Some simple help on the hexameter: basic rules (this is an Aeneid handout) and practical rules for scansion from me, and the "Silver Muse" introduction to "epic versification" (i.e. meter)(note: Silver Muse links seem messed up)   For a good page on the hexameter, with lots of metrical terms defined and illustrated, see the Skidmore page called Hexametrica.  For some basic info see also here (hendecasyllabics, Sapphiocs, and elegiac couplet) and here (hexameter and elegiac couplet).

Fiction

Novels about Ovid I: Christoph Ransmayr, The Last World: A Novel with an Ovidian Repertory (1990); see the "Roman Fiction" page , which calls it a "metaphysical thriller" in which "a young admirer goes in search of the exiled poet ... in the remote Black Sea town of Toni ... [and] finds in the rust-corroded town an ominous scene suffused with and dominated by Ovidian mythology, a transformed place where the ancient world meets the 20th century.

Novels about Ovid II: David Malouf, An Imaginary Life; "Roman fiction" page   Also Ovid in exile.

Novels about Ovid III: The Love-Artist, by Jane Alison (Farrar, Straus & Giroux 2001). Again Ovid in exile, this time inspired by a woamn named Xenia to write his "Medea".
