The first part of this collection delves into the origins of the world and humanity, tracing the decline from a golden age to catastrophic events such as the flood. Guy Lee's edition offers a detailed commentary with explanatory notes and a useful index, alongside critical notes on the readings adopted by his text. A substantial introduction provides insight into Ovid himself, his works, including Metamorphoses, and his unique style of writing in hexameter. The edition also includes a section on translations of the Metamorphoses, offering readers a nuanced understanding of this complex work. This edition is an excellent resource for those studying Latin or Ancient Languages, providing a comprehensive understanding of Ovid's Metamorphoses I.
