The Mystery of Ovid's Exile

Více o knize

The narrative explores the intriguing circumstances surrounding the poet Ovid's exile to Tomis at the behest of Emperor Augustus, ostensibly due to his earlier work, Ars amatoria. However, the text posits that Ovid's punishment may stem from his knowledge of a serious crime involving the emperor or his family. John C. Thibault critically examines over a hundred theories proposed throughout history, ultimately concluding that a definitive explanation remains elusive. This scholarly work appeals to both classical scholars and those interested in Roman culture.
