«El arte de amar; El remedio del amor» is Ovid's volume of didactic poetry, published by Edicomunicación in paperback (124 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two verse treatises by the Roman poet: in «El arte de amar», Ovid offers ironic advice on how to find and keep love; in «El remedio del amor», he proposes strategies for getting over a failed relationship or unrequited love. Two elegant-toned works that portray human relationships in imperial Rome.
Published in 1994 in the Clásicos Universales collection; complete edition with translation by Felipe Payró Carrio and prologue and introduction by Francesc L. Cardona.
For readers of Greco-Latin classics and love poetry from the Roman Empire.
Publius Ovidius Naso, known in English as Ovid, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organised province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or ten years of his life. Ovid himself attributed his banishment to a carmen et error, but his reluctance to disclose specifics has resulted in much speculation among scholars.
