Ovid, Amores (Book 1)
Although influenced by poets such as Catullus, Ovid demonstrates a much greater awareness of the funny side of love than any of his predecessors. The Amores is a collection of romantic poems centered on the poet's own complicated love life. This edition of the first book of the collection contains the complete Latin text of Book 1, along with commentary, notes, full vocabulary and embedded audio files of the original text read aloud by Aleksandra Szypowska.
