[EAN: 9780299224004], [SC: 3.5], [PU: University of Wisconsin Press], Art and Punishment in the 'Metamorphoses'. Patricia Johnson demonstrates that Ovid was writing in an artistic atmosphere succumbing to a stranglehold of implicit censorship that culminated in his exile from Rome in 8 A.D. Johnson shows that, in the poem, danger permeates acts of artistic creation. In Ovid's portrayals of mythic figures artists who please their audience triumph; the defiant and subversive are destroyed. She reveals that in the poem, as in late Augustan Rome, the overriding criterion for artistic success was not aesthetic beauty but satisfying the expectations and desires of powerful audiences.
