Question

A Donna Zuckerberg book’s third chapter, titled for this author’s “Method,” demands an ironic reading of his poem calling a mistress’ birthday “one of great terror.” Christopher Marlowe's translation of an elegy (-5[1])by this author changes some of the speaker’s lament of his impotence into insults toward his partner. (15[1])The speaker of a poem by this author succumbs to being a “fresh prize” for a god who “stole a foot away” (15[3])and shot (15[1])him through (-5[1])the heart (15[1])with an (*) arrow. (10[2])This poet unconventionally stuck (-5[1])to elegiac couplets for a didactic work that imagines the Rape of the Sabine Women as a theatrical production. (10[1])The first two of the three sections in that poetic work by this author give male readers advice on how to pick up (10[1])women. (10[6]-5[2])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[2])name (10[2])this (10[1])Roman poet (-5[1])of Amores and Ars Amatoria. (10[3])■END■ (10[7]0[5])

ANSWER: Ovid [or Publius Ovidius Naso, accept “The Ovid Method”] (the Donna Zuckerberg book is called Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age)
