The Amours is a series of poems that explore the joys and sorrows of love, while the Art of Love and Remedy of Love offer advice on how to find and maintain a successful relationship. This edition of Ovid's works also includes several minor works, such as the Cures for Love and the Medicamina Faciei Femineae, which provide tips for women on how to enhance their beauty.
