Latin Ovid Amores III
Latin Ovid Text – Amores III

'Non ego nobilium sedeo studiosus equorum; cui tamen ipsa faves, vincat ut ille, precor. ut loquerer tecum veni, tecumque sederem, ne tibi non notus, quem facis, esset amor. tu cursus spectas, ego te; spectemus uterque quod iuvat, atque oculos pascat uterque suos.
O, cuicumque faves, felix agitator equorum! ergo illi curae contigit esse tuae? hoc mihi contingat, sacro de carcere missis insistam forti mente vehendus equis, et modo lora dabo, modo verbere terga notabo, nunc stringam metas interiore rota. si mihi currenti fueris conspecta, morabor, deque meis manibus lora remissa fluent. at quam paene Pelops Pisaea concidit hasta, dum spectat vultus, Hippodamia, tuos! nempe favore suae vicit tamen ille puellae. vincamus dominae quisque favore suae!
Quid frustra refugis? cogit nos linea iungi. haec in lege loci commoda circus habet — tu tamen a dextra, quicumque es, parce puellae; contactu lateris laeditur ista tui. tu quoque, qui spectas post nos, tua contrahe crura, si pudor est, rigido nec preme terga genu!
Sed nimium demissa iacent tibi pallia terra. collige — vel digitis en ego tollo meis! invida vestis eras, quae tam bona crura tegebas; quoque magis spectes — invida vestis eras! talia Milanion Atalantes crura fugacis optavit manibus sustinuisse suis. talia pinguntur succinctae crura Dianae cum sequitur fortes, fortior ipsa, feras. his ego non visis arsi; quid fiet ab ipsis? in flammam flammas, in mare fundis aquas. suspicor ex istis et cetera posse placere, quae bene sub tenui condita veste latent.
Vis tamen interea faciles arcessere ventos? quos faciet nostra mota tabella manu. an magis hic meus est animi, non aeris aestus, captaque femineus pectora torret amor? dum loquor, alba levi sparsa est tibi pulvere vestis. sordide de niveo corpore pulvis abi!
Sed iam pompa venit — linguis animisque favete!

    Ovid's decision to make myth the dominant subject of the Metamorphoses was influenced by the predisposition of Alexandrian poetry.[4] However, whereas it served in that tradition as the cause for moral reflection or insight, he made it instead the "object of play and artful manipulation".[4] The model for a collection of metamorphosis myths derived from a pre-existing genre of metamorphosis poetry in the Hellenistic tradition, of which the earliest known example is Boio(s)' Ornithogonia — a now-fragmentary poem collecting myths about the metamorphoses of humans into birds.[5]…

    “Oedipus the King” was a tale depicting the human experience; each human has a great victory, shortly accompanied by a great demise; the rollercoaster of life. Oedipus had his great success soon become the reason for his fall. With Oedipus’ deadly flaw being ‘hubris’; his excessive pride led him to believe he was on the level of ‘gods’. Once he paraded that he was invulnerable (untouchable by even the gods), his fall would be all the more tragic. Throughout the tale however, Oedipus uses many rhetorical devices towards all his subjects without even recognizing.…

    Oedipus the King

    In this play, Oedipus the King, there are any references to eyes, sight, and the lacks thereof are made throughout Oedipus the King. There are parts where characters have limited physical sight, such as Teiresias's blindness, and there are also parts where their sight, in the form of perception, is limited. Most importantly, sight is used in the play as a symbol for knowledge, such as the how the oracles and the "seer" (16), Teiresias, can 'see' the truth. The play is about Oedipus's quest for knowledge and his attempts to avoid his fate. The underlying question of Oedipus the King is if one can escape their fate. Sophocles presents this question by using sight as a symbol for knowledge, and then leaves guidance for answering the question by showing that being sighted or blind can determine if one can control their fate.…

    Of all the tragedies that Greek playwright Sophocles created in his illustrious career, the one that stands out as his masterpiece, and quite possibly one of the greatest of all the Greek tragedies is Oedipus the King. The tragedy focuses on the life and downfall of the unfortunate King Oedipus, who was condemned by the oracle at an early age to murder his father and marry his mother. Despite the oracle’s grim prediction, Oedipus was responsible for his own downfall due to his overly proud and impetuous attitude, and his own intellect and diligence.…

    In Oedipus the King, Oedipus is the new king of Thebes after the former king, Laius, was killed. Thebes has been cursed, and a prophet of the god Apollo tells Oedipus that Laius' killer must be banished from Thebes. Oedipus begins on a disastrous quest to find the assassin, and finds that he is the one he seeks. He pierces his eyes and tries to kill himself, and is banished from Thebes at the end of the play. Oedipus realizes his foolishness at the end of the play, comparing his lack of wisdom to blindness. Tiresias the blind prophet “sees” more than Oedipus, who has his sight. This idea of sight and blindness is a major theme in Oedipus the King.…

    At the beginning of the play, the city of Thebes is cursed terribly. Citizens are dying from plague, crops fail, women are dying in childbirth and their babies are stillborn. Some priests come to the royal palace to ask for help from Oedipus, the current king of Thebes who once saved them from the tyranny of the terrible Sphinx. By this time, Oedipus has sent his brother-in-law, Creon, to the oracle of the god Apollo to seek advice from divine sources. But before Oedipus had ever arrived in Thebes, the previous king, Laius, was murdered under mysterious circumstances and the murderer was never found. When Oedipus arrived in Thebes and saved the city, he was made king and married the widowed queen, Jocasta, sister of Creon. Now Creon returns with the oracle’s news: for the plague to be lifted from the city, the murderer of Laius must be discovered and punished.…
