Particular emphasis has fallen on the multiple stylistic features Ovid uses to appeal to a learned audience. This thesis focuses on and explores the use o f personification ekphraseis which are illustrative examples o f the poet's innovative technique, wit and style. Four major personified figures, Inuidia, Fames, Somnus and Fama play significant roles and figure prominently in the books where they appear. The study is divided into four main chapters where the four extended personification ekphraseis are individually treated.

Ovid displays a certain structural progression in the use o f personification beginning with theriomorphic representations (Inuidia,

Ovid"s interest in personified abstractions fits within this creativity. Personification, thus, a technique widely used by many writers, is for him a suitable method of literary expression and practice.
