P. Ovidii Nasonis Fastorum Liber VI Edited with English Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from P. Ovidii Nasonis Fastorum Liber Vi: Edited With English Notes <p>However in A. D. 14 Augustus died. Ovid had no hope from Tiberius, his successor, of being suffered to return from banishment. <p>But in 16 the jealousy of Tiberius recalled the victorious Germanicus (his adopted son) from Germany, and sent him to the East. Germanicus was known to be a cultivated man and it was then probably that Ovid recast his first book into its present shape, and prefaced it with a laudatory address to Germanicus. The passage in IV. 80, alluded to above, was then probably written. But most of the allusions to Augustus are left unaltered. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
