Fraenkel, Hermann. Ovid: Poet Between Two Worlds 1956

2: The 19th ... a century which we are not accustomed to regard as an arbiter elegantiarum

11f.: on Aurora & her ruination of sleep & repose & call to the brutalities of the day

17: it was as the sun was setting on Greek myth that its skies glowed with the most gorgeous colors

18: Amantium irae amoris integratio est (Terence Andria 555)

22: the breakdown of a willed self‑identity, of a willed isolation of the soul

24ff: love as disjuncted from marriage

26f: the lack of career choice for such a young patrician as Ovid

28: let them lay their grasping hands upon everything, let them sway elections & lawsuits [Ars Am.III, around 45]

83: Inopem me copia fecit [Meta 3,466. Narcissus]

95: Ipso fit utilis usu [made useful by use]

100: Naivete can be found everywhere in Ovid. Without it, no man can have a vision, or be a poet [?]

Interesting discussion of Ovid. The professor occasionally goes a shade too far in giving his opinions. Making connections, demonstrating the facts and the texts is one thing; opining about love, another. Too bad that Freud was so taken by the Greeks. The Romans are closer to our sense of what goes on. Also our language.
