The Exiled Ovid's Reception of Gallus
The poet Cornelius Gallus may be termed the “first exiled poet” of the Augustan regime, although his banishment from Augustus' circle of friends (between 29 and 26 BCE) was probably political. He subsequently committed suicide and possibly underwent damnatio memoriae. In exile, Ovid appears to be consciously featuring allusions to Gallus. This paper examines some examples of such allusion that throw light on Ovid's relationship with Augustus. Mos…
Seizing the Zeitgeist
Appropriation by Ovid of aspects of the Augustan propagandistic discourse may be traced in his exilic poetry. The exiled Ovid appears to be consciously featuring the imperial civic and political discourse in some of his many examples of allusion to the emperor. The paper examines some examples of such appropriation that add nuance to the apparently subservient attitude of Ovid to the emperor Augustus. Most of what Augustus wrote himself is lost, …
Structure, Chronology, Tone and Undertone
As with other aspects of Ovid ian self-deprecation and recusatio in the Tristia and Epistolae ex Ponto, the poet's ostensibly candid admissions that his poetry is "not only sad but monotonous"! have been granted more credence than they deserve. The word "monotony" refers to "singleness of tone", not of content. By "tone" is meant the effect upon the sensibilities of the reader of the prevailing attitude of mind of the speaker. Discrepancy of tone…
Documents of a Crumbling Marriage
CICERO'S PRIVATE LIFE as evidenced in his correspondence cannot be separated from his political life: at times each part seems to work as a sort of counter-irritant to troubles in the other half. While his marriage was still intact, sometimes seemed to be all that saved the beleaguered consular's sanity. His divorce of Terentia, his wife of over thirty years, and subsequent marriage to his young ward Publilia in late 47 or early 46 B.C. (at a tim…
