Tristes; Pónticas es una obra que reúne dos colecciones de poemas del autor romano Ovidio. 'Tristes' (Tristia) es una colección de poemas que Ovidio escribió durante su exilio en Tomis, a orillas del Mar Negro. En estos poemas, el autor expresa su tristeza, soledad y nostalgia por Roma, así como su defensa ante las acusaciones que llevaron a su destierro. 'Pónticas' (Epistulae ex Ponto) es otra colección de cartas en verso escritas también desde el exilio. Dirigidas a amigos y figuras influyentes en Roma, Ovidio busca obtener clemencia y el fin de su exilio. Ambas obras ofrecen una visión personal y emotiva de la vida de Ovidio durante su exilio, así como una reflexión sobre el poder, la política y la condición humana.

Publius Ovidius Naso, known in English as Ovid, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organised province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or ten years of his life. Ovid himself attributed his banishment to a carmen et error, but his reluctance to disclose specifics has resulted in much speculation among scholars.
