About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BC – AD 17), translated in a single voice with the Latin alongside.

What's here

Everything Ovid left — the love poetry, the Heroides, the Ars Amatoria and Remedia, the Metamorphoses, the Fasti, and the exile poetry of the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto — translated from the Latin and arranged as he wrote them. Each work carries a headnote, an optional Latin-parallel toggle, and an apparatus of named-entity glossary and cross-references.

From the Latin

Every translation was produced by reading the Latin text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Latin comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index lists every work; open any to read. The chronology places Ovid's life and poems on a timeline. The glossary is the named-entity registry — every person, place, and god the poems invoke. Search spans the whole corpus.
