The Art Of Loving
(ovide)
Ovide in the" Art to like? presents us a length poem divided into three books of light inspiration as liked them the fashionable society and frivolous which he frequented.
- In the first book, the author reviews the places where you can meet a woman and begin with her adventures as public walks, theaters, forum and meals. But it is not still enough to find the occasion, it is also necessary to know to seduce. For that purpose, according to Ovid, it is necessary to have confidence and to be sure in himself, to ensure themselves if possible, the complicity of a maidservant, to be fine talker, to look after his behavior and his manners, to count on a little wine for a light euphoria, to compliment and make much oaths because the women do not resist for it, especially if they are ornamented of some stolen kisses.
- In the second book, Ovid does not cease there the lesson because once the woman found and seduce, the must important is to preserve her, to be done, it is necessary to show spirit, a constant softness of character, to be patient and never to discourage themselves. It also should be shown very generous, admirer, completely devoted, extremely careful if she sometimes happens to be inaccurate while knowing that a little jealousy pokes the love.
Ovid also advises to prefer the ripe, young less but more expert women.We are some doubts that the third book was written at the same time but rather than it was added then because it breaks the wire of the two first.
In this last, the author is addressed to the women to indicate to them how they will be able to be made like durably by looking after their face, their hairstyle, by always dissimulating their defects and by showing their charms. It must also be wary of their friends and especially, with the bed they must know to adopt attitudes and positions able to emphasize their physical qualities.
The boldness of the small treaty of Ovid will astonish somewhat, he is besides surely by the August emperor, because of this text . During his exile he write several pleas in connection with art to like while being excused and being justified
