Description
Ovid's Metamorphoses is a rich and varied exploration of change and transformation, drawing on the myth and legend of ancient Greece and Rome. The poet weaves together a diverse range of narratives, each reflecting the fluid and often paradoxical nature of the universe.
Through its accessible and modern translation, this edition of the Metamorphoses brings the poetic verse to life, with comprehensive explanatory notes and a glossary to help readers navigate the complex world of the text. A bibliography and index of names provide further context and support for study.
