Description

Ovid's long-lasting afterlife bears witness not only to an appreciation of the Latin poet's corpus in its original language but also to an interest in translating, modifying, and adapting his work into the vernacular languages. This session will explore some of these translations and adaptations, and through this new research, we gain a greater understanding into the multitude of purposes for which Ovid's works were read, transmitted, and transformed.
