They offer a new perspective on the otherwise male-centred mythological tradition. \u003ci\u003eHeroides \u003c\/i\u003eI (from Penelope) and VII (from Dido) respond to the most famous Classical epics, Homer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and Virgil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, by presenting a new, less positive, angle on the two famous epic heroes. Through his heroines' unique voices, Ovid plays with literary tradition, inviting us all to take a side: epic heroism or loyalty in love? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResources are available on the Companion Website.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristina Tsaknaki\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Classics at Brentwood School, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42719386304575,"sku":"9781350060265","price":40.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/62f158b6055dff2ee4d8bce5672ffcca.webp?v=1765085443","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/ovid-heroides-a-selection-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
