Ovid is the only one who testifies to having suppressed poems and to having reissued books in new formats. The poems of the Amores were all he cared to acknowledge from his twenties, but perhaps not all that he produced. The contraction of data has at least the advantage of shifting attention from his life to his poems and to the spirit in which they address the Augustan milieu. When Ovid published the letters comprised in the Tristia , he suppressed the names of the recipients because he feared that they might feel compromised to be associated with him. Of the major Ovidian works, the Fasti most openly invites a reading in terms of Augustan ideology, whether with or against the grain. The Fasti also provides a valuable reference point for thinking about the problem of second editions in Ovid. Keywords: Amores ; Augustan milieu; Fasti ; Ovid; Tristia
