I Might Believe in Faeries

Moralizing Ovid (ft. Sarah-Jane Murray)


Listen Later

Ovid was a Roman poet who wrote a 15-book catalogue that came to be known as The Metamorphosis. The stories are all based on Greek and Roman mythology and most consist in some sort of grotesque physical transformation as a result of the antics of the pagan gods.

Ovid became so popular in Christian culture that there developed an entire mythographic tradition of interpretation. The culmination of this tradition is The Medieval French Ovide moralisé written by an unknown author in Medieval France.

For the first time, this gigantic poem has been translated into another language (English) and I am joined by one of the translators, Sarah-Jane (SJ) Murray, to discuss Ovid, the Ovide moralisé, myth and much more.

In 2023, SJ Murray started a non-profit film company, The Greats Story Lab, and are currently involved in making a film on the philosopher, Boethius.
