About Ovid
Ovid, born Publius Ovidius Naso in 43 BCE in Sulmona, Italy, was a prominent Roman poet best known for his narrative poem "Metamorphoses," which explores themes of transformation and mythology. His innovative use of wit and elegant language garnered him great acclaim during the reign of Augustus, but his subsequent exile to Tomis (modern-day Constanța, Romania) in 8 CE, likely due to political reasons or moral outrage over his works, marked a significant turning point in his life and career. Ovid's influence on literature, art, and culture has endured for centuries, making him one of the most celebrated figures of classical literature.
