Summary

The Fasti is a captivating Latin poem composed by Ovid, believed to have been published in 8 AD. This remarkable work unfolds the Roman calendar, shedding light on the origins of various Roman holidays and their accompanying customs. Through the voices of deities and rich aetiologies, Ovid weaves a tapestry of tradition and myth. Unfortunately, the poem remains unfinished due to the poets exile to Tomis, leaving us with only the enchanting tales of the first six months of the year. (Summary by Leni)
