This chapter argues that the representation of Sappho the poet appears as a coherent portrait in the poetry of Ovid, and that this portrait closely resembles that of Ovid himself. This is so even when Heroides 15, also known as Epistula Sapphus, where Sappho as poet is centre stage, is set aside. The argument emerges from close readings of passages from the earliest of Ovid’s poetic career, such as the Amores, Ars amatoria (Book 3), and Remedia amoris, and also deals with some of his latest poetry in the Tristia, written in exile, all in the context of passages in Sappho and other Latin poetry and prose.
