I Love The Beauty That Isn’t Mine: Ovid’s Metamorphoses
Manage episode 298202605 series 2921930
Narcissus was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. According to Tzetzes, he rejected all romantic advances, eventually falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, staring at it for the remainder of his life. After he died, in his place sprouted a flower bearing his name.
This episode explores how aspects of psychoanalysis, in particular, gender, sexuality, visual pleasure, as well as self and other, are represented.

Ovid, Metamorphoses

This episode is dedicated to Dr. Vincent Farenga, Professor of Classics at University of Southern California. Part of the contents in this episode derive from his comparative literature 101 class called “Masterminds and Masterpieces,” taught in 2019 fall semester when I was his teaching assistant. Prof. Farenga’s class, a survey of Western canonical classics, has always remained the most enlightening lecture of all time.
