A major work of Latin literature, Tristia 2 is a verse letter
addressed by the exiled poet Ovid to the man who banished him from
Rome, the emperor Augustus. Ovid apologizes to Augustus for the
misdemeanours that led to his banishment, but, more importantly,
defends both his life and his poetry in light of the accusation
that his earlier Ars amatoria (The Art of Love) had promoted
adultery. Jennifer Ingleheart's commentary, the most up-to-date and
comprehensive one available, is an invaluable guide to all aspects
of the poem - textual, literary, historical, and political - while
her Introduction explores, among other topics, its ironical and
subversive aspects.
