"The gods endorse the bold."
"Desine sollicitis animum tabescere curis."
"Fallere credentem non est operosa puellam."
"The gods absolve the bold."
"As wave is driven by wave. And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead, So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows, Always, for ever and new. What was before. Is left behind; what never was is now…"
About Ovid (43 BCE - 17/18 CE)
Roman poet whose Metamorphoses (8 CE) is the longest surviving Latin poem and Western literature's main pagan-mythology source. Closely associated with Virgil (the Aeneid poet and other Augustan poetic giant) and Horace (third Augustan-era major poet). For an intellectual contrast, see Augustus, Roman emperor (27 BCE – 14 CE) — Augustus exiled Ovid to Tomis on the Black Sea in 8 CE, reasons tied to his erotic poetry (Ars Amatoria) and possible knowledge of imperial-family scandal — Augustus represented Roman moral-restoration politics that Ovid's witty erotic verse was structurally against.
