Excerpt from The First And Second Books Of Ovid's Metamorphoses: With Ovid's Autobiography; Edited For The Use Of Schools
While certain schools with a long course in Latin read from twenty-five hundred to three thousand lines of Ovid, there are many others that can read but fifteen hundred lines. Some model programs and reports call for the latter number. This book, therefore, has been made to contain fifteen hundred lines by the addition of Ovid's Autobiography, which not only serves as a basis for the study of Ovid's life, but also introduces the student to the elegiac pentameter.
