Question
A poetry collection written during this event tells a “little book” to “go, but without ornament” and “enter quietly so my verse won’t hurt you.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this event that a poet attributed to “the anger of an injured god.” This event resulted in that poet’s Letters from the Black Sea, written in Tomis, and the collection Tristia.
ANSWER: Ovid’s exile [accept synonyms such as banishment in place of exile; accept Publius Ovidius Naso in place of Ovid; prompt on exile or synonyms by asking “who was exiled?”]
[10e] The Tristia comments that Ovid’s exile resulted in this poem being “cut short by its author’s sad flight.” This long narrative poem recounts stories of mythological transformations.
ANSWER: the Metamorphoses
[10h] Latin or English translation acceptable. Ovid’s Tristia uses this three-word Latin phrase to describe why he was exiled. This phrase first refers to the Ars Amatoria, but its last word still fuels speculation, with theories including a scandal involving Augustus’s daughters.
ANSWER: carmen et error [or “a poem and an error”; accept “song” or “book” or “verse” in place of “poem”; accept “mistake” or “indiscretion” in place of “error”]
