Amores


<p><i><b>Amores</b></i> is Ovid's first completed book, published in 16 BC. <i>Amores</i> was written in the elegiac distich. The book follows the model of the erotic elegy–perhaps the most common theme of the time–as treated before by Tibullus and Propertius, but often in a subversive and humorous way, with common motifs and devices being exaggerated to the point of absurdity. However, the <i>Amores</i> could also be considered a mock epic.</p> <p>This is a famous English verse translation made by Christopher Marlowe.</p> <p>— Excerpted from <i>Wikipedia,</i> the free encyclopedia.</p>
