Ovid's Elegy

This elegy goes from grief to more grief just like Michael Collier's elegy. He talks about mourning for Achilles and Agamemnon and then talks about the suffering in Troy. He is in so much grief he almost does not believe in the gods. It goes into detail about what happened to them after they died which means he wants to go into more grief. " If Memnon's mother mourned, Achilles's mother mourned, and our sad fates can touch great goddesses, then weep, and loose your hair in grief you never earned." (Elegy for Tibullus by Ovid)
