Ovid:
- end of an era
- influenced more people, especially artists, than any other author
- most pictorial of all authors
- interested in eathing disorders (kind of like Oprah)
- look at deborah's blog for ovid's exhile
- most famous author in augustan rome, had many erotic works
And then one day...
- in year 8 emperor augustis banished ovid for political reasons, claiming his crimes were worse than muder
- david malouf wondered what it was like to be cast to the end of the earth
- ovid was cast to Tomis by the black sea
