Publius Ovidius Naso
Roman poet, known to the English-speaking waorld as OVID who wrote on many topics, including love, seduction, and mythological transformations. Traditionally ranked alongside Virgil and Horace as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature, Ovis was generally considered a great master of the elegiac couplet. His poetry, much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, had a decisive influence on European art and literature for centuries. Elegiac couplets are the meter of most Ovid’s works: The Amores, his two long poems (the Ars Amatoria and Remedia Amoris), his poem on the Roman calendar (the Fasti) , the minor work Medicamena Faciei Femineae (on make up), his fictional letters from mythological heroines(the Heroides or Epistulae Heroidum), and all the works written in his exile (five books of the Trista, four of the Epistula ex Ponto, and the long-curse poem Ibis). The two fragments of lost tragedy Medea are in iambic trimeter and anapests, respectively; the Metamorphoses was written in dactylic hexameter. (Dactylic hexameter is the meter of Virgil’s Aeneid and of Homer’s epics) Ovid was born in Sulmo (modern Sulmona), which lies in a valley within the Apennies, east of Rome. He was born into an equestrian his ranked family and was educated in Rome. His father wished him to study rhetoric with the ultimate goal of practising law. According to Seneca the Elder, Ovid learned toward the emotional side of rhetoric as opposed to the argumentative. After the death of his father, Ovid renounced law and began his travels. He traveled to Athens, Asia, Minor and Sicily. He also held some minor public posts, but quickly gave them up to pursue his poetry. He was the part of the circle centered around the patron Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinius. He was married three times and divorced twice by the age of 30. from one marriage he had a daughter. By 8 AD, Ovid had completed his most famous work: Metamorphoses, an epic poem drawing on Greek mythology. The poem’s subject, as the author indicates at the outset, is ‘forms changed into new bodies’. From the emergence of the cosmos from formless mass into the organized material world to the deification of julius Caesar many chapters later, the poem weaves tales of transformation. The stories are woven one after the other by the telling of humans transformed into new bodies- trees, rocks, animals, flowers, constellations and so forth. Many famous myths are recounted such as Apollo and Daphne, Orpheus and Eurydice and Pygmalion. It offers an explanation to many alluded myths in other works. It is also a valuable source for those attempting to piece together Roman religion , as many characters in the book are Olympian gods or their offspring. Download 497.14 Kb.
