Ted Hughes,Ovid
A powerful version of the Latin classic by England's late Poet Laureate, now in paperback.When it was published in 1997, ,Tales from Ovid ,was immediately recognized as a classic in its own right, as the best rendering of Ovid in generations, and as a major book in Ted Hughes's oeuvre. The, Metamorphoses of Ovid, stands with the works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton as a classic of world poetry; Hughes translated twenty-four of its stories with great power and directness. The result is the liveliest twentieth-century version of the classic, at once a delight for the Latinist and an appealing introduction to Ovid for the general reader.
