Tres puellae...
Over the next two weeks, each of you must translate one of Ovid's Amores from your book. Each puella must pick a different poem.
Your task then is to write your own English poem to a beloved in Ovid's style. Your poem must pick a structured form of English poetry, so no blank verse is allowed. You must submit with your poem an analysis of how it is Ovidian in style and a passage from Ovid (in Latin and with your own translation) that you have imitated.
If you have questions about Ovid's style or about English poetry, please see me or email me.
Your final exam will cover all of the Ovid you have read.
