Ovid - 43 BCE - 18 CE - Ovid is said to be the last of
the great poets of the Roman golden age. Ovid's work takes a
carefree approach to traditional Roman values, and often lampooned
them. His famous works include Amores, a series of love
poems, Metamorphoses, and The Art of Love, a work
which diagrams methods for the seduction of women. While Augustus
attempted to eschew the loose sexual morals of the then Roman
upper-class, Ovid is said to, perhaps mockingly, affirm them.
