Dedication

First words

A WORD FROM THE TRANSLATOR
The complete conveyance of intellectual content, form, and emotional content from one language to another, above all in the case of poetry, is impossible.

OVID'S LIFE
Publius Ovidius Naso was born at Sulmo, a city about ninety miles east of Rome, in the country of the Paeligni, on March 20, 43 B.C., the year of the second triumvirate, composed of Augustus, Antony, and Lepidus, and the year of the proscription and death of the Ciceros.

Hanc tua Penelope lento tibi mittit, Ulixe --
nil mihi rescribas tu tamen; ipse veni!
