Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ovid´s Heroïdes, Amours: Art of Love, Remedy of Love, and Minor Works The present is the third and concluding volume of the Classical Library translation of the works of Ovid, which, till now, have never been presented to the English reader in a complete form. The Text of Valpy´s Variorum Edition has generally been followed, but the Editions of Burmann and Gierig have been carefully consulted, and many of the improvements suggested therein adopted; the reasons are, in all instances, stated in the Notes. The "Heroides" have been more than once translated into English verse, and they were published in prose by Davidson about the middle of the last century. Though the latter is professedly a literal Translation, it has no pretensions to be considered as such. It is, however, accompanied by many useful Notes, a portion of which, as embodying a careful analysis of the spirit of the writer, have been made available in the present Translation. The "Amores" have also been previously translated into English verse, but not into prose. The "Ars Amatoria" and the "Remedia Amoris" have never appeared in English prose, but a poetical version of them was made by Dryden, Congreve, and others.
