Fasti
Ovid
Book Overview:
The Fasti is a Latin poem in six books, written by Ovid and believed to have been published in 8 AD. The Fasti is organized according to the Roman calendar and explains the origins of Roman holidays and associated customs, often through the mouths of deities and with multiple aetiologies. The poem was left unfinished when the poet was exiled to Tomis, so only the first six months of the year appear in the poem.

It took a minute (or a week), but Fasti started clicking, and after reading the intro in the Penguin edition, I'm blown away by its political subversion---perfect for the times. It's as though Ovid's attempting to justify his exile, and sees the writing on the wall in Tomis that here's an empire in
A little Metamorphoses, the Ursa Minor to its Major, with the same kind of etiological storytelling revolving around festivals and rituals. Ovid is still playful, though it's a bit more muted, especially with the calendar structure to adhere to. The great joke of the Fasti is that it stopped just be
