Ovid

Publius Ovidius Naso (20 March 43 BCE – AD 17/18 CE), commonly known as Ovid, was a Roman poet who worked for Emperor Augustus before being disgraced and exiled. Among his works were the Metamorphoses, a long narrative poem listing 250 different myths.

During the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze bought a copy of this book from one of the several book shops in Constantinople.
