Ovid's Homer examines the Latin poet's engagement with the Homeric poems throughout his career. Boyd offers detailed analysis of Ovid's reading and reinterpretation of a range of Homeric episodes and characters from both epics, and demonstrates the pervasive presence of Homer in Ovid's work. The resulting intertextuality, articulated as a poetics of paternity or a poetics of desire, is particularly marked in scenes that have a history of scholiastic interest or critical intervention; Ovid repeatedly asserts his mastery as Homeric reader and critic through his creative response to alternative readings, and in the process renews Homeric narrative for a sophisticated Roman readership. Boyd offers new insight into the dynamics of a literary tradition, illuminating a previously underappreciated aspect of Ovidian intertextuality.

Is Genesis Just The Story Of Creation? Or could it contain more than can be imagined? Let's go on a treasure hunt to spy out the grace to be found in the Garden of Eden. These first three chapters contain the very nature and character of Father God, His intention for His greatest creation - man, and His great love and grace in the midst of man's complete and utter failure. These three chapters are foundational for the rest of Scripture. You are invited back in time to see the God of creation in a new way.
