Synopsis

Discover a holistic perspective on Ovid's Metamorphoses Book 10 with this insightful resource.

In A Student's Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses Book 10, Shawn O'Bryhim offers an insightful and concise examination of the literary, grammatical, and textual matters integral to Book 10 of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Expanding the scope of more traditional textbooks on Book 10, the author explores the archaeological, religious, and cultural elements of the work as it relates to Greece, Rome, and the Near East.

Readers will benefit from the inclusion of:

A multidisciplinary approach that examines the religious, archaeological, and cultural background of Ovid's myths
A Near Eastern perspective on the material, which will allow a deeper understanding of the subject matter
An exploration of the grammatical and literary components that characterize Book 10

Intended primarily for undergraduates in advanced Latin courses on Ovid, A Student's Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses Book 10 will also earn a place in the library of anyone who desires a broader approach to the study of Book 10 of the Metamorphoses.
