Enthusiastic about Latin poetry, especially Ovid. Commentary on a selection of Ovid’s Heroides has just been published by Oxford UP.

I’m reliably informed that this has now been published. (I haven’t seen a copy yet.)

Really enjoyed the Rome exhibition at the Melbourne Museum today. Very interesting selection of objects beautifully displayed.

@hanb.bsky.social See what I found in a very good bookshop in Perth WA!

I came across this statue of Medusa in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (1880). I wasn’t aware that she is represented as having wings attached to her head. She is very much focused on her hair. That is not surprising.

I learned this morning that this has now been published. I hope to have a copy next week!

I think that this is the heart of the issue: disagreement about V’s representation of Aeneas. I think that the passage was excluded precisely because it puts Aeneas in a bad light.
