The Role of the Book in Tristia 3.1

The third book of the Tristia is the first to have been written in Tomis, Ovid's place of exile. The long journey from Rome, the subject of the first book of the Tristia, is over. The distractions of the journey can no longer sustain him, and his only pleasure is to weep, in other words to write the elegy of lament: dum tamen et uentis dubius iactabar et undis,fallebat curas aegraque corda labor:ut uia finita est, et opus requieuit eundi,et poenae tellus est mini tacta meae,nil nisi flere libet…(Tr. 3.2.15-19) But while in turmoil I was being tossed around by winds and waves, my worries and sad heart were distracted by the battle for survival. Now that the journey is over, the effort involved in travel is spent, and the land of my punishment has been reached, weeping is my only pleasure.
