Ovid group schedule

Our schedule for the remainder of 2012 is now linked on the right, thanks to Mussy, who keeps us ever on track. It's also here.

Times, Dates, Translations

The Ovid's Metamorphoses group meets on Wednesdays at the Gulf Gate Library, 10:15 to 12:15. Upcoming dates are:

• February 16th
• March 2nd and 16th and 30th
• April 6th and 20th

If you have a translation you like, bring it. A number of people will be using Rolfe Humphries, others Allen Mandelbaum. We'll have the Loeb Latin on hand as well -- more on translations below. A few online resources are linked on the right.

We'll be starting with Book 1. As usual, we'll read aloud and comment as we go.

Humphries - small glossary at back of text.


Mandelbaum - no glossary or other notes.
