An amazing book, Ovid’s understanding of the characters and their longing is clear. Some of the writing can be a bit archaic, but it is worth it!

A classic for a reason. The letters are beautifully written, and the emotions are raw and relatable. It’s a bit slow going, but worth it.

Heroides is a mixed bag. Some letters are captivating, others feel a bit repetitive. Still, Ovid’s skill is apparent, and it’s a valuable historical read.

Interesting concept, but I struggled with the translation. The emotions felt a bit distant, though I appreciate the historical context.

I was expecting more, to be honest. Some letters were poignant, but others fell flat. It’s an okay read, but not my favorite classic.
Paras Bhardwaj –
A fascinating collection of letters. While the language can be dense at times, the emotional depth is undeniable. I particularly enjoyed Dido’s lament.
Aditi Mishra –
Some of the poems are a bit boring but some of them are good. The ones based around the Trojan war or Greek legend are a fantastic read.

Ovid’s Heroides offers a glimpse into the minds of mythological figures. Some letters resonated more than others, but overall, it’s a worthwhile read for classics enthusiasts.
