Ovid
Ovid | David Wishart
4 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Ovid was banished by the Emperor Augustus and died in exile ten years late. No one known why he was banished. Years after Ovid's death Marcus Corvinus, grandson of the poet's patron, tries to arrange the return of his ashes to Rome for burial. But official permission is refused; and Corvinus makes the dangerous mistake of asking why the Emperor will not make space in Italy for Ovid's bones.

No time for cleaning the house, I‘m afraid. Today Corvinus and I are unravelling a conspiracy in ancient Rome.

Just had a marvellous conversation with a complete stranger about Ovid and Ted Hughes‘s translation of ‘The Metamorphoses‘. Just another glorious morning on The Hill. #davidwishart #ovid #eggsroyale #muswellhill #muswellhillbilly #cotebrasserie #book #books #currentlyreading #bookstagram #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #caffeine #caffeineaddict #tedhughes #i❤️muswellhill

Enjoying a gentle start to Saturday. This book has proved very entertaining so far - reminiscent of Lindsey Davis‘s novels featuring Falco. #cotebrasserie #muswellhill #muswellhillbilly #n10 #books #book #currentlyreading #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #caffeine #frenchbreakfast #davidwishart #ovid #fiction #caffeineaddict
