Episode 113: Ovid's Metamorphoses in the 21st Century

In this episode we talk to the authors of two new books on Ovid’s Metamorphoses , the Latin epic poem he wrote in 8 CE. Stephanie McCarter has published a new translation of the poem, and Gareth Williams has written a short interpretive introductory work on the epic to go with the Columbia Core Curriculum. We talked with both of them about the way Ovid fits into contemporary society, what considerations there are when teaching this epic, and the joys and difficulties of engaging with Ovid’s poetic brilliance. Content note for sexual violence and brief description of trauma.
