About the author

Ovid

-43–17

A witty and inventive Roman poet, he remains best known for the dazzling myths of the Metamorphoses and for love poetry that shaped later literature for centuries. His life took a dramatic turn when he was exiled by Augustus, and that experience gave his later work a more personal, sorrowful tone.
