Description
Ovidius: Ars
amatoria I, II, III
Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) 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.
Where you should be in the series to read this:
These poems can be read by
students who have started on Roma
Aeterna (first 5 chapters).
