书籍简介

奥维德(普布利乌斯·奥维迪乌斯·纳索，公元前43年-公元17年)，出生在萨尔莫，在罗马学习修辞学和法律。后来，他在那里做了大量的公共服务，除此之外，他还致力于诗歌和社会事业。起初他很出名，但他的“爱的艺术”冒犯了奥古斯都皇帝。因为这项工作和其他一些我们不知道的原因，他被放逐了，住在黑海边寒冷、原始的托米斯镇。他继续写诗，过着温和的生活——最后在流放中死去。

奥维德现存的主要作品是《变形记》(分上下两卷)，这是包括乔叟和莎士比亚在内的艺术家和诗人的灵感来源;《英雄》，虚构的女主人公写给失踪的丈夫和爱人的情书;《爱之歌》，表面上写的是诗人与情妇科琳娜的爱情挽歌;《Ars Amatoria》这部作品不是道德的，而是聪明的——在某些方面，也是美丽的;《禁食》是奥维德只完成了一半的罗马年的诗化处理;流亡期间写的阴郁的作品:《特里斯提亚》，呼吁包括他的妻子和皇帝在内的人。诗歌对奥维德来说是与生俱来的，他最擅长的是生动、形象和清晰。

在他颇具影响力的作品《变形记》中，奥维德用大量的神话编织了一个六边形的整体，这些神话以“变化”的主题联系在一起，并巧妙地联系在一起，叙述了奥维德所处的时代从最早的创作到转变的过程。

奥维德的洛布古典图书馆版有六卷。

Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BCE–17 CE), born at Sulmo, studied rhetoric and law at Rome. Later he did considerable public service there, and otherwise devoted himself to poetry and to society. Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus with his Ars Amatoria (Art of Love). He was banished because of this work and some other reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of Tomis on the Black Sea. He continued writing poetry—a kindly man, leading a temperate life—and died in exile.

Ovid’s main surviving works are the Metamorphoses (here in two volumes), a source of inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare; the Heroides, fictitious love letters by legendary women to absent husbands and lovers; the Amores, elegies ostensibly about the poet’s love affair with his mistress Corinna; the Ars Amatoria, not moral, but clever—and in parts, beautiful; the Fasti, a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid finished only half; and the dismal works written in exile: the Tristia, appeals to persons including his wife and also the emperor; and the similar Epistulae ex Ponto. Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic and lucid.

In the Metamorphoses, his most influential work, Ovid weaves a hexametric whole from a huge range of myths, which are connected by the theme of change and ingeniously linked as the narrative proceeds from earliest creation to transformation in Ovid’s own time.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ovid is in six volumes.
