Who's
Who in Greek and Roman Mythology DVD
Learn about the gods, heroes, and weird creatures
that provided Greek and Roman mythology
with a bizarre but interesting cast of characters. Hear
about their rather complicated interactions and understand why
myths were important to ancient people.
Metamorphoses
Metamorphoses -- the best-known poem by
one of the wittiest poets of classical antiquity--takes as its
theme change and transformation, as illustrated by Greco-Roman
myth and legend. Melville's new translation reproduces the
grace and fluency of Ovid's style, and its modern idiom
offers a fresh understanding of Ovid's unique and
elusive vision of reality.
The
Metamorphoses of Ovid
Publius Ovidius Naso, whom we know as Ovid,
was already established as a writer when Metamorphoses
was published in A.D. 8, when he was 52 years old. It had taken
him a decade to compose his great poem, during which time he
published little, but the Roman world was still abuzz
with excitement over his richly erotic Art of Love. So,
unfortunately, was the court of Augustus Caesar, and
the emperor banished the poet to what is now Romania. Augustus may
have taken exception to the poet's turn to the impolite realm of
the body--or he may have objected to a rumored affair between Ovid
and the emperor's nymphomaniacal daughter Julia, who figures so
prominently in Robert Graves's Claudius novels. The
poet who had declared Rome to be his only home could
have found no worse punishment than exile, but no amount of
pleading could sway Augustus, and Ovid died on the shores of the
Black Sea a decade later. Full of veiled political and historical
references, The Metamorphoses lived on to become a
permanent fixture in the canon of European literature. In Allen
Mandelbaum's hands, it lives on for a new generation.
The Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion
Remus
A Roman Myth
This is an account of the foundation legend of
Rome, how the twins Remus and Romulus were
miraculously suckled by a she-wolf, and how Romulus
founded Rome and Remus was killed at the
moment of the foundation. What does the story mean? Why have a
twin, if he has to be killed off? This is the first historical
analysis of the origins and development of the myth, and
it offers important insights into the nature of pre-imperial
Rome and the ways in which myths could be created
and elaborated in a nonliterate society.

The
Complete Odes and Satires of Horace
Horace has long been revered as the supreme lyric
poet of the Augustan Age. In his perceptive introduction
to this translation of Horace's Odes and Satires, Sidney
Alexander engagingly spells out how the poet expresses values and
traditions that remain unchanged in the deepest strata of Italian
character two thousand years later. Horace shares with Italians of
today a distinctive delight in the senses, a fundamental irony, a
passion for seizing the moment, and a view of religion as
aesthetic experience rather than mystical exaltation--in many
ways, as Alexander puts it, Horace is the quintessential Italian.
The voice we hear in this graceful and carefully annotated
translation is thus one that emerges with clarity and dignity from
the heart of an unchanging Latin culture.
Alexander is an accomplished poet, novelist, biographer, and translator who has lived in Italy for more than thirty years. Translating a poet of such variety and vitality as Horace calls on all his literary abilities. Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65-8 bce), was born the son of a freed slave in southern rural Italy and rose to become one of the most celebrated poets in Rome and a confidante of the most powerful figures of the age, including Augustus Caesar. His poetry ranges...
