Dan Curley, associate professor of classics, is the author of a new book published by Cambridge University Press. Tragedy in Ovid: Theater, Metatheater, and the Transformation of a Genre, surveys tragic characters, motifs, and modalities in Ovid鈥檚 Heroides and Metamorphoses. Through close readings of these poems, Curley demonstrates Ovid鈥檚 career-long fascination with the genre of tragedy, which began with his now-lost Medea. Curley also suggests that Ovidian presentation of tragedy on the page instead of the stage is a landmark in the history of the theater, and establishes Ovid as a missing link between the Greek and Roman playwrights Euripides and Seneca.
