A special addition!
Salvete Ovid Lovers!
There will be a special addition to April’s newsletters: my own translation of Ovid’s Fasti Liber IV!
My primary interest in starting Ovid Daily came from my deep love of and fascination with Liber IV of Ovid’s Fasti. I initially encountered Ovid’s calendrical epic during an undergraduate survey of his corpus, and I completely fell in love with the conversational tone of the poem. After my graduation, I began translating Liber IV as a side project and it quickly snowballed into a multi-year effort. I finally finished my translation in February 2022, and I am overjoyed to be able to share it with the readers of Ovid Daily now.
There will be a link at the end of all the emails this month for my translation of each section. However, the emailed portion of the newsletter will not change: it will still be Frazer’s edition of the Fasti. I will not be sending out separate emails for my translation, but I do encourage you to click through and read it!
I hope you have as much fun reading my translation as I had working on it, and as always I deeply appreciate your support of Ovid Daily.
Thank you so much for subscribing!
