저자에 대하여

Publius Ovidius Naso, commonly known as Ovid, was a Roman poet born on March 20, 43 BCE, in Sulmona, Italy. He is best known for his narrative poem 'Metamorphoses,' which is a mythological epic that has influenced countless writers and artists throughout history. Ovid's works primarily focus on themes of love, transformation, and beauty, showcasing his ability to blend the personal with the mythical. His poetry is characterized by its innovative style and clever wordplay, making him a beloved figure in classical literature.

Ovid's writing career flourished during the reign of Emperor Augustus, but his life took a drastic turn when he was exiled to Tomis on the Black Sea around 8 CE. This exile deeply affected him, and he continued to write poetry reflecting his feelings of loss and longing. Despite this misfortune, Ovid's legacy endures, and he is celebrated for his contributions to literature, particularly in the realm of love poetry. His influence can be seen in the works of later poets and writers across various cultures, solidifying his status as one of the great poets of the Roman era.
