Synopsis

This reader contains lines of Latin selections from Ovid poems, designed for students moving from elementary or intermediate Latin into reading the authentic Latin of Ovid. Introductory materials include an overview of the life and work of Ovid, bibliography, and description of Ovidian meters.

Latin selections are accompanied by pre-reading materials, grammatical exercises, vocabulary notes, notes to assist reading comprehension, and other reading aids. Appendices on grammar and figures of speech, and a pull-out vocabulary of words appearing frequently in Ovid round out the book's innovative features.
