The essays in this volume analyze the reception of Ovid's works (Metamorphoses and Heroides in particular) in various epochs, focusing on the adaptations of erotic representations and of sexualized violence. As in Ovid's texts themselves, it is the problematic relationship of violence and language that most affects generic attributions, the search for identity, and role awareness.
