Ovid

Ovid wrote the Art of Love and to be completely honest- I liked where he was going. He had a few points that were a little out there, but then again- who doesn't? Some of his "techniques" should never be used like going after a married woman. Getting close with the husband so he doesn't expect anything from you. That is quite the opposite thing to do in a situation. You shouldn't be going after a married person. Many people do because they like the chase, the idea that the one woman they can't have, they might be able to if they fight hard enough. I liked a lot of his ideas like being in good terms with the person your going afters best friend, because if they like you, then they could put a good word in. In addition, how the men should be kept fresh cut and clean and not to be inebriated when trying to pursue her, because then you never will. He has a good way of writing and I enjoyed reading his stories.
