Greed, Gold, Comedy, and History
Fun read! Interesting that Ovid's Midas gets away by cleansing away 'wealth' -- in light of Ovid being exiled by the policing piety of Augustus.
definitely, and thank you! Ovid is certainly cheeky with his political references, and with the metamorphoses
being complete just before he went into exile (but published in exile) he definitely flew too close to the sun a lot!
