I don't get it. He was born in ancient times. Is this quote fake?

He was born in a terrible time and thought it was good. Pitiful. I'm supposed to.read what this naive dope has to say?

I guess he did live in a crumby time. But being able to find goodness in hard times is a virtue, not something bad.

You realize they oppressed women in his day, right? And that he probably never had a dorito in his life?

>> No.14328114

>>14328108
Well of course he didn't have any doritos. They didn't exist until 1968 and Ovid died around I'd guess 10-20.

>> No.14328115

>>14328114
Doritos retroactively refuted btfo

You're the dog one for throwing a tantrum that someone would dare humanize women. Go back to r*dditt , have sex and for the love of.God read a book for once in your life. Stay the FUCK out of my thread.

How is the reign of Augustus a terrible times. Rome was peaceful for a change, the empire was expanding.
Ovid is great. Definitely way more engaging than Virgil.

Old ecology books were so hopeful...

Death, therefore,
is nothing to us, does not concern us
in the least, since the nature of the mind
we consider mortal. Just as in the past
we felt no pain when Carthaginian troops,
massing for battle, advanced from every side,
when all things, disturbed by war’s fearful noise,
shook with dread under high heavenly skies,
in doubt on which of the two sides would fall
power to rule all men on sea and land,
so, when we cease to be, when soul and body,
whose union makes us one single being,
part company, it is clear nothing at all
can happen to us or rouse our feelings,
not even if earth is mixed in with sea
and sea with sky—for then we won’t exist.
