2.103–8, like the poet, saw something by accident and was (unjustly?) punished the diction used is reminiscent of the modes of expression employed by Ovid to speak of the charges laid against him in his exilic œuvre. We may consider the possible addition of 3.141–2 ( at bene si quaeras, Fortunae crimen in illo, | non scelus inuenies quod enim scelus error habebat?) to the Actaeon-episode: the huntsman, to whom Ovid explicitly compares himself at Tr.
It has been suggested that a number of other episodes in the Metamorphoses were revised, if not written, after the poet's relegation.
