Description
Ovid's Metamorphoses is a rich and witty poem that weaves together a dazzling array of mythological tales, linked by the idea of transformation. In this accessible translation, Ovid explores the magical changes that men and women undergo, often as a result of love or lust, as they are transformed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. From the creation of the world to the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best-known myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome, including tales of love, adventure, and transformation. This poem has had a profound influence on writers and artists throughout the centuries, and its enduring appeal lies in its erudite yet light-hearted style, which balances drama and playfulness. Published by National Geographic Books, Ovid's Metamorphoses is a key work in the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
