Description
Ovid's Works in Six Volumes is a collection of poetry that showcases the author's mastery of Latin verse. Born at Sulmo, Ovid studied rhetoric and law before turning to poetry and public service.
Despite his early success, Ovid was exiled by Emperor Augustus due to his work on the Ars amatoria, and he spent the remainder of his life in exile, continuing to write poetry that would inspire artists and poets for centuries to come. This edition is presented in six volumes, offering a comprehensive look at Ovid's surviving works.
The collection includes some of Ovid's most famous poems, such as the Metamorphoses, the Fasti, and the Amores, as well as his lesser-known but still thought-provoking works written in exile. This edition provides a valuable insight into the life and work of one of ancient Rome's greatest poets.
