3100175Ovid, Metamorphoses (3.511733)https://www.gandhi.com.mx/ovid-metamorphoses--3511733--9788027246632/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3325847/aeb2574c-064f-4d06-a972-972bff189106.jpg?v=638385211856230000MXNStudium PublishingOutOfStock/Ebooks/<p>This part of Ovids Theban History recounts the confrontation of Pentheus, king of Thebes, with his divine cousin, Bacchus, the god of wine. Notwithstanding the warnings of the seer Tiresias and the cautionary tale of a character Acoetes (perhaps Bacchus in disguise), who tells of how the god once transformed a group of blasphemous sailors into dolphins, Pentheus refuses to acknowledge the divinity of Bacchus or allow his worship at Thebes. Enraged, yet curious to witness the orgiastic rites of the nascent cult, Pentheus conceals himself in a grove on Mt. Cithaeron near the locus of the ceremonies. But in the course of the rites he is spotted by the female participants who rush upon him in a delusional frenzy, his mother and sisters in the vanguard, and tear him limb from limb. This course book offers a wide-ranging introduction, the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Gildenhard and Zissoss incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Ovids poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.</p>...3036019Ovid, Metamorphoses (3.511733)00https://www.gandhi.com.mx/ovid-metamorphoses--3511733--9788027246632/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3325847/aeb2574c-064f-4d06-a972-972bff189106.jpg?v=638385211856230000OutOfStockMXN0DIEbook20189788027246632_W3siaWQiOiIyNjNlMmIwYS03OWFkLTQ5ZGQtOGIwYi00NmUzMjJhYzJiYzciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoxOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMTlUMTE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788027246632_<p>This part of Ovids Theban History recounts the confrontation of Pentheus, king of Thebes, with his divine cousin, Bacchus, the god of wine.
