Abstract
Reading Ovid’s exile poetry is like viewing a double-exposed photograph. In the case of Ovid’s exile poetry, the first exposure might be said to show the poet acting contrite over carmen et error, insistent that his exilic poetry introduces the audience to his true character instead of showing (as his earlier poetry allegedly did) a poetic persona a little too carried away by youthful antics. Yet at the same time – in the second exposure, to continue the photographic analogy – Ovid subtly inscribes into his exilic poems the success of his earlier works and demands for himself a continued readership as a writer of erotic poetry. This paper will discuss the tensions between such exposures in Ov. Trist. 1.3, the poem describing Ovid’s last night in Rome.
