A reading course in Augustan poetry, introducing the student to Latin elegy and Ovidian epic. The chief objectives are (1) to develop ability to read and appreciate Latin verse; (2) to become familiar with the literary themes of the age; and (3) to learn about the social and cultural world of Augustan Rome. Readings, though focusing on Ovid, will include for comparison passages from other Augustan writers.
