The Metamorphoses of Antoninus Liberalis by Antoninus Liberalis

These forty-one tales written in the second century AD by Greek author Antoninus Liberalis and translated from the Greek for the first time, offer an unusual insight into the preoccupations and legends of antiquity. These tales are quirky, exciting and sometimes disturbing. Many have relevance for modern as well as classical understanding of psychology and the imagination. Each story is usefully provided with full annotation and commentary.

'A new translation of unknown Greek legends, with a highly original but very learned commentary on aspects of lore from nightingales to typhoons' - Marina Warner, The Week
