Remedia Amoris; or, The Remedy of Love Literally Translated into English Prose, with Copious Notes Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Remedia Amoris; or, The Remedy of Love" by Ovid is a poetic treatise written in the late 1st century BC. This work can be categorized as a didactic poem and serves as a sequel to Ovid's earlier work, "Ars Amatoria." The central topic of this book is the exploration of love's complexities and the various remedies for overcoming unrequited or overwhelming passion. In "Remedia Amoris," Ovid offers advice to lovers suffering from heartache, providing a mix of practical tips and philosophical musings on love itself. He discusses the dangers of idle passion and emphasizes the importance of self-discipline as a strategy to mitigate emotional suffering. The text illustrates various strategies for overcoming love, including avoidance, engagement in productive activities, and employing distraction techniques. Ovid also incorporates examples from mythology, pointing out how various figures faced their struggles with love and pain, thus intertwining personal guidance with broader cultural narratives. Through humor, vivid imagery, and rich metaphors, the poem ultimately reflects on the lighter side of love's turmoil, suggesting that healing from heartbreak is possible by transforming one's perspective on love and the beloved.
