In his Handbook of Latin Literature H. J. Rose states, "Didactic Poetry had already been tried often enough, and sometimes it had been mildly humorous; Ovid hit on the brilliant plan of making it amatory, and thus achieved a masterpiece, never equaled in its own kind."
Well-chosen selections and pithy summaries make this text an entertaining and effective learning tool for advanced students in either high school (AP* Latin Literature) or college. Thompson has enhanced Ovid's Latin text with an excellent introduction, line-by-line notes, English summaries for the main sections and a basic vocabulary fold-out page.

Author Bio
Dr. Graves Haydon Thompson (1907-2003)
A native of Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. Graves Haydon Thompson received his PhD from Harvard University in 1931. From 1931 to 1939, Dr. Thompson was professor of ancient languages at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. Dr. Thompson returned to his alma mater, Hampden-Sydney College, in 1939 to teach Latin, Greek, German, and French and to begin a career that formally ended with his "retirement" in 1977 although he continued to teach classes until 1993, serving on the faculty longer than anyone else in the history of the College. During those years he also taught English etymology, art history, and analytical geometry. Dr. Thompson single-handedly introduced fine arts to the Hampden-Sydney curriculum, first with art history and then music appreciation. For 30 years, he sustained and extolled the fine arts at Hampden-Sydney College both in and outside the classroom.
In 1977, Dr. Thompson was honored by the Classical Association of the Middle West and South; he served as president and wrote the history of the Southern Section.
In his commencement address in May 1976, marking the end of the 200th academic year at Hampden-Sydney College, Dr. Thompson said, " . . . as you go out to meet the demands of life. . . keep in mind those old Roman virtues: gravitas, a sense of responsibility; Simplicitas, openness, directness, honesty; and pietas, loyalty to whatever organization, institution, or business you may become connected with; to your associates, your friends, your family, your country, your God."
