It’s Magistra McIntire here again! I can’t believe Academy is starting in just a couple of days! I’m excited to be returning to Randolph-Macon College’s campus! As you’re frantically packing your last items, I wanted to let you know some more about my class: OVID-22. We will be translating the transformations of Tiresias, Iphis, Caenus, and more in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. We will discuss how our author, other sources, and ancient art pieces depict our characters. After translating, we will examine ancient statues, frescoes, and pottery of our characters and compare these depictions to other ancient characters such as maenads, Aphrodite, and Hermes. Then, we will be comparing Ovid’s depictions to other sources like Plato’s Symposium, Pliny the Elder, and previous versions of these myths from Greek sources. Ultimately we will be building up to a comparison between the transformations themselves. We will be asking questions like: Why did Ovid choose these stories? Why did Ovid make certain changes from previous versions of these stories? What do these depictions tell us about how ancient Roman society viewed these characters? Which characters are more accepted in Roman society?
