Ovid, wrote the retelling of Greek and Roman myths. Virgil wrote the Aeneid, which is an Epic Poem. Plenty more but those are the most famous known to me.
Dante seemed to already be conscious that he would be a great person in the field of poetry, in the same rank as both Homer and Ovid.
Ovid and Virgil were poets.

In Edith Hamilton's Mythology, she says this of Ovid: "...is a compendium of mythology. No ancient writer can compare to him in the respect. He told almost all the stories and he told them at great length...He was said to have a sheer nonsense about him." Virgil did not believe in myths, he instead found human nature in them and brought mythological personages to life as no one else had done since the Greek tragedians.
The three canonic poets of Latin literature were Virgil, Horace and Ovid. Virgil's masterpiece was the Aeneid. Horace wrote the Satires, the Epistles and the Carmen Saeculare. Ovid's most ambitious work was the Metamorphoses.
