Weekend Roundup

Myths and Metamorphoses

Jun 09, 2024

Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

We’re in a very mythic mode these days…

This week we looked at Aristotle’s Poetics, his famed analysis of Greek tragedy. Discover what this blend of scientific and artistic thinking has to say about ancient drama, human nature, and our need to tell stories.

Plus, for our Members, we have an exclusive in-depth article on Ovid’s Metamorphoses, taken from our e-book edition of the Roman poet’s masterwork of mythology. Members can access both the article and the e-book just below.

Speaking of all things mythological, if you’re interested in Greek myth, or just the Classics in general, we have a special podcast coming very soon. Stay tuned!

And if you’re interested in something a little more historic or scientific, we also had a look at the Atomists, ancient pioneers of science.

Check it all out just below…
