Sea Fishing. Consolation","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BCE–17 CE), born at Sulmo, studied rhetoric and law at Rome. Later he did considerable public service there, and otherwise devoted himself to poetry and to society. Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus by his \u003ci\u003eArs Amatoria\u003c\/i\u003e, and was banished because of this work and some other reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of Tomis on the Black Sea. He continued writing poetry, a kindly man, leading a temperate life. He died in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOvid's main surviving works are the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e, a source of inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare; the \u003ci\u003eFasti\u003c\/i\u003e, a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid finished only half; the \u003ci\u003eAmores\u003c\/i\u003e, love poems; the \u003ci\u003eArs Amatoria\u003c\/i\u003e, not moral but clever and in parts beautiful; \u003ci\u003eHeroides\u003c\/i\u003e, fictitious love letters by legendary women to absent husbands; and the dismal works written in exile: the \u003ci\u003eTristia\u003c\/i\u003e, appeals to persons including his wife and also the emperor; and similar \u003ci\u003eEpistulae ex Ponto\u003c\/i\u003e. Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic, and lucid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loeb Classical Library edition of \u003ci\u003eArt of Love. Cosmetics.
