Ovid with Professor Alison Keith

​Professor Alison Keith (Classics Department, University of Toronto) presents an overview of the life and works of the ancient Roman poet Ovid.

Ovid has been recognized for his lively poetry for over two millennia. He was one of the three great poets of Ancient Rome (also Virgil and Horace). Ovid lived during the reign of Augustus who banished him for something he wrote. His best-known works are Ars Amatoria (The Cure for Love) and Metamorphoses (Transformations) which elegantly capture the eternal conflicts of the human soul.
