About the book

The Art of Love by Ovid is a witty and sophisticated poem offering playful advice on romance, courtship and relationships in ancient Rome. Written with irony and elegance, Ovid discusses where to meet lovers, how to attract them and how to sustain affection, while simultaneously satirising the conventions of Roman society. Beneath its light tone lies a clever exploration of desire, performance and the social games surrounding love.
