Ovid; Romantic poet from Rome *** 97

Ovid was a poet during the 'classical age' of Rome when Augustes ruled. He wrote a number of books with verses. His'Art of love` is a stand out verse. Ovid describes love and allows the reader to infer about rape with his verses on the `Gaze.` Ovid was of the view that a rape can only commence after a man gazes at a woman. A gaze by a man in which he takes stock of the woman for carnal knowledge is the beginning of rape. Ovid himself does not describe the rape in his verses, but as a master poet leaves it to the imagination of the reader. This is classical poetry and proves that Ovid was a master of the verse. His other works are  Heroides, Amores and Ars Amatoria, and o Metamorphoses, 

Ovid was a poet during the reign of Augustus in Rome and wrote the "the art of love".Ovid wrote other works as well, but his forte was poetry and verse. There is no doubt he had the pulse of poetry creation in his grip. Ovid was perhaps a great lover himself. Ther is no doubt that to write love poetry an element of personal experience is always a great help. Ovid died at the age of perhaps 56 or 58. Despite a relatively short span Ovid is recognized as one of the great romantic poets from the classical age from Rom
