Original
Amores is Ovid's first completed book of poetry, written in elegiac couplets. It was first published in 16 BC in 5 books, but Ovid by his own account later edited it down into the 3-book edition that has come down to us. The book follows the popular model of the erotic elegy, as made famous by figures such as Tibullus or Propertius, but is often subversive and humorous with these tropes, exaggerating common motifs and devices to the point of absurdity.

The Amores is a poetic first person account of the poetic persona's love affair with an unattainable higher class girl, Corinna. The plot is linear, with a few artistic digressions such as an elegy on the death of Tibullus.

Revised
Amores is Ovid's first completed book of poetry, written in elegiac couplets. He adopted this form of writing from Greek writers before his time. The word Amores translates to "The loves" and it was published at internals that started to be published in 16 BC in the form of 5 books. Later by Ovid's own account he edited it down into the 3-book edition that is provided to us. Amores is a in the form of short poems about the love affair with an upper class women, Corinna. It has not been proven that Corinna is a real life person, or if she is a women of his imagination. The book follows the popular model of the erotic elegy, as made famous by figures such as Tibullus or Propertius, but is often subversive and humorous with these tropes, exaggerating common motifs and devices to the point of absurdity.

The organizational structure for the three books is linear, with a few artistic digressions such as an elegy on the death of Tibullus.
