"The Art of Love" or "Ars amatoria" is a three-book instructional elegy series written by the ancient Roman poet Ovid in 2 AD. The first book offers advice to men on finding a woman, while the second book focuses on how to keep her. The third book, written two years later, provides guidance for women on winning and maintaining a man's love. Ovid covers various topics in the books, including remembering important dates, creating longing in the relationship, and avoiding certain questions. Despite being completed in 2 AD, much of Ovid's advice remains relevant today. The book combines mythological references, daily Roman life, and human experiences to entertain its readers. Ovid employs irony and wit in discussing love, likening it to military service and emphasizing the need for mutual fulfillment. While the book addresses sexual matters, Ovid maintains a discreet and tasteful approach, avoiding obscenity. The series concludes with a discussion of sexual positions, with Ovid humorously suggesting that tall women should avoid certain postures. Composed in elegiac couplets, "Ars amatoria" serves as a practical guide or "textbook" rather than a purely artistic endeavor.
