“Heroides” is Ovid’s collection of twenty one elegiac poems in the form of dramatic letters, giving voice to heroines and heroes from Greek and Roman myth. These epistolary monologues reveal the happiness and torment of love abandonment, betrayal, longing and rage as figures like Penelope, Dido and Sappho address absent or unfaithful lovers. This Penguin Classics edition presents the poems in accessible translation with introduction and notes, making it ideal for readers searching for “Ovid love poetry,” “myth retellings,” and “Roman classics in translation.”
