Description

Ovid is now firmly established as a central figure in the Latin poetic canon, and his Fasti is his most complex elegy. Drafted alongside the Metamorphoses before the poet's exile, it was only published after the death of Augustus, and involves a wide range of myth, Roman history, religion, astronomy and explication of the calendar. In its aetiology and conversations with gods, it is a Latin equivalent of Callimachus' Aetia. This invaluable new commentary on a central book of the poem explores Ovid's playful inversion of genre, his witty but challenging style of Latin, his use of the elegiac couplet, intertextuality and much more. With a comprehensive introduction providing key background for students and instructors, this guide to Book 3, the first in English for nearly a century, makes use of the latest scholarly research to illuminate Ovid's wide-ranging and amusing account of Roman life.

Author Biography:

S. J. Heyworth is Bowra Fellow and Tutor in Classics at Wadham College, Oxford and Professor of Latin at the University of Oxford. His work focuses on textual criticism and the transmission of Latin literature and in 2007 he published a new edition of Propertius in the Oxford Classical Texts series together with a detailed textual commentary. More recently he has published, in conjunction with James Morwood, literary and grammatical commentaries on Book III of Propertius (2011) and on Virgil's Aeneid III (2017). He is now working towards a new Oxford Classical Text for Ovid's Fasti.
