J. B. Hall separates Tristia 1.5, 1.9, 3.4, 4.4, 5.2, and 5.7 into two poems in his 1995 Teubner edition. One reviewer criticizes the editor for not justifying the separation, but this study offers definitive evidence to support it. Structure and theme serve as analytical tools that define the beginning and end of the twelve literary pieces and highlight their artistry. The resolution of the issue of unity enhances our interpretation of the independent poems and their complex interplay within each poetry book. Ovid's repeated depreciation of his literary work is a pose to attract sympathy and support from his Roman audience.

In his 1995 Teubner edition, J. B. Hall divides Tristia 1.5, 1.9, 3.4, 4.4, 5.2, and 5.7 into two poems. One reviewer of Hall's edition criticizes the editor for not justifying the separation of these poems despite the fact that the divisions have manuscript support. Due to the sorry state of the textual transmission of Ovid's Tristia, it is sometimes difficult to determine the beginning and end of an individual poem if that poem resumes thematically and verbally where the previous poem concludes. The aim of this study is to show that definitive evidence can be offered to justify the division of these six elegies into two poems. Structure combined with theme serves as an analytical tool that defines the beginning and end of the twelve literary pieces under consideration and highlights their artistry. Resolution of the issue of unity enhances our interpretation of the independent poems and our understanding of the complex interplay among poems within each poetry-book. The careful and often brilliant craftsmanship of the poems and of the books in which they appear reaffirms that Ovid's repeated depreciation of the quality of his literary work composed during his period of exile in the Black Sea region is simply a pose to attract sympathy and support from his Roman audience.
