#LatinForTheDay – May 30 #Ovid 🧵

“[...] dum talia secum
exigit Hippomenes, passu volat alite virgo.
quae quamquam Scythica non setius ire sagitta
Aonio visa est iuveni, tamen ille decorem
miratur magis: et cursus facit ipse decorem.
aura refert ablata citis talaria plantis,... Image
"tergaque iactantur crines per eburnea, quaeque
poplitibus suberant picto genualia limbo;
inque puellari corpus candore ruborem
traxerat, haud aliter, quam cum super atria velum...
"candida purpureum simulatas inficit umbras.
dum notat haec hospes, decursa novissima meta est,
et tegitur festa victrix Atalanta corona.”

Ovid, Metamorphoses 10.586-598

#LatinForTheDay – 27 March #Ovid

“est quaedam—quicumque volet cognoscere lenam,
audiat!—est quaedam nomine Dipsas anus.
ex re nomen habet—nigri non illa parentem
Memnonis in roseis sobria vidit equis.
illa magas artes Aeaeaque carmina novit... Image
"...inque caput liquidas arte recurvat aquas;
scit bene, quid gramen, quid torto concita rhombo
licia, quid valeat virus amantis equae.
cum voluit, toto glomerantur nubila caelo;
cum voluit, puro fulget in orbe dies.
sanguine, siqua fides, stillantia sidera vidi;...
"...purpureus Lunae sanguine vultus erat.
hanc ego nocturnas versam volitare per umbras
suspicor et pluma corpus anile tegi.”

Ovid, Amores 1.8.1-14

“hos potius populos in dotem, ambage remissa,
accipe et advectas Pygmalionis opes.
Ilion in Tyriam transfer felicius urbem
resque loco regis sceptraque sacra tene!
si tibi mens avida est belli, si quaerit Iulus,... Image
"...unde suo partus Marte triumphus eat,
quem superet, nequid desit, praebebimus hostem;
hic pacis leges, hic locus arma capit.
tu modo, per matrem fraternaque tela, sagittas,
perque fugae comites, Dardana sacra, deos—
sic superent, quoscumque tua de gente reportat...
"...Mars ferus, et damni sit modus ille tui,
Ascaniusque suos feliciter inpleat annos,
et senis Anchisae molliter ossa cubent—
parce, precor, domui, quae se tibi tradit habendam!”

Ovid, Heroides 7.149-163

#LatinForTheDay – 1 March #Tibullus

“Memnona si mater, mater ploravit Achillem,
et tangunt magnas tristia fata deas,
flebilis indignos, Elegia, solve capillos!
a, nimis ex vero nunc tibi nomen erit!—
ille tui vates operis, tua fama, Tibullus... Image
"...ardet in extructo, corpus inane, rogo.
ecce, puer Veneris fert eversamque pharetram
et fractos arcus et sine luce facem;
adspice, demissis ut eat miserabilis alis
pectoraque infesta tundat aperta manu!
excipiunt lacrimas sparsi per colla capilli,...
"...oraque singultu concutiente sonant.
fratris in Aeneae sic illum funere dicunt
egressum tectis, pulcher Iule, tuis;
nec minus est confusa Venus moriente Tibullo,
quam iuveni rupit cum ferus inguen aper.”

Ovid, Amores 3.9.1-16

"If Ovid can seem at times to us in the 21st century a compellingly modern and contemporary voice, so did he in the 16th, 12th, and back in the 1st" - @llewelyn_morgan

This is going to be great...
"Quintilian, it is fair to say, had no sense of humour" - @llewelyn_morgan #Ovid
"There can be only true originality in the presence of established rules" - @llewelyn_morgan.

Good for Roman poetry, good for much else as well... #Ovid
