Résumé
This article refers to the notion of ‘‘ author ’’ in Greco-Latin times, showing how, in Ovid’s work, conditions of exile and of imperial censorship produced a specific form of discourse in literature, one where the poet becomes the primary guarantor of his work. Whilst in the Tristia, Ovid places himself in the role of author guilty of the Art of love, in the Letters from the Black Sea, he depicts himself as a weary author, having come to the end of his poetic career. His numerous declarations of powerlessness regarding the art of writing, which formthe dominant theme of the last collection of letters, create an effect of a remarkable presence, the very origin of a new form of authorship.
