Book Synopsis
What does Penelope experience during the 20-year absence of her husband Odysseus? How does Dido feel after Aeneas left her? How does Medea justify her terrible deed to Jason? And how did the love affair between Helena and Paris come about, which had such far-reaching consequences? Using selected letters from Ovid's Heroides, the students learn how the theme of "love" is translated into literature: Ovid, as a male author, slips into the roles of female figures from mythology. The reading edition contains texts on these exciting topics in three levels of difficulty. A variety of preliminary relief, interpretation and text development tasks as well as learning vocabulary for each text complete the booklet. In addition, free audio files with metric recitation and all texts in Word format are available for download.
