OVID
OVID
Ovid• Born in Sulmo in 43 BC• Died in 17/18 AD• Educated in Rome• His father wanted him to study rhetoric and law• Ovid wanted to be a poet instead• He produced an incredibly large amount of poetry in
a range of genres, and is regarded as one of the great poets of antiquity
• In 8 AD, exiled to Tomis, on the black sea, for ‘carmen et error’
• Died there 10 years later
What kind of poetry did Ovid write?• Rhetorical training• His early work is about love (amores, ars amatoria, remedia amoris)
– Cheeky, irreverent; also moving
• His masterpiece is the Metamorphoses– Provides a history of the world from the Creation to the death of Julius
Caesar – but with a twist: each story contains a metamorphosis – A large-scale poem in 15 books written in hexameters– It aspires to rival the great epic poets of the classical tradition (Virgil &
Homer) – but on Ovid’s own terms.
• Tristia, (sorrows), published in 10 AD, autobiographical poem following his exile
• Epistulae a Ponto, (letters from the black sea)• Influenced by Alexandrian poetry – learned and sophisticated• Influenced by tragedy
