History Creator / Ovid

* ''Amores''

!!Tropes associated with Ovid's works:

* HeartIsWhereTheHomeIs: In ''Literature/{{Heroides}}'', Penelope worries there's a love triangle between her (from Ithaca/Greece), her husband (also Ithacan/Greek), and a "foreign" woman (who the audience knows is the witch Circe from Aiaia, though Penelope doesn't actually know she exists). Not only is her husband with Circe until he finally leaves to come back home to Penelope, but she specifically worries that he won't come home because he'll find a more exotic, interesting woman (while she's too "provincial" and plain), making this trope OlderThanFeudalism.

!!Tropes associated to Ovid's works:

'''Publius Ovidius Naso''' was a Roman poet, more frequently known today as Ovid, and a contemporary of [[Creator/{{Virgil}} Publius Vergilius Maro]]. He lived from 43 BC to ''circa'' 18 AD.

His early works included the ''Amores'' (''The Loves''), the ''Epistolae Heroidum'' (''Epistles of the Heroines''), the ''Medicamina faciei'' (''Cosmetics''), the ''Ars amatoria'' (''The Art of Love''), and the ''Remedia amoris'' (''Remedies for Love''). He also completed his epic ''Literature/{{Metamorphoses}}'' in the year 8 AD.

Today, Ovid's works remain among the well known classical works -- his ''Literature/{{Metamorphoses}}'', for instance, serves as our best source for countless myths.

After this, however, Ovid was banished. The poet blamed ''carmen et error''[[note]]A poem and an error[[/note]] for his exile, though exactly what caused EmperorAugustus to banish him remains unknown. During this time Ovid wrote ''Tristia'' and ''Epistulae ex Ponto'', which were clearly affected by his despair over his exile. Neither Augustus nor his successor relented, and Ovid finally died in Tomi, around 18 AD.
