Learning Outcomes
The students of this class will know the peculiar poetic quality of Fasti in the frame of the Ovidian oeuvre, of the Roman religion and of the Augustan politics. They will also learn about Roman religion, Roman calendary and Roman politics and society at the beginnings of the 1st cent. C.a. They will have developed a critic meditation about the possibilities of the elegiac poetry, since Fasti incorporates different modes, such as aetiological, didactic and narrative poetry.
