Ovid,David Raeburn,Denis Feeney
Prized through the ages for its splendor and its savage, sophisticated wit, ,The Metamorphoses, is a masterpiece of Western culture--the first attempt to link all the Greek myths, before and after Homer, in a cohesive whole, to the Roman myths of Ovid's day. Horace Gregory, in this modern translation, turns his poetic gifts toward a deft reconstruction of Ovid's ancient themes, using contemporary idiom to bring today's reader all the ageless drama and psychological truths vividly intact. ,--From the book jacket
