Товч агуулга:The primary sources for the life of Ovid are his poems (especially Ov. Tr. 4,10). From an old equestrian family, O. was born in Sulmo on 20 March, 43 BC; he was educated in Rome under Arellius Fuscus and Porcius Latro (Sen. Contr. 2,2,8; 9,5,17). After travels in Greece (Ov. Tr. 1,2,77-78; Ov. Pont. 2,10,21-28), he held minor magistracies, before abandoning an official career in favour of poetry. He was acquainted with Horace (Horatius [7]) and was a friend of Propertius
