Ovid's Metamorphoses Anonymous 2016-05-30 16:08:29 Post No. 8101155 [Report]

What is the correct way of reading Ovid's Metamorphoses? Should I consult secondary sources whilst reading?

I mean, are you analyzing them or reading them?

Read Homer and The Aeneid and you're good to go senpai

Just read it. It's just a compilation of stories and myths, not Ulysses.

This.

If you can't read it in Latin, don't bother reading it at all.

I think I understand what you mean. It is a great book, the "just" referred to its reading difficulty, not qualify.

No, I suppose you are right. I just reflexively post meme arrows wherever someone makes a definitive statement.
