"Ovid and Augustus" deals with one of the most contentious issues
in the study of Roman literature, the relationship between Augustan
literary texts and Augustan politics. One of the central facts of
Ovid's life is that he was exiled to the shores of the Black Sea.
The poet himself tells us that he was being punished because of a
poem and a mistake. Although the mistake is unknowable, we do have
the poem, "Art of Love". Here, Peter Davis reads all of Ovid's
early works (the erotic poetry: "Heroides", "Amores", "Art of
Love", "Cures for Love") against their political context, and
argues that they challenge the Augustan regime's political ideology
and resist the Augustan conception of what it was to be Roman.
