  • LAT 315: Ovid

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Young Many of our favorite mythological tales come down to us from Ovid's Metamorphoses, an iconoclastic compendium of Greco-Roman myth that defies categorization. We will read our way through key portions of this kaleidoscopic poem, paying close attention to Ovid's luxuriant Latin while probing his delightful, but often discomfiting, tales from a number of angles. Domination and desire, political and personal sove-reignty, order versus entropy, and the seductive powers of narrative are just some of the issues probed by this irrepressible poem. We will use our close engagement with Ovid's text as an opportunity to examine these and other literary and philosophical question s.
