RIP Ovid my dude

[@TS-jd9qs]

All my homies love Ovid

[@fleetwoodmac1982]

a bit sad to hear the biographic story of a prominent poet's unfortunate downfall but I like this kind of educational video.

[@Human_Evolution-]

Ovid seems to be the greatest ancient poet. At least to me, so far. More poetic than Homer and Hesiod in my opinion. Greater than the Egyptians and the Sumerians, haven't read the Persions or Chinese yet. Anybody know of something 8 should read?

[@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698]

The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Norse Eddas

[@bjmcmahon722]

The Boch Saga

Well according to the Roman counsel, although 2500 years late. He is now welcome home.

i can see the metamorphosis expresses it self in the natural landscape.

[@quoteish2515]

Metamorphosis is the most valuable piece of ancient knowledge.

[@tpgeraghty]

You mention OVID's works were "published" - how did that happen before printing? Can't find much of anything about publishing in Roman times.

Modern day Tomis has lovely weather, much like Italy.

I heard that he was caught with Julia Augusti, but DON'T tell anyone you heard it from me!

[@nancyhey1012]
