A study of Ovid's ambitious epic celebrating change and transformative forces, with attention to the challenges it poses to traditional Roman values and to conventional Roman notions of the work appropriate to a poet. In particular, consideration will be given to the way Ovid's poem subversively responds to Vergil's work.
Prereq: one 200- or 300-level Latin course.
Meets with Latin 310. Three meetings per week; timing of third to be arranged with students after registration.
