Abstract

Ovid's Heroides, a collection of twenty-one epistles in elegiac verse, consists of two groups, the first comprising fourteen poems addressed by heroines of mythology to their absent lovers or husbands. In this edition, Professor Knox offers a commentary on seven of these epistles, addressing problems of language and style, and focusing on the relationship of the Heroides to the classic works of Greek and Roman literature on which Ovid bases his representation of these women. In addition, he has included a commentary on the Epistula Sapphus, a separate poem of doubtful authorship which was composed in the manner of Ovid and is believed by many to be by him. The Introduction provides an account of the genre, a survey of language, style and metre, and an outline of the problems concerning the authenticity of parts of the collection.

Abstract

With a first birth, a woman naturally becomes a mother, and, in principle, a man becomes a father. The couple is no longer exactly a couple, and a certain art and a good dosage of energy will be necessary in order to exist as such. The couple will welcome the following children as if none had come before, with new gestures each time. Aldo Naouri shows how the birth of a child creates a new ever-changing dialogue and equilibrium within a couple.

Abstract

En deux mille ans d'histoire, l'institution du mariage aura accompagné toutes les mutations de la civilisation occidentale. Religieuses, civiles, forcées ou passionnelles, les noces ont été au centre du droit et de la mystique, de la littérature et de l'art européens. Abordant chroniques, rites et législations, s'appuyant sur des textes anciens comme sur des travaux contemporains, ce panorama étonnant, nourri de portraits et de récits, servi par une belle écriture, montre que le mariage a été et demeure un miroir fidèle de la société. Progressivement, le mariage devient une institution sociale centrale, non sans conflits entre alliances patrimoniales, dynastiques, diplomatiques ou simplement familiales, et choix individuels, entre mariage religieux et mariage civil. Avec la croissance des naissances hors-mariage et du nombre des divorces, le mariage cesse d'être l'institution fondatrice de la famille pour consacrer davantage le lien de deux individus, comme l'atteste aussi la revendication du mariage homosexuel : à l'aube d'une nouvelle mutation, il importe de faire le bilan de ce que fut le mariage dans son histoire.
