Ovid's Self‐Reception in His Exile Poetry

Abstract

The study of Ovid's reception begins with Ovid and is shaped by his statements about his poetry and career in his exile poems. In the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto Ovid reflects on his earlier works and attempts to control their reception and to construct an image of “Ovidianism,” which is meant to convince the emperor to recall the poet. Through allusion Ovid in his exile poetry redeploys and rewrites his earlier poetry to shape an image of his poetic career that will guarantee lasting fame.
