Which early poems made Ovid famous in Rome?

Ovid achieved early fame in Rome through a series of works centered on the themes of love and amorous intrigue, which reflected the sophisticated, pleasure-seeking society of his time.1

His first published work, the Amores (The Loves), brought him immediate success. This was followed in rapid succession by several other influential works, including:1

• Heroides (Epistles of the Heroines): A collection of dramatic monologues written as letters from legendary women to their absent lovers.23
• Medicamina faciei: A witty, didactic poem regarding cosmetics.31
• Ars amatoria (The Art of Love): A notorious manual of seduction that became one of his most famous and controversial works.31
• Remedia amoris (Remedies for Love): A mock recantation that served as a burlesque of the love-elegy genre.31

These early poems established his reputation as a leading poet before he transitioned to more ambitious projects like the Metamorphoses.1
