Artists, not autists.

There is a Roman novel about a man who's turned into a donkey. Shit's dope.

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest;

qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
Vos, quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,
Cocksucking Aurelius and bottom-man Furius,
You who think, from my verses
Because they are delicate, that I have no shame.
For it is right for the devoted poet
To be chaste himself, but it's not
Necessary for his verses to be so.
[Verses] which then indeed have taste and charm,
If they are delicate and a little shameless,
And because they can incite an itch,
And I don't mean in boys, but in
Those hairy old men who can't get it up.
You, because you have collected many thousands of my kisses,
You think me less of a man?
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you.

I suppose Ovid was edgy enough to be exiled by Augustus.
Augustus was trying to project himself as the model Roman (gravitas, dignitas, virtus, and fides) and apparently didn't appreciate Ovid's endorsement of adultery in Ars Amatoria.

cum suis vivat valeatque moechis,
quos simul complexa tenet trecentos,
nullum amans vere, sed identidem omnium
ilia rumpens

Catullus was the Fall Out Boy of edginess

They were the good king of edgy, the way were it actually meant doing something on the fringe not like today where kids just do it to be a special snowflake
