This comprehensive Latin workbook provides students with essential tools for mastering Ovid's poetic works through systematic grammar review, vocabulary building, and translation practice. The text methodically breaks down complex passages from Ovid's Metamorphoses and other works, offering clear explanations of grammatical constructions and poetic devices that challenge intermediate Latin learners. Each chapter builds progressively from simpler to more difficult excerpts, allowing students to develop confidence while working with authentic Latin poetry.

What sets this resource apart is its practical approach to overcoming common stumbling blocks in reading Ovid, including detailed analysis of word order, meter, and mythological references that enrich understanding. The workbook's structured exercises and reading comprehension questions make it particularly valuable for advanced high school students and college undergraduates preparing for exams or seeking to improve their translation skills. For anyone serious about developing fluency with Latin poetry, this workbook delivers the focused practice needed to navigate Ovid's elegant but challenging style with greater ease and accuracy.
