Metamorphoses by Ovid
Metamorphoses--the best-known poem by one of the wittiest poets of classical antiquity--takes as its theme change and transformation, as illustrated by Greco-Roman myth and legend. Melville's new translation reproduces the grace and fluency of Ovid's style, and its modern idiom offers a fresh understanding of Ovid's unique and elusive vision of reality.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
