  This sparkling new translation of Ovid s love poems, notorious for the sexual content that led to his exile by the emperor Augustus, also includes Tristia 2, Ovid s witty self-defense. With helpful footnotes and a comprehensive introduction, this edition gives readers a poetic tour of the literature, mythology, topography, religion, politics, and sexuality of ancient Rome.
