid certain postures. Composed in elegiac couplets, "Ars amatoria" serves as a practical guide or "textbook" rather than a purely artistic endeavor.
