What reading level is The Amores of Ovid a Lecture Delivered in the Hall of Corpus Christi College On book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
9, if the right reading there, which however is quite uncertain, is ignicolorius alas In morem picta stabit Amor pharetra.
That Ovid had in his mind some such conception of Amor, i. E. Tinted with a suffusion of pink or roseate colour, seems more than probable. At any rate the thrice- recurring epithet piirpureus, and the fact that the Amoves may almost be marked off from the other elegiac works of Ovid by this combination of ptt^'/^urewy with Amor, points, 1 think, to some such conclusion. If ...the earlier distribu- tion of the Amoves into 5 instead of 3 books had been preserved in any copy, we should be better able to speak with confidence about this; we might then decide whether, as is my suspicion, the verse in which Ovid speaks of purpureal Love as dictating his verses, was the original upon which the other two — Notaque purpureus tela resumit Amor, and Purpureus Bacchi cornua pressit Amor — were framed. As it is, such a guess is little more than a possible hariolation, although I might urge in support of such a view that in the second and third of the above- quoted instances 'purpureus has no special force; in the first of the three it has : Love's roseate gleam lights up the verses it dictates, and Love becomes henceforward pur- pureal throughout the poem.
