Medicines for love

In his poem "Cure for Love", Ovid turns to the opposite theme of "The Art of Love" - ​​he teaches how to overcome falling in love. Although this may seem like a humorous subject, the poem reveals the poet's deep erudition and his wide-ranging interests, particularly in the mystery of the female soul. The deep truth of life is hidden behind the humorous images and wordplay, which makes this work of Ovid so interesting and informative even today.
