We love weird facts and this one should please some, Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 B.C. - A.D c. 17) who was a Roman poet wrote his Ars Amatoria of The Art of Love around the time of Christ, where the book was described as an immoral book.

The book representing the art of love as “the adulterer’s art rather than the husband’s art” by H. Montgomery Hyde the Irish writer in a history of Pornography.

But the fact is the book won praise of Renaissance humanists and begins with the words “Should anyone here not know the art of love read this, and learn by reading how to love. By art the boat’s set gliding, with oar and sail, by art the chariot’s swift: love’s ruled by art.”
