Ovid's "Eulogy of theAstronomers" (Fasti, 1.295-310), suffused with the concepts of Stoicism:

"What prevents me speaking of the stars, and their risingAnd setting? That was a part of what I've promised. Happy minds that first took the trouble to consider These things, and to climb to the celestial regions! We can be certain that they raised their headsAbove the failings and the homes of men, alike. Neither wine nor lust destroyed their noble natures, Nor public business nor military service: They were not seduced by trivial ambitions, Illusions of bright glory, nor hunger for great wealth. They brought the distant stars within our vision, And subjected the heavens to their genius. So we reach the sky: there's no need for Ossa to be piledOn Olympus, or Pelion's summit touch the highest stars. Following these masters I too will measure out the skies,And attribute the wheeling signs to their proper dates."
