They offer a new perspective on the otherwise male-centred mythological tradition. \u003ci\u003eHeroides\u003c\/i\u003e I (from Penelope) and VII (from Dido) respond to the most famous Classical epics, Homer’s \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and Virgil’s \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, by presenting a new, less positive, angle on the two famous epic heroes. Through his heroines' unique voices, Ovid plays with literary tradition, inviting us all to take a side: epic heroism or loyalty in love?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResources are available on the Companion Website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463991673068,"sku":"9781350060265","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350060265-ovid-heroides-a-selection.jpg?v=1775038006","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ovid-heroides-a-selection-9781350060265","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
