COSTA IOANA - Never-ending Journey (pag. 45-53)
Ovid’s journey to Tomi may be reconstructed in a realia paradigm; nevertheless, the geographical voyage was accomplished as a spiritual translation, which led to an internal change, accomplished by the birth of a tragic hero: the Exiled, the Secluded, the Non-Accepted one to the end of his life and afterwards, as his grave remained far away from the graves of his ancestors. Ovid’s journey was without end because it was without return. He is an Odysseus that travels estranging from home, whose remembrance remained as well in the land that was the host of his exile and, in time, entered the legend.
