  1. With a foreword by Frederic Allison Tupper. Ovid was a Roman writer of love elegies, then experimented with the imaginary letter, mock didactic verse, and collective narrative relating disconnected stories inside a large historical or chronological frame. Little was heard of Ovid until the Renaissance where he was revered as the great preceptor of courtly love. Through the Renaissance up to modern times, his poetry has been respected as a treasury of mythic themes, the suggestiveness and psychological content of which have inspired the imagination of a legion of writers. Content: The Creation; The Four Ages; Giants; Lycaon Changed to a Wolf; The Deluge; The Pythian Games; Daphne and Phoebus; and Io and Jupiter. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
