Pubilus Ovidus Naso, the Great
It is a great classic placed along with the work of Homer , Horace, Lucan. The great poet Dante took references from it. Boccaccio took many leaves from this book. Chaucer's writings were influenced by Ovid's narrative verse. Milton is said to have loved Metamorphoses. Keats, Shelley, Byron and Browning were said to have been influenced by Ovid. Ovid was expelled from Rome by King Augustus and was ordered to live a life of exile on the black sea coast. In a final burst of melodrama he flung this book in the fire declaring it unfit for publication. At A.D 17 Ovid died ignominiously while in exile. See the pathetic condition of great poet who was more misunderstood than understood in his times and like many great men died under cloud and his works are rising like a phoenix after many centuries. Mysterious are the ways of God to men. (courtesy Mary Innes, the best translator)
