Ovid Book One

As i took a look around the classes blogs, i have decided that the ovidian sentences were pretty well mined out before i got around to doing mine. Therefore i have decided instead to use direct quotes from five stories per book that best describe or sum up the stories from which they are taken.

   The Creation

"an animal with higher intellect, more noble, able-- one to rule the rest: such was the living thing the earth still lacked." (0vid 5)

   Lycaon
"it would be useless to describe each sacrilige I found-- upon all sides: the truth was far, far worse than what I'd heard." (0vid 11)

   The Flood
"he'd send a deluge down from every part of heaven" (0vid 13)

   Deucalion & Pyrrha
"all the lands both east and west are empty now--and we alone are left: the sea has taken all the rest." (0vid 16-17)



   Apollo & Daphne

"the god of Delos is aflame with love; but Daphne hates its very name;" (Ovid 21)
