About the Author
Ovid was born in Italy in 43 BC. His earliest surviving work is the collection of love poems called the Amores, which was followed by the Heroides. The Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and the Remedia Amoris (The Cure for Love) were probably written between 2 BC and 2 AD, and were followed by his two epic poems the Fasti and the Metamorphoses. In 8 AD Ovid fell out of favor with the Emperor Augustus and was banished to what is now Romania. While in exile he wrote Tristia, Ibis, and the Epistulae ex Ponto which consists of letters appealing for help in his efforts to be recalled to Rome. He died in exile in 18 AD. Tom Payne is the former deputy literary editor of the Daily Telegraph and the author of Fame: What the Classics Tell Us About Our Cult of Celebrity. Hephzibah Anderson is a journalist and the author of Chastened: The Unexpected Story of My Year without Sex.
