Summary:

For about five hundred years - between Ovid's death (17 AD) and Maximianus' Elegies (6th century AD) - the genre of love elegy disappears.Does this mean that love poetry in general was no longer being written?This was certainly not the case.Poets continued to compose love poetry, merely in other forms than elegy.
