Abstract

The supplements to Mnemosyne listed here are numbered 290 to 309. This book Ovid in Exile traces Ovid's engagement with contemporary historical events and the tradition of Greek and Roman poetry along several lines crucial for understanding Ovids poetry generally and the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto in particular. It offers an analysis of the religious aspects of these poems because they document for the first time in Latin literature worship within an inchoate form of the cult of the Caesars.Keywords: cult of the Caesars; Greek and Roman poetry; Latin literature; Mnemosyne; Ovid; Roman culture
