Ovid

"The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea. "

Publius Ovidius Naso (20 March 43 BC – AD 17/18), known as Ovid in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet who is best known as the author of the three major collections of poetry, the Heroides, Amores and Ars Amatoria, and of the Metamorphoses, a mythological hexameter poem. He is also well known for the Fasti, about the Roman calendar, and the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, two collections of poems written in exile on the Black Sea.  He also wrote a lost tragedy, Medea. He is traditionally ranked alongside Virgil and Horace as one of the three canonic poets of Latin literature.
