Amores ("The Loves")
by MobileReferenceEbooks | Support
Summary: Amores is Ovid's first completed book, published in 16 BC. Amores was written in the elegiac distich. The book follows the model of the erotic elegy–perhaps the most common theme of the time–as treated before by Tibullus and Propertius, but often in a subversive and humorous way, with common motifs and devices being exaggerated to the point of absurdity. However, the Amores could also be considered a mock epic. This is a famous English verse translation made by Christopher Marlowe. — Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
