The Metamorphoses is a work with an insistent modern resonance and relevance. In terms of Roman political commentary, socio-cultural implication, historical awareness, and psychological investigation, Ovid constructs a poem about change that is itself fundamentally slippery in its meanings, hard to deconstruct, and full of human eccentricity. The poem pulses with life, both ancient and modern, and this presentation offers a brief reading of that Ovidian pulse.
On November 11, 2024, Morningside hosted Professor Gareth Williams of Columbia University for this lecture and discussion on Ovid’s masterful work.
