This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin A-Level (Group
4) prescription of Ovid, Fasti 2.533-616, 687-852, giving full
Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction
that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English.
Ovid's Fasti is a fascinating poem, which discusses key events in
the Roman religious calendar, along with their mythological and
historical origins. As such it provides a remarkable opportunity
for readers to experience the intersection of poetry and Roman
'socio-cultural values'. These extracts from Fasti II include the
story of Hercules and Omphale, along with one of the most famous
tales from Roman history, the story of Lucretia and the ensuing
expulsion of the Roman Kings and creation of the Republic. Through
his treatment of this latter narrative in particular, Ovid is not
only playing with historical tradition, but also asking his Roman
readers to perceive the echoes of the past in their present
experiences. Supporting resources are available on the Companion
