Augustan Love: Propertius and Ovid
Update: 2013-09-18
Description
Love poetry during the Augustan period is notable for the elegiac genre, a short-lived but significant body of poetry which represents the poet as enslaved and entirely dominated by his mistress. This lectures examines the love poetry of Propertius and Ovid, and also looks at Ovid's controversial poem, The Art of Love, which trivialised the family values being promoted by Augustus, and was probably responsible for the harsh punishment imposed by the emperor: the poet's exile to the Black Sea.
