La mappe imaginaire des traces du poete Ovide à Pontus Euxinus, telles qu’elles apparaissent chez les auteurs de la littérature roumaine

Abstract

Exiled to the Daco-Thracian lands at the Pontus Euxinus, Publius Ovidius Naso was the first poet of this space, having spent the last eight years of his life there. In speaking of this famous Roman poet, we touch reality as well as fiction; this tenerorum lusor amorum ("witty singer of easy love"), as he titled himself, also writes about unfulfilled, betrayed or unshared love. The poet locates himself on the border between love and despair, but also between revolt and resignation, as evidenced by his works such as Tristia, Epistulae ex Ponto, Amores, Ars Amandi, and Remedia Amoris. It should also be noted that his works constitute true sources for the history of the region of his exile. In our approach, we propose to reconsider Ovidian thought and we will also follow the architecture of the surroundings and of the inhabitants of Tomis during the time of Ovid, located between the Danube and the Pontus Euxinus. The novels inspired by the life and works of Ovid reveal the configuration of society and the way in which the construction of Tomis of old was fashioned.
