Comprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths,
Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from
the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western
culture. It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a
gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual
imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers
all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poetics,
imagination, and ideology – and will be useful as a teaching aid
and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its
reception. Historically, the poem's audience includes readers
interested in opera and ballet, psychology and sexuality, myth and
painting, feminism and posthumanism, vegetarianism and
metempsychosis (to name just a few outside the area of Classical
Studies).
