The Metamorphoses: Ovid (Everyman’s Library CLASSICS)

One of the founding texts of Western literature, the Metamorphoses is nevertheless anything but earnest or off-putting. Ovid’s sequence of fifteen witty and playful poems sketches the history of the world from its creation to the poet’s own time through a series of transformation myths in which gods and goddesses succumb to all-too-human passions, not least in the matter of love. Frequently translated, imitated and paraphrased. – ASIN: 1841593583 | ISBN13: 9781841593586 | ISBN-13: 978-1841593586
