Description

Explore the classical world through the lens of Howard Jacobson in this scholarly study of Ovid's Heroides. Part of the Princeton Legacy Library, this volume examines the first fifteen elegiac letters written by legendary heroines such as Penelope, Dido, and Medea to their lovers. Professor Jacobson provides a deep critical evaluation of these letters, treating the work both as a single entity with a uniform poetic structure and as a collection of fifteen individual poems. Through fifteen detailed chapters, this book offers a thorough analysis of Ovid's attempt to revitalize myth as a subject for literature. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in classical poetry and literary history.
