Ovid's second collection of letters from his place of exile exhibits new strategies to achieve his aims of staying in the public eye and making his case for recall back to Rome. One of these new strategies is to pose as a kind of ethnographer with a ground‐level view of Tomitan and Thracian society on the Black Sea coast. In the Epistulae ex Ponto, Ovid poses as a mediator between Rome and the imperial fringe, informing his reader about the activities of the Pontic tribes, describing his alleged interactions with the people of Tomis, and addressing the client king of the region. By doing so, Ovid explores new metaphors of exile, and grants to elegy and the letter a novel utility that slightly empowers his exiled voice.

埃斯皮图埃·埃·蓬托（Epistulae）

奥维德（Ovid）从他的流放地收集的第二批信件展示了新的策略，可以实现他的目标，即保持在公众视野中，并使他的案子回到罗马。这些新策略之一是冒充民族志学家，对黑海沿岸的Tomitan和Thracian社会具有基本的看法。奥维德（Ovid）在蓬特埃斯皮斯图拉（Epistulae ex Ponto）扮演罗马与帝国边缘之间的调解人，向读者介绍蓬蒂克部落的活动，描述他与托米斯人的互动，并向该地区的来访者致辞。通过这样做，奥维德（Ovid）探索了流放的新隐喻，并为挽歌和这封信赋予了一种新颖的实用工具，可以稍微增强他的流放声音。
