This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin
A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Ovid's Heroides, giving full
Latin text, commentary and vocabulary for Heroides I lines 1-68,
and Heroides VII lines 1-140, with a detailed introduction that
also covers the prescribed text to be read in English. Ovid's
Heroides is a unique collection of poetry, in which famous
mythological heroines write letters to the men who have abandoned
them. They offer a new perspective on the otherwise male-centred
mythological tradition. Heroides I (from Penelope) and VII (from
Dido) respond to the most famous Classical epics, Homer's Odyssey
and Virgil's Aeneid, by presenting a new, less positive, angle on
the two famous epic heroes. Through his heroines' unique voices,
Ovid plays with literary tradition, inviting us all to take a side:
epic heroism or loyalty in love? Resources are available on the
Companion Website.
