Ovid's Conception of Fate, (extracts in Latin and smaller references in Greek), [At first, seeing a table on the relative frequency of 'fatum' and similar words in Ovid - the Works, the number of lines, the number of references, and the number of lines per a reference - and a similar table for 'fortuna' , I thought: Oh dear! Those long winters with no daylight and nothing better to do! Then I spent this long dark night reading on to the point where I can recommend it - When Ovid sticks a passage in a work that is out of context, is he being 'politically correct' to the powers-that-be, to tradition, to the Gods, to the Fates or to that excuse called Fortune],
