L'Art d'aimer
Ovid was one of the most prolific poets of his time, and before being banished had already composed his most famous poems – "Heroides", "Amores", "Ars Amatoria", "Remedia Amoris", "Medicamina Faciei Femineae", his lost tragedy "Medea", the ambitious "Metamorphoses" and the "Fasti". The latter two works were left, respectively, without a final revision and only half finished. In exile, the poet continued producing works that survive today: "Ibis", "Tristia", "Epistulae ex Ponto", and possibly several other, minor poems. These works consist of letters to friends and enemies, and also depict the poet's treatment by the Scythians – particularly the Getae, a nomadic people related to the Dacians or Thracians.
