ok so this isnt about the giants, but....
It is about the author Ovid. Ovid wrote a series of three book entitled the books of love. In these books, Ovid covers three subjects, first for single men, how to get a girl, second for those men with girls, how too keep them, third is for the women and how they should act to keep their men. These books are not the holy grail to relationship advice, it was written a long time ago so it is outdated but, the principals still work, there is only one problem i have with Ovid. In his first book about men trying to "get" women he talks about being freindly to the female who your trying to acquires's suitor. With this statement Ovid is basically telling you to go after married women. This is adultry, now God knows im not the best Catholic around but i like to beleieve and try to follow rules as much as possible. What Ovid is suggesting directly breaks one of the ten commandments, theres only ten, you can live with not breaking any of them. God knows i have broken one, maybe two depending on your definition of one of them, but what Ovid is preaching and supportin g is a direct violation against the commandment regarding adultry. In short, i love the way Ovid writes his works are long, but helpful and intelligible, but, being a fairly good religous man i cannot condone his ideas, his methods may work, but his ideas about married women are not one i would like to follow.
