Question
Theorists of this poem’s “anti-Augustanism” analyze its unflattering mention of the father-and-son pairs of Atreus and Agamemnon and Saturn and Jove. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this poem that ends “vivam,” or “I will live,” after a paean to Augustus and a description of the soul of a murdered politician becoming a comet.
ANSWER: Metamorphoses (The murdered man is Julius Caesar.)
[10h] Ovid’s Metamorphoses claims that this “free” concept prefers Augustus to Julius Caesar. In Book 13, the personification of this concept lives in a mountain-top brass house with a thousand doorless entrances.
ANSWER: fame [or fama; or rumor; accept glory, renown, gossip, or reputation; accept libera fama]
[10e] Ovid’s curse poem Ibis, which may target Augustus, was written after he was subjected to this punishment. Ovid claimed that this punishment resulted from a “poem and a mistake.”
ANSWER: exile [or exilium; or banishment or word forms of banished; accept descriptions of exile to Tomis or the Black Sea]
