Why was Ovid sent into exile in far corners of earth?
It is not known. There are several theories. According to one theory Augustus personally banished Ovid because in his Ars Amatoria he wrote about adultery and this clashed with Augustus's marriage laws which promoted monogamy and made adultery a crime. However, there are also doubts about this. Three other authors of the time wrote poems which could be considered indecent. They were not persecuted and their books were not censored. If this was the official reason for the banishment this could have been an excuse to hide a more political reason. Ovid was not clear about the reasons for his banishment. He gave oblique and contradictory references to the crime which led to his exile. He wrote that his crime was a poem and a crime, but also wrote that his crime was more harmful than poetry and worse than murder. Some scholars argue that Ovid made his exile up, but this is a minority theory.
