These three poems, together with the letters of Medea (recently the subject of a commentary in the same series) and Sappho, formed the last of Ovid’s three books of heroine letters. The introduction discusses Ovid’s innovative use both of his sources and of the epistolary form. A text with selective apparatus is provided for each of the three poems, and the detailed commentary is fully indexed.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;221.Epistolary poetry, LatinHistory and criticismLove poetry, LatinHistory and criticismMan-woman relationships in literatureMythology, Classical, in literatureLove-letters in literatureWomen in literatureEpistolary poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Love poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Man-woman relationships in literature.Mythology, Classical, in literature.Love-letters in literature.Women in literature.871.01Reeson James474790MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996237748203316Ovid Heroides 11,13 and 142417707UNISA
