“The deification of Caesar” the most pro-Augustan section of the entire epic. Ovid discusses at length how great Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus are and even calls Julius Caesar a "god is his own city" (Metamorphoses, page 183). However, Ovid's praise for Julius Caesar is nothing compared to the praise he has for Augustus. Ovid states “for in all that Caesar has done, nothing is greater than this, that he has become the father of our emperor” (Metamorphoses, page 183). Ovid concludes his praise by saying “and after our times, when Augustus, abandoning the world he rules, enters the high heavens and hears our prayers from above” (Metamorphoses, page 187). This ending is a clear indicator that Ovid is a supporter of Augustus. Some might argue that Ovid only added this part to please Octavian Augustus, who permanently censored his critics throughout the empire. However, with the addition of other pro-Augustan aspects throughout this epic, it is clear to argue that Ovid wrote the Metamorphoses to give validity to the morals of Augustus.
