Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BCE-17 CE), born at Sulmo, studied rhetoric and law at Rome. Later he did considerable public service there, and otherwise devoted himself to poetry and to society. Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus by his "Ars Amatoria," and was banished because of this work and some other reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of Tomis on the Black Sea. He continued writing poetry, a kindly man, leading a temperate life. He died in exile.

Ovid's main surviving works are the "Metamorphoses," a source of inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare; the "Fasti," a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid finished only half; the "Amores," love poems; the "Ars Amatoria," not moral but clever and in parts beautiful; "Heroides," fictitious love letters by legendary women to absent husbands; and the dismal works written in exile: the "Tristia," appeals to persons including his wife and also the emperor; and similar "Epistulae ex Ponto." Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic and lucid.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ovid is in six volumes.

The "Library" provides in three books a grand summary of traditional Greek mythology and heroic legends. Written in clear and unaffected style, the compendium faithfully follows the Greek literary sources. It is thus an important record of Greek accounts of the origin and early history of the world and their race. This work has been attributed to Apollodorus of Athens (born "c." 180 BCE), a student of Aristarchus. But the text as we have it was written by an author probably living in the first or second century of our era.

In his highly valued notes to the Loeb Classical Library edition (which is in two volumes) J. G. Frazer cites the principal passages of other ancient writers where each particular story is told and compares the various versions to those in the "Library."

What Can We Really Believe About Scripture? BIBLICAL STORIES - TRUTH? OR FICTION? Here is Unequivocal Proof That "Noah's Flood" Actually Occurred and That The Fall of the Tower of Babel Did Cause Chaos, Mass Hysteria and the Confusion of Multiple Tongues to Prevail Among Humankind. Hundreds of Biblical accounts accepted as gospel by "true believers" have come under continued attack by the secular community to the point where it is difficult to sort out the factual nature of God's works. One researcher, James George Frazer, spent a good part of his life scoffing at the "Christian World" only to accumulate records from all over the planet which showed the universality of Creation, the Great Flood, and Man's Fall from Grace, as well as the collapse of the Tower of Babel. GLOBAL ACCOUNTS OF A 'GREAT FLOOD' PREVAIL In a lengthy presentation Frazer presents astounding evidence that a global flood has left the strongest single historical imprint upon all of humanity, no matter where on the globe folks had later moved to and settled. Skeptics have proclaimed that the Flood of Noah was merely "regional in scope," even though the Bible makes it clear: (Genesis 7:19b) ..".all the high hills that (were) under the whole heaven, were covered." In fact, "amongst 120 different tribes in North and South and Central America, not one tribe exists that has not related distinct or vague traditions of such a calamity, in which one, or three, or eight persons were saved above the waters..." Furthermore, here are many great tales, including: The Hebrew Story of the Flood; Ancient Great Stories of the Rising Tide of Doom; Supposed Persian Stories; Stories of a Great Flood in Eastern Asia; Stories From Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Polynesia and all of the Americas. Believe it or not the flood really occurred and it covered the globe EXPLORE THE CREATION OF MAN Do the various stories told by many cultures vary or do they agree at all on the creation? Were humans molded out of red clay? What is the truth about the creation of woman out of man's rib? THE TOWER OF BABEL Here are the "stories" told by many societies, including the Cholula in Mexico; the Toltecs, the origin of the diversity of tongues in Greece, Africa, Assam, Australia and America. There are even Jewish legends as to the Tower of Babel. Theories are many as to the primitive language of humankind and several experimental attempts have been made to determine if there is one source for primitive language. Far from being omitted are other "myths and legends" of Biblical proportions including the Mark of Cain, fear of ghosts of the murdered, a motive for executing murderers, bodily marks to protect people against ghosts of the slain. There is also discussion of the serpent in the Garden and the deception of woman by the serpent and the immortality of serpents and the story of the origin of death. ORDER NOW: If you are a student of the Bible or wish to know the links between the many great Scriptural stories that have been handed down by all means send for THE GREAT FLOOD AND OTHER MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. This volume is a MUST READ and is over 230 large size, 8x11, pages.
