Description: 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.
