The Art of Love Framing for a Misogynist The poetry of Ovid exemplified in The Art of Love is one of the only examples of the contemporary social behavior exhibited during the time of Rome. Ovid writes about social activities‚ proper style‚ women‚ and how to obtain them. Through Ovid’s perspective‚ there are three different ways to consider a woman. These three views include relating a woman to a game‚ a beautiful treasure‚ and as a means to assert social status. Comparatively‚ Andreas Capellanus

Ovid: The Art of Love There have been numerous questions that have always confused mankind since the early days. The significance of life‚ how everything functions‚ is there a god of every single topic that still confuses humans.

Ovid‚ Metamorphoses During the time of Augustus‚ Greek literature and myths were highly influential throughout the Roman world. In particular‚ Ovid‚ a Roman poet born in 43 BC‚ retells and adjusts much of Greek mythology in a humorous yet personal style to suit himself and his audiences (Plant 2012‚ p. 298). A close comparison of Ovid and Hesiod calls for similarities and differences in their accounts of the human races. In Book I of the Metamorphoses‚ Ovid accounts four “Ages of Humankind”. He

Love and The Consequences The compilation of stories in Ovid’s Metamorphosis are unlike any epic of it’s time. They all fit together to form one huge unifying story with a lot of different meanings and themes. Throughout the entire epic‚ one reoccurring theme that is prevalent to me is the agony of love. The tortures of love‚ if you will‚ and the resulting effects of that adoration towards another. Love is one thing that remains consistent throughout the entire epic. It doesn’t arise as just

Transformations in Ovid Transformations from one shape or form into another are the central theme in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The popularity and timelessness of this work stems from the manner of story telling. Ovid takes stories relevant to his culture and time period‚ and weaves them together into one work with a connecting theme of transformation throughout. The thread of humor that runs through Metamorphoses is consistent with the satire and commentary of the work. The theme is presented

Metamorphoses‚ by Ovid‚ as the poet tells of the god Jupiter destroying all man kind (except for Deucalion and Pyrrha) because of the actions of one‚ Lycaon. Ovid describes Jupiter’s destruction as an effort to protect all the gods who do not live in the heavens. However‚ Jupiter’s actions are not justified in any way presented in the book. In the story there are multiple cases where Jupiter and other gods cause danger and torment on the lower class of gods. Examples of rape‚ intervention of true love‚ and god’s

Raising key similarities in the Gold‚ Silver and Bronze Ages both Ovid and Hesiod tell a different meaning on how the ages that precede them affect the rest of mankind. The Heroic and Iron Ages are important in the continuation of both stories‚ the tale of creation and mankind‚ and the view of the world to the Greeks

Heroides XII: Medea to Jason by Ovid Both Fifth century B.C. playwright Euripides and Roman poet and dramatist Ovid tell the story of Jason ditching Medea for another woman; however‚ they do not always share a perspective on the female matron’s traits‚ behavior‚ and purpose. Euripides portrays a woman who reacts to injustice by beginning a crusade to avenge all who harmed her which she is prepared to see through even if it means resorting to the most contemptible methods. Ovid‚ on the other hand‚ tells
