Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) (43 BCE–17/18 CE)

InferredOvid is named explicitly within the Pentameron extracts on p. 58: 'Ovid. – His natural air of levity...'. Within the Pentameron extracts, pp. 58–59 discuss Ovid's 'natural air of levity,' his 'unequalled and unfailing ease,' and credit him as having 'the first imagination' among ancient Romans and the best judgment of contemporary and predecessor poetry. This is Landor's commentary on Ovid within the Pentameron.
