I was bored and then I remembered about the Sabinus/Cotta ship and how it exists and then I was like, wooooo the world is so sweet and tragic.

I was looking around tumblr and I saw a post that said, "If you're sad, just remember that you don't look like you did in sixth grade." I can always use some cheering up, so I tried to remember what I looked like in sixth grade. That's when I remembered that I skipped from fifth grade to seventh grade. I am so fucking cheered up now! At least I exist!!

OMG I'm on the wiki page for Ovid's Amores and I think it was written by a not too bright A Level student.

The only poems given summaries for Book 3 are the ones on the A Level syllabus:

Book 3[edit]

3.1

3.2 - Ovid woos a girl at the races.

3.3

3.4 - Ovid tries to persuade a man to let him have sex with his wife.

3.5 - Ovid has a dream about a white cow.

3.6

3.7

3.8

3.9

3.10

3.11

3.12

3.13

3.14 - Ovid instructs his partner to not tell him about her affairs.

"Ovid tries to persuade a man to let him have sex with his wife."

Ummmmmm... that's a rather, um, uninspired summary. Ditto "Ovid has a dream about a white cow". OMG this makes the poems sound SO. LAME. It's amazing. Clearly this student thought they were lame.

Subheading under "Use of Humour" (a popular mini-essay question at AS Level and what my class will be looking at):

Use of Humour[edit]

Ovid's love elegies stand apart from others in the genre by his use of humour.

That's all, folks. That's all there is to know about Ovid's use of humour in the Amores.

We've nailed it, class. Everyone else go home.

EDIT: Maybe this week's homework should be to edit the wikipedia page. My class can so kick the asses of whoever did it last.
