One attack specifically on Behn's version of the Ovidian epistle is to be found in A Satyr on the Modern Translators, an invective aimed in large part at Dryden, particularly at Ovid's Epistles, and attributed to Matthew Prior. Despite being printed by a Whig publisher, the collection attracted outspoken criticism from Whig writers, criticism often directed at well-known Tory contributors such as Dryden and Behn. Aphra Behn's Oenone to Paris, the paraphrase of Ovid's Heroides 5 which she contributed to John Dryden's and Jacob Tonson's Ovid's Epistles in 1680, was attacked in scathing terms almost from the moment the hugely successful collection appeared. ![]() ![]() And when just-for-show kisses stir up forgotten feelings, things get even more complicated.
