Exploring female beauty and cosmeceuticals, with particular emphasis on the concept of cultus, the poem presents five practical recipes for treatments for Roman women. Covering both didactic parody and pharmacological reality, this deceptively complex poem possesses wit and vivacity and provides an important insight into Roman social mores and day-to-day activities. The first full study in English devoted to this little-researched but multi-faceted poem, Ovid on Cosmetics includes an introduction that situates the poem within its literary heritage of didactic and elegiac poetry, its place in Ovid's oeuvre and its relevance to social values, personal aesthetics and attitudes to female beauty in Roman society. The Latin text is presented on parallel p. alongside a new translation, and all Latin words and phrases are translated for the non-specialist reader. Detailed commentary notes elucidate the text and individual phrases still further. Ovid on Cosmetics presents and explicates this witty, subversive yet significant poem. Its attention to the technicalities of cosmeceuticals and cosmetics, including detailed analyses of individual ingredients and the effects of specific creams and makeup, make this work a significant contribution to the beauty industry in antiquity."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCosmetics$vPoetry$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aDidactic poetry, Latin$vTranslations into English 615 0$aCosmetics 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Latin 676 $a871/.01 700 $aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 701 2$aOvid$f43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D.$0154954 702 $aJohnson$b Marguerite$f1965- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597931203321 996 $aOvid on cosmetics$92948571 997 $aUNINA
