What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani refers to Ovid mainly through the Metamorphoses. He presents the book as a compilation of Greek mythology1 and as a convenient source for anyone who wants to know that mythology, since it is available in paperback2. From this book he takes an idea that he quotes several times: man is the only animal that can look up toward the sky. He brings it up in 2017, in a session that runs from Ulysses to Daedalus3, and again in 2021, in a session devoted to Nerval and Baudelaire4. Ovid's exile among the Dacians also serves him as a point of comparison with Rousseau's exile, which Rousseau spends on an island. This comparison comes up in 20145 and in 2023, in connection with childhood6. Finally, he links Ovid's name to Freud's example of a friend who quotes a Latin verse and forgets the word "aliquis"7.

Portrait: OvideWho is this?

Publius Ovidius Naso (Latin:; 20 March 43 BC – AD 17/18), known in English as Ovid ( OV-id), was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him to be the last of the Latin love elegists. Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organized province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or 10 years of his life.
