One of the 3 major poets of Latin tradition. Ovid made his primary contribution to Western literature in the Metamorphoses, a cleverly assembled verse sythesis of the myth of transformation. In most of the tales a human being is changed into a nonhuman form befitting his action and personality. The transformation theme which permeates so much medieval and Renaissance literature is derived from the Metamophoses. Medicamina - celebrates beauty, love and the kind of sophistication which improves on nature. The introduction is a lecture on the theme culta placent (11.3-50) the appeal of culture in the broadest sense of the word, including bodily care.
