Errat, et illinc 165 huc venit, hinc illuc, et quoslibet occupat artus spiritus, eque feris humana in corpora transit, inque feras noster, nec tempore deperit ullo. utque novis facilis signatur cera figuris, nec manet ut fuerat, nec formas servat easdem, 170 sed tamen ipsa eadem est, animam sic semper eandem esse, sed in varias doceo migrare figuras. ergo--nec pietas sit victa cupidine ventris--XV. 207.

Sobre l'autor (2013)

Publius Ovidius Naso (20 March 43 BC--AD 17/18), known as Ovid. Born of an equestrian family in Sulmo, Ovid was educated in rhetoric in Rome but gave it up for poetry. He counted Horace and Propertius among his friends and wrote an elegy on the death of Tibullus. He became the leading poet of Rome but was banished in 8 A.D. by an edict of Augustus to remote Tomis on the Black Sea because of a poem and an indiscretion. Miserable in provincial exile, he died there ten years later. His brilliant, witty, fertile elegiac poems include Amores (Loves), Heroides (Heroines), and Ars Amatoris (The Art of Love), but he is perhaps best known for the Metamorphoses, a marvelously imaginative compendium of Greek mythology where every story alludes to a change in shape. Ovid was admired and imitated throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Jonson knew his works well. His mastery of form, gift for narration, and amusing urbanity are irresistible.
