Remedia Amoris; or, The Remedy of Love by Ovid
"Remedia Amoris; or, The Remedy of Love" by Ovid is an 814-line poem written around 2 AD. This companion piece to "The Art of Love" offers practical advice for escaping unhappy romantic entanglements. Ovid guides both men and women through strategies to fall out of love and avoid emotional bondage, suggesting techniques like staying busy, traveling, and focusing on a lover's flaws. Written with stoic undertones, this didactic work aims to help
readers sidestep the tragic fates of legendary figures like Dido and Medea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
