Goal and methods Ovid's goal was to provide, for men and women alike, advice on how to escape safely from an unhappy love affair - emotional bondage - without falling into the tragic ends of such legendary figures as Dido or Medea. Among the techniques he suggested were: keeping busy; travelling; avoiding wine and love poetry (!); and concentrating on the beloved's defects rather than their strong points. Critical reactions *Alexander Neckam in the Middle Ages thought that ''De Remedio Amoris'' was ''the'' most important book of Ovid's for scholars to read. *Victorian views, ...
