Publius Ovidius Naso was born on 20 March 43 BCE in Sulmona, Italy . He was a contemporary of Virgil and Horace, and together they defined the Golden Age of Latin poetry . He was educated in rhetoric and law, but his true calling was poetry. His first major work, the Amores, was a collection of love elegies that established his reputation as a witty and sophisticated poet. He followed this with the Heroides, a collection of letters from mythological heroines, and the Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love), a didactic poem on the art of seduction that scandalised Roman society. His masterpiece, the Metamorphoses, is a continuous narrative of transformations in Greek and Roman mythology, a work of unparalleled imagination and influence . He also wrote the Fasti, a poetic calendar of the Roman festivals, and the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, laments written during his exile. He was exiled by the Emperor Augustus in 8 CE to Tomis (modern-day Constanศa, Romania), a remote and harsh region on the Black Sea . He died there in 17 or 18 CE, never to see Rome again.
Key Works:
Metamorphoses (8 CE) โ His masterpiece, a continuous narrative of Greek and Roman myths of transformation

Ovid's journey was one of extraordinary literary brilliance and dramatic personal tragedy. Born into a wealthy equestrian family, he rose to become the most celebrated poet of his age. His works were the talk of Rome, admired and imitated by his contemporaries. But his life took a dark turn in 8 CE when Augustus exiled him to the Black Sea. The reasons for his banishment remain a mystery; he alluded to "a poem and a mistake" (carmen et error), suggesting that his Ars Amatoria and some unspecified indiscretion had offended the emperor . In exile, his poetry became reflective and melancholic, as he longed for his lost Rome. He never returned, and he died far from the city that had been the centre of his world. His work, however, lived on. The Metamorphoses became one of the most influential works in Western literature, a fountain of inspiration for Chaucer, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, and countless others.
