'the distinction corresponds most closely, I think, to that which existed in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries between City and Court. The barrier between was not unpassable, but was not often in those days passed. So in Rome, I think, as a rule the Equites were content to see their children Equites, and still engaged in lucrative mercantile and speculative business, from which the Senator was excluded. Ovid's father, however, was ambitious, evidently. Cf. Bury, Student's Roman Empire, p. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Ovid and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1955 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ovid is, after Homer, the single most important source for classical mythology. The Metamorphoses, which he wrote over the six-year period leading up to his exile from Rome in 8 a.d. , is the primary source for over two hundred classical legends that survived to the twenty-first century. Many of the most familiar classical myths, including the stories of Apollo and Daphne and Pyramus and Thisbe, come directly from Ovid. The Metamorphoses is a twelve-thousand-line poem, written in dactylic hexameters and arranged loosely in chronological order from the beginning of the universe's creation to the Augustan Rome of Ovid's own time. The major theme of the Metamorphoses, as the title suggests, is metamorphosis, or change. Throughout the fifteen books making up the Metamorphoses, the idea of change is pervasive. Gods are continually transforming their own selves and shapes, as well as the shapes and beings of humans. The theme of power is also ever-present in Ovid's work. The gods as depicted by the Roman poets are wrathful, vengeful, capricious creatures who are forever turning their powers against weaker mortals and half-mortals, especially females. Ovid's own situation as a poet who was exiled because of Augustus's capriciousness is thought by many to be reflected in his depictions of the relationships between the gods and humans." -- from http://www.enotes.com/metamorphoses-of-ovid (Jan. 24, 2011.)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ovid's Metamorphoses: Translated by Various Authors Ovid's Metamorphoses. The force of fire ascended first on high, And took its dwelling in the vaulted sky: Then air succeeds, in lightness next to fire; Whose atoms from unactive earth retire. Earth sinks beneath, and draws and a num'rous throng Of pond'rous, thick, unwieldy seeds along. About her coasts unruly waters roar; And, rising on a ridge, insult the shore. Thus when the God, whatever God was he, Had form'd the whole, and made the parts agree, That no unequal portions might be found, He moulded earth into a spacious round: Then with a breath, he gave the winds to blow; And bade the congregated waters flow. He adds the running springs, and standing lakes; And bounding banks for winding rivers makes. Some part in earth are swallow'd up; the most In ample oceans disembogu'd, are lost. He shades the woods, the valleys he restrains With rocky mountains, and extends the plains. And as five zones th' ethereal regions bind, Five, correspondent, are to earth assign'd: The sun with rays, directly darting down, Fires all beneath, and fries the middle zone: The two beneath the distant poles, complain Of endless winter, and perpetual rain. Betwixt th' extremes, two happier climates hold The temper that partakes of hot and cold. The fields of liquid air, inclosing all, Surround the compass of this earthly ball: The lighter parts lie next the fires above; The grosser near the wat'ry surface move: Thick clouds are spread, and storms engender there, And thunder's voice, which wretched mortals fear, And winds that on their wings cold winter bear. Nor were those blust'ring brethren left at large, On seas and shores their fury to discharge: Bound as they are, and circumscrib'd in place, They rend the world, resistless, as they pass; And mighty marks of mischief leave behind; Such is the rage of their tempestuous kind.
