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 8 ce, he represents himself as also having been transformed, losing his voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bartolo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bartolo a.
