Description
The Metamorphoses is a witty and playful sequence of poems that explores the history of the world from its creation to the poet's own time. Through a series of transformation myths, Ovid examines the human experience, revealing the passions and vulnerabilities of gods and goddesses.
Translated, imitated and paraphrased countless times, this foundational text of Western literature remains a compelling and thought-provoking read. Its unique blend of humor, insight and storytelling makes it a fascinating choice for anyone interested in the human condition.
First published in 2013, this edition of The Metamorphoses is a great introduction to Ovid's work, offering a fresh and engaging perspective on one of the most enduring stories of ancient Greece and Rome.
