Emperor marcus aurelius writes in his meditations, History

Assignment Help:

The Emperor Marcus Aurelius writes in his Meditations, "Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant: all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. This mortal life is a little thing, lived in a little corner of the earth; and little, too, is the longest fame to come."

Does it contradict any aspect of what is mentioned in the Metamorphoses by Ovid (comparing to books 11-12) (about the Roman time or history), or does it reinforce ideas ?
