In his book-length poem \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e, characters are transformed in ways that include losing their power of human speech. In \u003ci\u003eTristia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEpistulae ex Ponto\u003c\/i\u003e, poems written after Ovid's exile from Rome in 8CE, he represents himself as also having been transformed, losing his voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBartolo A. Natoli provides a unique cross-reading of these works. He examines how the motifs and ideas articulated in the \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e provide the template for the poet's representation of his own exile. Ovid depicts his transformation with an eye toward memory, reformulating how his exile would be perceived by his audience. His exilic poems are an attempt to recover the voice he lost and to reconnect with the community of Rome.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Speech and Speech Loss in Ancient Rome: A Working Schema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Speech Loss in the Metamorphoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Speech Loss in the Exile Literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Speech Loss and Memory in the Exile Literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix A: Instances of Speech Loss in the Metamorphoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix B: Uses of mutus in Latin Literature \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex Locorum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52743046070552,"sku":"9780299312145","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/silenced-voices-the-poetics-of-speech-in-ovid-paperback-softback-9780299312145","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
