In AD 8, the emperor Augustus exiled Ovid to the shores of the Black Sea for \"a poem and a mistake.\" Whatever the mistake may have been, the poem was certainly the \u003ci\u003eArs Amatoria\u003c\/i\u003e, which the emperor found a bit too immoral. \u003cbr\u003e In exile, Ovid composed \u003ci\u003eSad Things\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eTristia\u003c\/i\u003e), which included a defense of his life and work as brilliant and cheeky as his controversial love manuals. In a poem addressed to Augustus (\u003ci\u003eTristia \u003c\/i\u003e2), he argues, \"Since all of life and literature is one long, steamy sex story, why single poor Ovid out?\" While seemingly groveling at the emperor's feet, he creates an image of Augustus as capricious tyrant and himself as suffering artist that wins over every reader (except the one to whom it was addressed). \u003cbr\u003e Bringing together translations of the \u003ci\u003eArs Amatoria\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRemedia Amoris\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Tristia \u003c\/i\u003e2, Julia Dyson Hejduk's \u003ci\u003eThe Offense of Love\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to include both the offense and the defense of Ovid's amatory work in a single volume. Hejduk's elegant and accurate translations, helpful notes, and comprehensive introduction will guide readers through Ovid's wickedly witty poetic tour of the literature, mythology, topography, religion, politics, and (of course) sexuality of ancient Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finalist, National Translation Award, American Literary Translators Association \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A Choice Outstanding Academic Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7101637\"\u003eOvid\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299302047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299302040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE008000\"\u003eAncient \u0026amp; Classical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004190\"\u003eAncient and Classical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS002020\"\u003eAncient | Rome\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOvid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BC-AD 17) was a popular Roman poet best known for his multivolume poem of myth and history, \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e.
