O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
Publius Ovidius Naso; (43 BCE-18 CE) A Roman poet who, departing from the serious nature of classical poetry, was witty and superficial.
Ovid is mentioned here only because of his treatment of the Greek myth of Iason (Jason) and Medea; his play, Medea, does not survive but the fact that the subject would have interest to the Romans shows the enduring power and universal appeal of the characters and backdrop of the story of Iason, the Argonauts and the quest for the Golden Fleece.
