Topic: Heroides


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  bolton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The Heroides were composed in the form of fictional letters and have been found to contain elements of epic, elegy, bucolic and tragedy.
This is all to say that elements of the Heroides are strongly reminiscent of early examples of propemptic poetry, and what might appear to be unnecessary and excessive details, and other scholars have seen them as such, may instead be reminiscent of another tradition.
One of the many complaints levelled against the Heroides bymodern commentators is the lengthy review of past events, events which would be well known to the addressee of the letter (Vessey, CQ (1969) 352).

 Mazurek: Choosing Elegy:  The Judgment of Paris in Ovid's Didactic Poems
The Paris of Heroides 16 is a figure challenged by ignorance and libido, that is, someone badly in need of the kind of instruction provided by the praeceptor amoris.
In particular, Paris' version of the Judgment, in which he is led unconsciously by his subjective desire for erotic love to choose Venus' offer of Helen, is recast in the Ars Amatoria (1.245-48; 1.623-28) and Remedia Amoris (709-14) as simply a beauty contest that requires an objective and discerning judge.
The slick transformation of the artless Paris of the Heroides into a model of elegiac savvy for male pupils to imitate exposes the specious pedagogy of the praeceptor.
