Ovid's Heroides, written in Rome some time between 25 and 16 BC, was once his most popular work. It has been claimed as both the first book of dramatic monologues and the first of epistolary fiction. The title translates as Heroines, and it's a series of poems in the voices of women from Greek and Roman myth - including Phaedra, Medea, Penelope and Ariadne - addressed to the men they love.
For a long time it was Ovid's most influential work, loved by Chaucer, Dante, Marlowe, Shakespeare and Donne, and translated by Dryden and Pope. It's also a radical text in its literary transvestism, and the way it often presents the same story from very different, subjective perspectives. Clare Pollard's new translation rediscovers Ovid's Heroines for the 21st century, with a cast of women who are brave, bitchy, sexy, suicidal, horrifying, heartbreaking and surprisingly modern.
