ovid: reading schedule for june

Publius Ovidius Naso in the Nuremberg chronicleWe have two chats planned for June about the works of the poet Ovid (Wikipedia, handle with care).  With the limited time we have, I think it's best to concentrate on his two major works:

June 4     The Metamorphoses
the creation and history of the world
June 11     (optional) other works*
June 18     Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love)
plus Amores, Remedia Amoris?

*If anyone wishes to discuss the other works, I offer another chat in between, on June 11. I'm especially interested in the poems and letters from exile (Tristia, Ex Ponto, Ibis).  And there are also the Fasti.

All A.S. Kline translations (in NOTES on this blog)
There are other online translations available.
Google books of and about Ovid.

In print: Ovid

Then there are the Loeb's editions which are not all in print right now, but which you might find in your public library.
