Book Description
Excerpt from Metamorphoseon Liber XI: Edited, With Introduction and Notes Publius ovidius naso was born at Sulmo (sulmona), a small hill-town of the Peligni, about ninety miles to the east of Rome, on the 20th of March, 43 b.c. His communicative self-consciousness, fostered by long years of dreary exile, which threw him back upon his memories of the past, has furnished us with copious details of his life and literary activity.' The poet was descended from an ancient and wealthy family of equestrian rank, and thus belonged to the nobility of the Italian country towns. His father, ambitious for the advancement of his two sons, destined them for a public career by which they might rise to senatorial rank. Accordingly Ovid and his brother Lucius, his elder by exactly a year, were sent to the capital, in order that they might study and practise rhetoric, an indispensable equipment for Roman public life, under Arellius Fuscus and Porcius Latro, the best teachers of the day. Publius had no turn for advocacy and until his brother died at the early age of twenty, his unprofitable versifying met with only remon strance and admonition from his practical father. But when he became sole heir, and was no longer under the necessity of pursuing a lucrative but irksome profession, he was allowed at last to give free scope to his inclination for poetry. First, however, our poet completed his education, after the manner of the young Roman nobility, by a short sojourn at Athens, the university of the ancient world and the home of art, belles-lettres, and philosophy. This was followed by a Grand Tour, in the company of his friend and fellow-poet Macer, through the Greek cities of Asia Minor and Sicily.
