Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Ars Amatoria; or, The Art Of Love" by Ovid is an instructional elegy written in 2 AD. This three-book guide offers Romans practical advice on romance: men learn where to find women and how to keep them, while women discover strategies for winning and maintaining love. Written in elegant couplets and filled with mythology and everyday observations, Ovid's playful manual became so influential that medieval scholars dubbed the entire era the "Ovidian epoch," treating his tongue-in-cheek instructions as serious academic philosophy for centuries.
