ovid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bard' is the definition.
(I know this)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Roman poet N void (anag)" , "Roman poet, d. about AD17" , "Void for a Latin poet" , "Writer" , "Void for old Roman poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
